Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I’ve been playing some games and I’ve noticed that my rank on the leaderboard goes up after I lose a game VS high ranked players (45-50+). Does anyone know why this happens? If the other team is lower ranked, my rating tends to drop for obvious reasons. I’m just not sure why it’s even going up VS highly ranked players. Shouldn’t it stay the same, or go down a few ranks?

Sorry if someone already posted something similiar. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Thanks!

Two obvious options

• You’ve played more matches in that hour and won some of them so your net gain for the hour is positive.
• You lost a small amount of rank due to them being high level and other people above you lost more rank than you and fall below. You gained rank but lost rating.

so mean to me lately im gunna go suicide.

i’ll be frank and admit i don’t know how the ranking systems works in its entirety.. though, this might offer some explanation. there’s also a third variable in the whole ranking equation, and i am using this term loosely. so there’s you, the other team and winning or losing, which obviously can determine their rank.

then, there are the rest of us who are being ranked too. so without looking into the exact numbers (and especially since some info is hidden to us), it could also be that there were other people who’s ranking dropped way more than yours did. assuming yours stayed the same, or dropped by a teeny bit, perhaps others loss by a lot, to lower ranked or similar ranked people, thus “bumping” your ranking up.

just one thought.

Ok, thanks Silven and Akamon! Carm I will disregard all of your comments like I’ve done with your PMs.

I see youre a good boy on the forums Rage Quit. With all the offensive language you belch out on a daily basis. Im confused as to why you have not been permanently banned yet.
