Guild Wars 2

And frankly I don’t care. I don’t play often, and I’m glad that since the beginning of the season, most of my games have been balanced. Compared to last season, where I had to win 40 games almost in a row to just begin to face somewhat worthy opponents in Diamond, I’d say the matchmaking is much better. The people complaining about not progressing should quit this MMO mentality and realize that in the end, getting good games is all that matters, and that winning is just an added bonus.

YES! This has been an eye opening experience, I’ve become a lot more humble as a person after day 1 No but seriously, you’re right PvP should be played for the sake of PvP, not rewards.

PLUS winning a clutch game is sooooo much sweeter than riding the winstreak waves.

The leagues have taught me that I as a player have alot I can still improve on. Which before the endless waves of random match after random match sort of masked.

I have reached legendary in the previous two seasons and I am well on my way to reaching it in this season too. Yet I have had times when I get completely demolished and I realize their are some basic things I am kittening up that never occured to me. Before I just relied on my combat ability for example and that carried me through most matches. But the leagues taught me that ultimately my knowledge of rotations was pretty much nonexistant. Im good at killing. But thats about it. It also showed me that in the end I wasn’t good at working together with someone. I timed knockbacks and heals in ways that were beneficial to my own survival and ability to deal damage. Not necessary in ways that were good for my allies. These are mistakes that in the normal matches I fought before didn’t have any significant issue. But in the league matches can ultimately cost my team a team fight that could snowball into a loss. So ive been able to identify places I need to improve on… though ill admit its slow going haha. Going from a solo quers isolated playstyle towards a team fighters isn’t exactly easy.

Don’t think of it as stuck, my friend. Think of it as getting even matches. Do you really care about what people think of the little symbol on your name tag?

You are in Saphire? Great. Get in a PvP guild, form a premade team with voicechat, and win some more; and above all have fun together.

I dont think its the little symbol thats the problem. Its the fact that ANET in their infinite wisdom created a Legendary PVE item as a reward for a PVP League.

If they had just made it a skin or even an ascended item, you wouldn’t have PVE scrubs who don’t care about PVP messing up match making for the players that do care about PVP.

If that item wasn’t in…you wouldn’t have had a season to begin with. Just a handfull of people playing eachother over and over again. At least those wings gave diversity. It’s not the players fault anet can’t fix their system and creates unfair situations in every season now.

Don’t worry, soon everyone will have their wings and will not care or go to pvp anymore. You will have the empty and stale dreamworld you are asking for.

Tempting PvE players to come to PvP with an legendary item is not the way to do it. I would rather fight the same people over and over again since at least they know basic strategy vs PVE’rs who think they are fighting a dungeon NPC and can’t undertand why their PVE rotations don’t work on players.

If you think that’s the mentality of a PvE player then you are honestly ignorant. Keep thinking that.

There are as many bad apples in the “PvE side” as there are in the “PvP side”. What does that mean on the long run? nothing.

Sure im ignorant. When i read posts from players who QQ about how they’ve been grinding away for hundreds of games and can’t get to legend and how they just want their back piece so they can leave pvp and get back to pve which is what they really enjoy.

Or when im playing a match and a teammate with 15000+ achievement points, says in map chat how we lost because we suck and how he had more personal points than me and so he’s a better player, when all he did all match was double cap every node and triple attack beast in forest map.

And FYI i play every game mode, open world , pvp, wvw, dungeons. Only mode i dont play is fractals.

i stuck too….no…i havent really started yet
i played my first match a few days later to get my sapphire placement…
my first match seems rather one sided, i won and i was testing build lol.

i didnt play after that. i will find a time to continue with all the new sapphire

Lost three close ones today. Oh well, Overwatch is going to be fun for the next week.

@Spartacus…nothing u said has anything to do with “anything” but ok)
