My thoughts: …. It’s not dead. You are being overly dramatic. Why are you so salty?

Well, I keep getting paired with the same guys that goes afk over and over and over again after a 50 or 70 points difference before 200 points. Or with people that goes 1vs3 on mid over and over again instead of waiting for help or going decap far.

After 4.5 years of game, I can assure you this is the WORST season ever. Been playing PvP since beta and this is pointless…. my block list keeps growing every day with flamers and afkers and I keep seeing them in my matches and, most of the time, in my teams.

How am I supposed to carry these guys over? Another season stucked in gold because of guys like these, making my rating “establish” because the system thinks that I’m getting close to my real ladder position…

weak up , dude.

Anet has created that toxic environment that makes people salty. They promote class stacking with class daylies. There seem to be no resources to investigate player reports for afk or hacking. Matchmaking makes you feel it is unfair. There is no incentive to keep playing if you see your team looses. Its a joke that you get some reward progress for loosing a close match for a player who plays for the fun of PvP. Duo queue does not really work. Matchmaking gets worse the less players play. It seems the effort anet puts into PvP correlates with the amount of players in PvP. For a game it just feels bad that you loose more points than you can win per match. It makes you even more salty when you loose a match with the feeling you couldn’t do anything better to prevent the loss. In season 6 for me most of the matches where blowouts for one site or another. This is not only the fault of the matchmaker. It is also the system itself without any comeback mechanic but stupid overpowered/underpowered traits.

Season 5: Needed to be upper platinum to be in the top 250 EU
Season 6: Need to be upper gold to be in the top 250 EU

That’s without mentioning the lack of well known PvPers on the leaderboard at all, we have maybe 5 or 6 and that’s it.

People’s definition of what a dead game is, is vastly different than my own. Then again i’m a 90’s baby so i’m usually not very dramatic about things.

weak up? never!!

Nut up, dude!

I love it when a player goes to the forums to vent their losses

It’s even better when you dunk super hard on someone, watch their whole team quit, and then see their post pop up on the forum right away!

Like they literally alt-tabbed mid-match to kitten on the forums.

A week into the season you only needed gold last season too.

Ratings inflate during the season, gold division won’t be 250 by end of season.

lol. S1->S2->S3->S4->S5->S6 and 4 year~ wake up ~ man. The population decrease time by time. The game kill by power creep , raid , balance , design. Game is gone and drop a sentence – They are fail. I’m just sorry for MIKE and GW1. Anyway, He employment too many genius to break his game.

If you still have any hope for this game. I am so surprised.

If NCsoft cut this game suddenly. I am no surprised. We have wild star for reference.

its dead!3 matches and i am playing with the same ppl over and over again!matchmaking sucks…sometimes defference in mmr of players is 400-500

It is dead game. I don’t feel like playing it for the rewards we get. Ascended gear last season was good. Rewards are back to trash now. Why bother?

Anet need weak up, i still have hope with this game.

Population is the key, put it on priority one!
when you try to balance the game, skill, gold farm, if the result is lower the population, you failed, no matter how good it get balanced.

The current placement was a bit broke but still ok I guess?!?

Had 8 of 10 games wins where 3 games were near impossible to win.
1 loss due to double duo que high tier players vs 0 que 2 core players 1 afk druid.
1 loss due to bad team with better comp losing to enemy 0 support comp
1 game was a close win due to the fact I had multiple 1v2s 1v3s while my team was tryhard 3v1 ele mid point.

I guess with duo que partner should be easy to get those 10-0 placements.

Now the thing is I was legendary rank last season and got placed with 8 wins plat 1 which is kinda yeah weak as hell + the last placement was -49 (kitten ?)

This season overall seems not to be fun cuz you either can carry easy or have to fight top tier players without a good team. Overall I don’t know the season just started xD

I’m sure that it will be easy to get again into legendary as last season.

Wait atleast this month before complaining about the season or system.

Apparently people are leaving the game, because I see same players over and over again.

yeah, anet! wait what?

Welp i stopped week 2 of season 5 after 4 complete seasons because Anet took ranked Stronghold away. F that I’m not wasting time on crapquest maps where one simple minded dumb dumb can ruin the hard work i put in. Least i can carry baddies in stronghold.

LOL no you cant

I’m giving up on this mode entirely now, constant loosing by either lack of teamplay, communication from others, no map awarness or just getting knocked into mud in first 2 min of match, finishing with score <100 – 500.

No, thanks. I prefer my sanity and time.

I honestly felt most of my matches where pretty competitive.

Thread sounds like bronze problems.

Actually I started in silver 3, like last season, almost in gold. So?

My advice is you just go to meta battle in the link below. You don’t have to be any good to run the builds because lot them require you not even think about it! Good Luck!

https://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

On positive note if your player like me you make your own builds and play them. Play the game and even if you lose in pvp you still get rewarded with gold!

Another season stucked in gold because of guys like these, making my rating “establish” because the system thinks that I’m getting close to my real ladder position…

Translation:
Guys! Look over here! I am gold! Very gooood, right? I know, i know~~
~but I am even better than that, just you see. All these others around me are all stupid and don’t deserve to be my height. If I win I deserve it, if I lose it’s the kittene balance~

So the only legit post complaining about matchmaking can only be from bronze or silver players? Dude, come on.
It’s normal that I’m in this position, been playing this game non-stop since beta.
I’m sorry if my post seemed like I wanted to brag or something, it was not my intention at all. I just wanted to point out the terrible matchmaking this game currently has.

Btw, on the topic of playing with the same people over and over again… I’ve been playing these past few days with and versus a guy I have been reporting for idling and verbal abusing for a year now, maybe some of you guys know him, is that guy who always write: “bad team terribad, i’m afk”. He is well-known in ladder already, which speaks loudly about Arenanet’s report system.

Im just spamming skills getting kills here and then, still ended up in gold last season, probably will again at the end of this season too. I always fight the same people, over and over and over again(have i told you the definition of insanity?)

half the games are kinda close, with a 20-40 point difference. The rest are nearly 50-500 games. MM is terrible due to the low population. I play against people that are far above me or my team. Sometimes I play against people that are playing GW2 for the first day in their life. MM is deciding a huge amount of games from the start, which sucks. MM was better last season, probably because there were at least more people playing.

Im pretty sure MM would work pretty well, but you need enough players for it to work. Which at the moment, there aren’t. I do my 3 matches a day for the achiev, don’t care if i win or lose. I just do 3, and no more then 3.

That’s without mentioning the lack of well known PvPers on the leaderboard at all, we have maybe 5 or 6 and that’s it.

That is not because of lack of players, that is because a lot of legend/plat players from previous seasons landed in gold/silver this season (idk wth they did to placements, i personally have to grind out entire gold division this season, not that it is hard but it takes time). Give it couple weeks, it will be again 1900 for top 250.

As far as pvp in general goes, it is always same issue: pvp balance, wonky MM, lack of motivation to pvp etc. All of it could be fixed and could bring crowd to pvp again however it all requires resources and Anet has only so many which they reasonably directed at gem store/pve (the most profitable part) instead of pvp. PvP is just a feature on the box, to get extra bit of players that otherwise wouldn’t buy GW2, it will never get as much attention as pure pvp games like OW or LoL.
Surely, they could add another carrot for pve’ers but let’s be honest, do we really want horde of pve’ers in pvp that don’t care about matches and reduce overall quality of those like in last season (afking for ascended)?

All Is Vain: 2017 Edition

Bad developer choices (latest, removing sigils)
Awful amulet stat system in sPvP ( horrid build diversity, boring meta builds)
PVP formats limited to Stronghold, Conquest 5v5 and WVW Zergfest
