Guild Wars 2

I have no expectation of winning an ESL or a major tourney. With that there is no remaining incentive to play well aside from personal reasons.

In SC2 I want a masters league border so I try hard to improve.
In League I want gold league so I try hard to improve.
In csgo I want to play with my friends so I try hard to enter their division.

In gw2 I get no nothing that will reward me for playing well so I feel ranked is pointless. I see people who have 20% worse win/loss ratios pinging their glorious hero armor and I wonder why I’m still here. I place in an AG tourney, top 100 solo queue, and the first ToL qualifier yet my teams don’t get their rewards and I wonder why I’m here.

Give us something for skill over grind, because those people without teams or who are below the skill of ESL feel left out and will move to greener places. My friends list feels more like a high school yearbook than a contacts list, and I’m feeling I know why.

And I know I’m not the only one.

I’m on the same boat as you are. I tend to try my hardest even in 4v5 situation, has never ragequitted on a match even if it was 0-500, and always try to improve by any means necessity. However, except for few people that were in the same situation as me, I have no means of entering into high level pvp circle or teams.

The leaderboard is about farming, most of the match ups punish me by making me carry lower mmr players against pre mades/turret engies/good players, and other than reward track and dragon rank finisher I have nothing else to play pvp for. I have no means of measuring my skill, or seeing how I do other than paying some people to watch my vod. We need something that actually rewards our skill instead of grinds

you could always be a crazy guy and make friends and have Fun

I’m really hoping this issue gets addressed in the expansion. At the moment my streaming content involves me just doing the same unranked queue day in and day out. It would be really awesome if I had something to work towards.

I’m wondering why you felt the need to add this portion. Although I’m also curious as to what you meant by it. Are you implying it’s too easy to achieve the reward? If so, the rest of your post seems kinda pointless, as that type of armor reward seems about as significant as a “gold border” on another game’s loading screen.

Or maybe you don’t have that reward, and you would like it! If so, that seems to be a reasonable goal to work towards!
