Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand why players who are new to or aren’t good playing in team environments join ranked matches. Before you all give me crap understand the player group that I’m talking about. I’m talking about the players who don’t know the basics and don’t care to learn the basics about tpvp. The players that when asked to do something instantly start troll mode and ruin the entire game. Players who proceed to let the opposing team farm them, run around with no particular destination, and or sit in the WP for the rest of the match all to “show me up” for me trying to help the team. I ask them why they joined structured TEAM PVP if they wont attempt to play with the team. I get a lot of he same answers from these types of players and they are ; I don’t care about tpvp and nobody takes is seriously. My question to these players is why are you in a ranked match if you don’t care? ANET just put in a brand new arena for the hundreds of players like you guys that “don’t care” and instead of using it you continue to join ranked matches and troll the entire team.

I think ANET should put a minimum pvp rank to join ranked matches so the players who care wont have to deal with nearly as much of the crap as they currently get, I’d say a minimum of rank 40 to join ranked matches would be nice.

I just made a post about this in the dev’s thread. trolls and ragequitters to be fiercely punished, and 5v4/5v3 matches shouldn’t count toward anyone’s MMR.

Ranked matches give more progress towards the reward tracks for the same amount of effort they put into it.

That’s my only guess and that’s why I join ranked matches when I do PvP….but I put in an honest effort to win and play.

man i hear you . . .

Anet should create a minimum of games played by profession to go ranked.

Is not fair for people that really really want to have good matches.

The rewards are now the same between ranked and unranked. Hench this should prevent more people since they are not getting anything more.

Well I haven’t seen or heard about anything about Dishonor being turned on, it’s still turned off as of https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Dishonor-NOT-turned-on-Dec-2-update/first#post4598461

Some people just que so much they recognize a name on the other team or so and instant ‘my team is going to get rekt’ and they log off to not waste there time.

When they decide to turn on dishonor I will assume ragequit will be minimal. Only at extreme levels, like playing against a team consisting of players quality level as Caed, Karmy, Stunningstyles, Iuck, and Joshua S, while your solo queing.

I sure wouldn’t blame someone for ragequitting even with dishonor turned on against that kind of team, that’s pretty extreme match there, chances to win are, well lets say pretty much nothing. Chances of winning is like finding a needle in a haystack of a barn mile wide 20 feet of hay, yaa good luck with that.

Matter of fact, if I had courtyard with those guys, I’d be like. None of yall leave the entrance because we will lose if you guys leave the entrance. If I saw those guys in que, if we didn’t land courtyard and didn’t get the random chance to determine who wins by timeout and nobody scoring, pretty much count it as a loss and plently of reason for somebody to ragequit if there team is no where near the skill level of those players.

Someone asked about this in map chat not long ago actually. Didn’t know the rewards are equal now. I’ve been guilty of playing ranked just for the hell of it (farming reward tracks, mostly), but if the same number of points are rewarded for unranked play I’ma head back there with the rest of the filthy casuals.

The new interface is going to have a lot of new and casual players hopping into ranked matches. I’d advise any of you super competitive types to mind your ‘tone’ and be as diplomatic as possible. Maybe try some humour. Barking orders or raging at your team mates isn’t going to motivate them at all, especially if they barely give a finch’s tit to begin with.

Next step: leagues. That should better the pvp experience too.
