Guild Wars 2

Through most of the season there have been around 12 people with a legendary skill rating.

In my opinion that number seems really low.

A global rating boost of +50 or +100 would result in 27 / 55 players in legendary. (at the time of writing)

Thats what i have been saying whole along, only 20- 30 players are really legendary in gw2, rest are average and bad players.
I know its hard for most of u to understand this but thats the truth

Im guessing this is NA? Also keep in mind some are alt accounts.

In EU there are around 50 in legendary. Personally I don’t think it is too small. The number will probably increase too.

yea and like half of those are alt acconts. so only 5 ppl are good at this game the rest are bad

It is not small, issue is alt accounts and wintrading/dodging/sniping/afking for season which leads to team of lower ranks (e.g. 1700) facing legendary ranks (yes, it is a thing) consistently.

Problem is, even if you win vs legends, the rating gains are extremely low in comparison, the losses are still huge which makes climbing extremely slow. Winning vs legend with lower ranks requires a lot of effort which is not rewarded by the system at all.

Why is it a problem? Well let’s assume player A is actually legend quality player but placed in 1700, he has to win A LOT of games to even get somewhere near legend. Thing is, he won’t win so many matches in a row simply because not every teammate he gets is as good or better than legend players he faces. Thus amount of legend players is so limited.

Obviously situation on NA is worse due to all the problems there discussed on reddit way too many. I really wish Anet did something about such (borderline) illegal actions (e.g. paying gold for afk) but they probably won’t.

tbh i think the divisions finally have the prestige they deserve
and it shouldnt be changed

you pretty much see only real active pvpers in the top 50 in EU

and i think someone doing pvp only should have something to show in comparison to people who like pvp too but dont focus everything on it

only problem that i agree on is with alt accounts taking spots :/

edit: i also think anet should make decay permanent to some extent
maybe make 10-20 decay from those 100 be permanent
or make it start on the 2nd day of not playing (instead of only the 4th!) and give permanent decay right from the beginning… starting with a low permanent decay numbers on first day and increasing every following inactive day (maybe 5, 10, 15, …)

it´s the stupid placement match system. A simple placement according to PvP rank from broze to maximum mid gold and then letting glico do the work would have been much better. This is the main fault they did with season 5.

That’s funny, because it has the opposite effect. Most people rightly think the top players are exploiters.

The top 10 is more like a wall of shame. The top 250? Not much better.

you really think the current top 10 on EU is wall of shame? cause if you read my post i was talking about EU
it is only main accs in top 10 and basically all top tier players and almost all of them have played in and some won in the big tournaments

I noticed that NA has like 4 accounts in top 5 that have only 13-15 games played and only playing 1 game every 3 days it seems which is stupid yes

Guess a more punishing (maybe 5-20 permanent per day – for example increasing over time of inactivity and starting on 2nd day already instead of 4th) decay system would really help here

The NA players clutter EU LBs as well with alt accounts, ran yesterday into EZ PZ members on EU :s

I think Legend is appropriately difficult to get into and stay in, ppl need to git gud and stop crying.

Permanent decay should be a thing, and highest placement should be start of plat1.

I guess we can only hope ANet releases the ban hammer.

Ultimately though the NA scene is just hurting itself tbh.

Whoever said this season is a bell curve needs their eyes checked.
