Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I was super excited that we had a new test season where skill mattered instead of game grinding.

I grouped with a couple of friends and we started queing for ranked over and over. We tryharded a lot because we thought wining was important and we placed in the top 100 with 80% winrate.

I was quite satisfied with the experience and I went to sleep. I just woke up and I realized that some players kept playing all night long and they are already unreachable.

Top 1 EU is already at 49 games.

Averaging 10 minutes per game and 7 minutes queue (might be longer during the night) this guy has played 17*49 = 13,8 hours in a single day.

He is the best in Europe because he has played the most games.

Ladder = Grind = Time

Maybe it could be fixed if the ladder would only count your first 10 games per day?

If you are satisfied with the experience just stop looking at LB. As long as it was fun right?

I’m thinking that you are missing the point…

I suggested to cap the number of matches for season in an old topic.

There is no way to compete with people who play 40 games/daily

And it doesn’t matter if they are bad or not, they ’ll win

This thing kills people at beginning, they simply won’t play the season (or they’ll play very few games) because they already know they don’t have this insane time to play and try to be competitive.

I’m really sad Anet changed basically nothing for the Second Season Test in leaderboard.

It would all be fixed if the ladder would display MMR …
