Guild Wars 2

Like seriously….I’m a freaking paying customer who still invest in gems and skins, have I got the rights to have a fair game without being griefed by others?

-First I won’t cover the names any longer , I dare you to send me an infraction for doing this that would be the cherry on the cake

-Second, the match was over even before starting , they were playing supbar builds made to lose like a core shatter mesmer, core engi rifle and so on
They were instantly dead the second they’ve reached mid.

I did go afk once the match was 120 to 0 as it was clear that they were throwing the match and this is the third time that happened today, legendary players throwing the matches on purpose, trolling and griefing the playerbase.

Now I have a simple solution : Introduce legendary demotion and title stripping – basically people that reach legendary can be demoted down to diamond and be stripped of the title acquired if they lose last pip at T1 legend…this is the only way

Subpar builds != made to lose. Maybe they were just trying something new, using their legend safety net.

I’m sick kittening tired as this was the third kittening time today that I get these losers ( not the same ones) in my team, this is kittening BS for real
This is not some childish rant, these people are genuinely trashing the games of others ’it’s about time they ban these kids already….esport my kitten really…

Probably throwing games to reduce MMR for faster queue times

Lol, look at this rage

Leagues are not esports, they’re casual, single player content with a dash of multiplayer.

Nothing can be done if people run bad builds that they can’t play, this thread is just good for a laugh.

Don’t forget a sprinkling of Salt also .

Nobody consider GW2 an esport game…outside little kids and your immature, irrational attitude it’s once again a testament of that.

Moving on seen as you try “very very hard” to appear smart and all maybe..you can understand this:

In-game Infractions

The following will result in either a temporary account suspension or permanent account termination, depending upon the severity of the matter:

Engaging in PvP match manipulation, disrupting a PvP match by not actively playing in good faith, or any other form of PvP griefing, exploitation, or abuse

So I don’t know where your “comment” comes from..do you know what GW2 EULA is?..it seems not

I honestly feel sorry for those players who take GW2 pvp seriously…I only want that pve title and be done with it, I never placed any faith behind a smurf title like that.
Fact is I generally despise cheaters, griefers and similar trash from games to the rest, no exception

Yeah don’t you just hate people who can’t afford HoT and want to play PvP with non-HoT builds, they clearly just want to throw games on purpose.

Yeah don’t you just hate people who can’t afford HoT and want to play PvP with non-HoT builds, they clearly just want to throw games on purpose.

And I assume you have ways to verify that all these people have reached legendary with a non HoT account with the builds they were using…if so pls show me your method..unless we have to believe that legendary status can be passed from one account to another..oh wait that must be it ^^

So much rage maybe it’ll be heard now because it’s from an elite player.

And I assume you have ways to verify that all these people have reached legendary with a HoT account without the builds they were using…if so pls show me your method. If Leeto has already hit legendary with an F2P account then anyone can.

Mine is an assumption as much as yours this I know already but…
If they did truly reached legendary with a non-HoT account then it’s impossible that they did so without ever facing HoT meta builds and with that in mind I don’t see or can justify their actions in that game.
To lose it’s totally possible, to lose that much at that level? 0-120 score within 1-2m? ….Strongly doubt it

Yeah anyone who is losing the opener by 0-120 is clearly just trying to throw games

Ah I was the war against you. And here I was thinking my teammates and myself were awesome players for shreking you.

Reality hurts my feelings.

I said that comment because:

Supreme.3164:

….esport my kitten really…

You’re scoffing at PIPS not being eSports when they never were claimed to be, haha.

This thread is gold because you’re now off on a huge tangent about griefers and people throwing, ruining the community, when people are just playing casually for fun, (re: not eSports), and you AFK.

Belial.9350:

This guy gets it! You probably shouldn’t AFK after losing the opener by 120. Cause I’m pretty sure you AFKing made them feel like you were the one griefing, hey? You should mail them and apologize.

Malediktus.9250:

Likely this^.

And it could be worse.

There are a number of people who have gotten close to legend but when other people in the match figured out how close they were those people blackmailed them for gold threatening to throw the match if not payed.

Have I not the rights to a fair game without being grieved by others?

FTFY

For the topic itself, if anyone enters a match with less than a full 5 man team, then it’s expected of them to be playing at their best and for the win. Anything less than that is unsportsmanlike like and should be looked into for banning.

I’ve had some ESL players, or near-ESL refusing to play with me because I was not playing meta Tempest. Guess where I am now?

I left this game. Will see what happens in April.

No because as soon as you hit Legendary T1 and lose your first game, you’ll be back making a new topic petitioning the removal of Division demotion.

Sadly, Legendary division right now is the worst division to have fun and good games.

This player attitude happens a lot, Legendary players don’t care if they win or lose, so if they have someone in their team they don’t like for some reason, they go just afk ruining the entire game.

I had a game yesterday where my team played against a bear druid and backpedalling necromancers that were legendary, we won of course, but I can imagine how frustrating it can be for people getting queued with those players, also backpedalling, it means you’re losing control of wtf you’re doing, this should not happen to legendary players, backpedalling legendary players don’t belong in legendary.

OP has a point though. I’ve stated this during the previous season and there is still no change to this – there is no urge for legendary players to try hard. The prestige rewards are abyssmal and most people just stop playing once they hit division 6 or they goof around as they were playing hotjoin because they have no incentive. This is most obvious during weekends, had to play with and against s/d thief, flamethrower engie, obscure warrior build and other nonsense simply because noone gives a kitten . I would actually reclimb the ladder if I had a second account to get better games.

I have also seen noon meta builds in legendary. Some did great, some did not so great. Same as meta ppl, some are pro, some are poop. No difference here. What i did notice is that “meta” ppl who think they are good, starts to flame and blame non meta players if they are loosing, even if non meta player contributed much more to the game than meta peeps ever did. This thread belongs in line as all those “i always get noobs on my team and thats why i have 50 loose streak”. And those ppl that usualy starts to complain or flame are weak link in team, even with meta build.

Once again, legendary players that act as griefers and trolls not playing to win and generally sabotaging their team

Nice sportsmanship, great moderation..is this what you call a legitimate attempt to create a healthy PvP community?

Ofc I reported this @Jusu for botting…not that I expect anything to happen to him….what a company..

Once players hit T1 Legendary, 99% of them stop caring. Expect people finishing their dailies, profession achievements or playing for fun once in a while, maybe with lolbuilds.

They should not be allowed to ruin games for others! This is kittening BS!

The best this company does is to employ people that infract you on a forum for calling somebody a noob…or for showing their ingame name on the forum, just watch me being infracted for this while the players I have reported will continue to ruin games for others..and this is anet.

At legendary, do ppl have really any incentive to bring their ace-game?

Also, since there is no pause feature in PvP(not that I’m aware of) then if something comes up in irl (doorbell or call from mom), since you have nothing to lose then why not take the call right away.

Pretty similar situation with some ppl with asc gear, legendary weapons, all masteries etc just standing around and chatting, they have nothing to work for so why not just relax.

So why not play hotjoin then? Actually I don’t really get why anyone would play hotjoin… To my experience, in hotjoin everyone just wants to be in the winning team and ppl in the losing team just leave, leaving the game 3 v 5 or something… And most of them are titled like “red team wins” so I don’t really see any fun in that.

How about unraned then? Well I guess everyone saw what it can be like when ranked was disabled. If I would get to legendary I think I would play exactly how I wanted, whatever builds I wanted and not give a kitten what ppl think.

I think the system would work better if there was a visible mmr and at certain mmr you would get certain rewards. This way it would be the mmr that gives you the bragging rights and you would actually care about not losing. It would also give a better representation of player’s skill than divisions. Matches would also be more even if mmr was used to balance the teams. Maybe there could be a title that adjusts and shows your mmr if you want to show off.

I was on my winstreak towards legendary, needed last win. Well surprisingly I had players in my team who willingly gave away crucial caps. They “guarded” our point with 2 man, both not standing on point but like 1200 range away, and they let enemy thief decap it twice. And in the end we were 3 ticks away from 500 and then enemy got animals in time and we lost. All while those 2 players “defending” a point, and 3 of us busting our kitten , but you know how 4-5v3 works.

And up to that, my whole league winrate has been close to 66%, maybe even higher, but after that loss, I’ve lost like 80% of games. Out of nowhere, no change in my playstyle, I reroll like before and play and rotate like before, but still 66% winrate changed to 80% loserate, no matter what.

kittening bullkitten.

Just to add, had a match with this invidual who went afk on match. We even had a point in that match where we won 4v5 fight without him, so it was not about just getting steamrolled. And he was legendary so nothing for him to lose.

Great job Anet!
