Guild Wars 2

Currently, if you have any interest in leaderboards (just leave the thread if you are going to bash people that enjoy finding their name on their) you tend to lean toward the most effective profession, instead of the one you most enjoy.

The current setup highly discourages you playing different professions that you would be interested in. For instance, I really really enjoy playing Mesmer, but I’m not very good at it. I can hotjoin, but I would rather have my nosehairs pulled out. So, I can choose to solo Q, but I then am hurting my MMR, which gives me an even higher chance of getting matched with new players or 4v5s, even when I play on my thief or warrior.

So, I guess there are 2 questions:

1- How hard would it be to implement a character specific leaderboard/mmr system
2 – Are there any plans, whatsoever to make this change.

I would ask for a time-frame too, but that is like asking someone from Hogwarts to say the name of main antagonist.

not

cause troll with a character and lose forever than delete

edit: maby not per character but per class

I think it would be interesting, but would eventually just clutter the leaderboards even more and create additional problems.

Instead I think clickable names on the leaderboard that shows a breakdown of that accounts win/loss record per class would be great.

it would be nice but i think it wouldn’t work because of the above mentioned clutter and/or troll. imagine the actual decay problem with every player several times on one leaderboard

adding a ranked/unranked option to both queues could be a solution to play with other classes than your main without impacting mmr nor leaderboard issues

So we would be forced farming noobs for 50 games or what? Not helping anyone.
