Guild Wars 2

There’s been a huge amount of rage in the mists recently, some of it admittedly due to balance issues and the lack of a patch before this season, but largely due to people getting more into PvP and caring more about winning, which I actually consider a positive.. ish.

Some people are going about getting their league wins by tanking their MMR. Some may say the fault lies with Anet for designing a flawed system, it doesn’t really matter. To tank your MMR, you go into ranked games and ruin the experience for 9 other people by deliberately playing awfully or not at all. By doing this you lower your MMR enough to drop below your skill level, leading to an easier ascension to the next level.

This really hurts enjoyment of the game for a lot of people. I don’t agree with it but understand why you are doing it. However, there are a tonne of people out there like you. Please, take the time to make a party of 5 of you so that you can stop yourself ruining the PvP experience for others, its really not that hard to do and would really improve the community at the moment.

yeah thats what i did.

i grab 4 guild members from my casual pvp guild, then we zerg around, training their fighting skills.

we had 4 loses yesterday night, everyone’s happy.
they still need more combat training though.

in the first and second game, they (my 4 other team mates) got wiped very fast in group fights.

in the 3rd and 4th game, we stood a better chance in the group fights.

yeah our MMR is dropping steadily.

i did remind them that if they solo q, they might be getting low MMR team mates too if we do this.

btw the better skilled pvp players in my casual pvp guild did not want to lower their MMR as they said its easier to solo q.
