Guild Wars 2

I found myself in quite a few tournaments today in which I was paired with level 1-5s, and while that’s fine in hotjoin, it doesn’t seem appropriate to be paired with people who have virtually no experience in tPvP.

Being paired up with people who have little experience and will likely hinder your team as a whole is a frustrating experience in solo or sometimes even team queue, if you go in with under 5 people.

I think a good idea would be to restrict Tournaments to rank 10 and above so as to avoid newer people from participating until they have more experience. It’s great to learn PvP and good that people are interested, but tournament is meant to be at least somewhat competitive. I’m not some elitist wanting to keep people who’ve never PvPed from doing it, but there should be some form of segregation between regular and tourmament PvP.

I’d suggest better team balancing as well, but that’s obvious.

The Issue is probably as old as (free) tournaments and there are always already some threads dealing with this or similiar topics (even on page 1 / 2), so you probably dont have to start a new thread.

Nevertheless, I agree with you.

rank 10 as requirement to be able to sign up tpvp? everyone is r10+ now since all did farm skyhammer.

this wont solve the issue. first there need to be a pvp exp rollback for those which did farm skyhammer , and then you can think about something like you suggested but i would make it r20 to be able to sign up tpvp.

Skyhammer farm is a joke actually, they should really bann those people.

Just had a match with 4 sub lvl 10s in my team against. We outnumbered the other team, they only had 4 players. Still lost by a huge margin. Its terrible.

It is terrible, any compitent systems analyst with forethought would have fixed this a long time ago unless this goes against some kind of policy.
