Guild Wars 2

If there was no mmr reset during the launch of the leagues and if every match is based on the mmr and not the tier you are in then the system is broken. If these things are correct the matchmaking defeats the whole purpose of the league tier system which is meant to rank people.

• People should be able to climb the tiers and leagues and face harder opponents as they climb up tiers.

• The tier system itself is designed to be a mmr system but if there is 2x mmr affecting people the other stops affecting and in this case it’s the new league system. (For example someone with high mmr climbs very slowly from the amber tier if he faces equal or harder opponents and may never reach the proper tier level).

• Matches should be inside of the current tier, tier set and league.

These things creates a good and working system where people can really see which players are the best in the game.

Now queuing as a team has put us against pugs/premades more often than against guild teams. Shouldn’t guild ladder be competition between guilds only? I can’t see the point here if we are queuing against pugs and gaining rating because it has nothing to do with guild ladder especially when there is possibly money on the line.

• Guild ladder shouldn’t be guild vs premade/pugs it should be guild vs guild.

• The system should always look 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5 guild matches and these matches should have the mmr system to get balanced mmr pugs on 3v3 and 4v4 guild vs guild battles.

I understand that the pvp population may be an issue and that’s why the system should first rank people based on tier and after certain amount of time (for example 3 minutes) start expand the search area to tier set and eventually the whole league.

For guild queue it should only be guild matches from guild ladder based on current rating (if guilds are not queuing on your current level you have to wait until guilds come online or until your rating drops low enough).

These are just some thoughts that came to my mind based on what people are saying at the moment and i think this would make pvp more popular. I would like to get the official response about leagues and mmr system from the arenanet though.
