Guild Wars 2

I just got a pip. My team lost 403-500 tho so I’m curious if it’s a bug or there are some conditions that allow this kind of “pip behaviour” ?

You probably were expected to loose badly and you only lost marginally. In short, you did better than expected. The real question is, why were you given such a match?

This is normal. Before the match the system tries to predict who will win and by how much, and you actual pip loss/gain is based on how you did relative to that guess, rather than just win/loss. So you can gain pips in a loss by barely losing a match you should have gotten blown out in, and you can lose pips in a win by barely winning a match you should have dominated.

Because beside the % of loss he still could win or do well. (and he did). And got reward for it…

This is one of the best things about the system… its ability to improvise unfair matches and reward properly (supposing people wouldn’t manipulate it)

I just lost my last 2 games, with a score of 480+ in both, and got 2 pips each game. Once in a while it feels good even to lose.
