Guild Wars 2

So now with the release of solo queue 99% of the playerbase will never even consider forming a team and play PvP how it should be played. There was no team promotion before and it doesn’t look like there will be any from now on. The same teams that play from the first beta like Curse (ex Paradigm) will continue to play with the other 5-6 known teams untill the game is physically dead. There is no platform that helps people find other fellow pvpers to create a team except the LFT forum which is almost completely dead and people below rank 50 (which shouldn’t be a skill display anyway) are not even considered as tryouts. Can you please explain to me at what part of this whole year did you focus on the so called “esport” aspect you kept advertising before the release?

This afternoon I had the paid tournament feeling. It took 20 minutes for a match to pop.

Arenanet needs to hurry with their reward overhaul and it needs to be good. They need to incentivize making a team. Even the team leaderboards aren’t really an incentive, because it’s the same as before and it’ll take long before that evens out.

The lack of steady teams and team names on the leaderboards aren’t very attractive either. You’d expect more from a team leaderboard, no?

I do wonder why WvW (a month or 2 ago) had a blogpost stating what they’re working on and trying to achieve. Recently PVE got a major blogpost about the future. But pvp only got a blogpost which was pretty much the same as reading the recent patchnotes. Can we please get some insight on what’s being worked on? We know that rewards are coming, but is that all? And if so, what can we expect?

I still want to see a decent reward overhaul tied in with the Automated Tournament system (from gw1). Tone down the rewards in hotjoin, increase them exponentially from solo to team to AT.

I think it will work itself out, soloq is fresh and people wanna play it. I suspect after a few more days people will split up the 2 more.
