Guild Wars 2

So I want to start off by saying, I don’t do as much PvP as probably 95% of players who post in this section,

Now to the question, what is the incentive to play, tonight ive played 10 matches, not a big sample and I won 50% of them, but im stuck down in bronze, I have hit silver a few times, now I don’t expect to be at the top, but the problem is, on the matches ive lost its because the players really don’t care, 1 of them pretty much told me that they win for losing, as they get pips anyway, and rating doesn’t matter,

Where rating may not matter, id rather be playing matches that are closer than complete blow outs, how can I get to matches that aren’t complete blow outs, will these players who don’t care, eventually fall far enough down that I wont have to worry about it anymore, id be happy to sit in bronze if the matches where more closely contested, but 500-150 matches because someone went afk, or just gave free kills, really sucks,

I like the improved rewards, but I think its giving to much for free, and players are not really encouraged to try and play, when even if they lose and don’t care for rating, get rewarded, my rating can only improve if I win, and that requires 4 other people to want that aswell.

Its really put be on a downer for a game mode im really only getting into now, I can put the hours in, and progress then end up being matched to players who don’t care, and it pulls me all the way back down, to the blow out matches.

People tend to play PvP for a few reasons, I’m not going to name all of them as I don’t know every person who plays PvP reason for doing so.

But mine is simple. Easy as hell to get gold. And I might only be T3 silver, but I’m having great fun. My matches are very close most of the time. And I’m playing burn guard and having fun with it. So that’s why I’m playing. Easy gold, got a few ascended weapons to finish off some of my toons so they are all kitted out, now I’m just going to farm up the gold playing a few games a day and enjoying my self. I’m winning most of my games at the moment, so that’s helping the gold roll in.
