Guild Wars 2

Can u please change this so that new players can tell where they should be. I have been having the worst teams and when i speak to the players, they don’t realize they are in ranked. They tell me they just open the pvp tab and click compete. This is incredibly FRUSTRATING!!!! My win/loss is through the floor and i feel like ripping my hair out. seriously.

Well it’s not like you’re gonna get any practice in hotjoin either.

Or in practice. I rarely learn anything useful about my profession or build in hotjoin or practice. Reason being, these areas are mostly zergfests where people are more interested in exploiting team imbalance than playing to win. For dailies, I assume. When I find a hotjoin with two balanced teams and the game is close, I get so happy. But inevitably there’s someone in mapchat saying “give me the point, I need it for daily” or “red wins for daily” or something like that.

Unranked, or “Play” is completely appropriate for newbies, in my opinion. I mostly see the intent to win in unranked (on both sides) so at least it’s a real game that will give a newbie real experience playing PvP. But it doesn’t affect the leaderboard, so losing isn’t a huge deal compared to ranked.

That’s why you ask players who’ve nolifed on single professions to help you. You can also ask for experienced theorycrafters and they can explain things to you in detail.
