Guild Wars 2

whats the point of having leagues if people in different leagues are constantly pitted against each other?

i had a losing streak of 10 in a row last night, and about half way through the losing streak, i realized that me, as a tier one amber leaguer, was constantly matched up with emerald leaguers. (i could not see this until the end of the match of course, because Anet obviously doesn’t want us abandoning the match based on being unfairly pitted against people in other leagues)

after reading these forums and talking with guildmates, it seems that people are losing on purpose to tank their MMR so they face off against worse players. all in order to help them cross into the next league. IMO, once you cross into the next league, you should not be matched against people in the lower league for easy wins.

the only acceptable exception to separating the players from different leagues completely , is that there’s just not enough players online from one league or the other. however, last night, i constantly counted a good 15 or more amber leaguers in my own instance of the PvP lobby.

i keep hearing that leagues are not factored into MMR system at all… which IMO, totally defeats the purpose of leagues in the first place. especially since the league system was hyped up to improve matchmaking, and make better, more matched games for players.
