Guild Wars 2

Anet you guys had it right in guild wars 1 where once you solo q and won a match your whole team progressed to another match and this process would keep repeating till your team would lose and disband. I was pvping and was with “the squad.” The problem was no of us talked but dammm the rotations were just beautiful and at the end of match i accidentally clicked go to lobby out of habit. Alright the question is will we see gw1 matchmaking system in gw2 in between leagues?

guild wars 1 random arena, it is okay, since the fights usually end after the first team clash. usually 1 or 2 minutes per match, with 30 seconds queue per match.

since it is random arena, no match making involved.

in guild wars 2, each match takes an average of 10 minutes so no, it will not work well.

GW1 used to have capture points in random and team arenas. Arenanet eventually removed them because they were so unpopular.

What I’d like to see back from GW1 was how they did matches in randoms. If you won a match your team stayed together, and you played another team that had won. If you went on a long enough win streak you got a point, even longer you got more points but then got slotted against premade teams.

Even better was how the old fame points were determined. There were a series of different maps styles death match, relic run, etc. If you lost you were bounced out. If you won you got slotted against another team that won. The points scaled from 1 pt for a first round win up to 40 points for a 13 match win streak. To get the long streaks you had to run a balanced team since you had to win on several map styles. The causal farmers could still advance their fame, but the way the rank system was set up it ensured that you couldn’t just grind out the higher tier ranks. You had to earn them.
