Why would you allow premades in ranked during off season, now theres literally nothing to do because 5 premades are farming the ranked Q.

Every time I hear this type of complaint, I think of all the times I’ve crushed a 5 man with a few decent pugs, and shake my head.

Didn’t you get the memo? Ranked is for tryharding. If you just want to play for fun, go play in unranked.

It was in the code that Evan posted. In the method for “offseason” it showed 5 permitted to group.

I think this is a serious misjudgement. It is clearly intentional though.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz why does it even matter, it’s not for competition at the moment. L2 make friends, not being able to queue with more than 2 during season has been stupid.

I highly agree with you. However the problem is, that ANet kicked all but the most devouted decent PUGs out of GW2 with beyond bad match making over the course of a year. To replace them with PvEers for the most part couldn’t care less about winning or losing. Getting highly unbalanced matches game after game after game will do that to decent pugs. But yeah most times decent randoms can actually take out a pre made.

I maybe a troll with class.
But at least I admit it!

I was wondering this. Usually they close ranked. Can you still do legendary achievements?

I don’t agree. The day I started PvP I was there to win. Very few people enter a contest without some desire to win.

If by caring about winning you mean joining a team… well I’m not interested in that. I come to play GW2 not schoolyard politics in HoTM.

PvE ‘rs are the future PvP players. This dedicated community of PvP players that folks keep talking about attracting… Well it’s mainly a myth.

But the problem is that, people are winning huge PvE rewards for trolling actually now ex PvPers. Who was trying to win by AFKing, Idleing telling players “Lol I’m only here for the rewards.” Then you have the other troll who talk down on these PvPers who voice their opinions, with will if you can’t carry a winning streak in order get out of the lower league when most other players arn’t interested in anything other then near effortless Ascended gear, then you are a scrub and deserve to be there. LMAO

I’m sorry but from a player who has over 30 to 50 pieces of Ascended armor and weapons the through PvE content. It makes no sense for these items to be handed out in PvP for losing matches. The last thing ANet should be doing with it’s already risk adversed super casual community is to promote losing even farther.

However because ANet promoted PvEers to lose PvPers matches. And the PvPers had to pay for it with their progress. Many came to terms with the fact. That unless ANet’s mindset changes. There is no hope for a competitive scene in PvP in GW2. So in essence we’ve moved on.

Me personally have only been logging into GW2 now every so now and then to talk to old friends that are still playing the game. And most of them are even unhappy, but can’t be asked to grind in the normal MMOs. Which is understandable and is at the current moment GW2’s only saving grace for ANet.

Yes I agree at this point, PvEers are the only future that GW2’s PvP has. However ANet needs to motivate it’s PvEers to PvP for the right reasons instead of just farming matches win or lose without a care for PvE items.

Also again I can’t stress this enoth. ANet needs to take it’s forum punishment policies, and implement them in Ranked PvP matches. The mind set between ANet and other actually successful PvP eSports are polar opposites. Other MMOs and PvP game devs teams. Are more concern with punishing players for breaking, and cheating in there games, rather then a few disgruntle voicing their opinions on the forums.Looking at ZOS in ESO Those devs actually get kittented on 100 times more then ANet here. But instead of getting kitten about it and focus more on making their forums. They actually turned a kittenty at the start MMO and pulled a FFXIV with a 180 turn around. And now actually, as a player who plays both ESO and GW2, ESO has way more of a active population then GW2 now. Hell if ESO was even nearly as easy and casual as GW2. I’m sorry to say, GW2 would be in grave trouble right now. Smite devs got kittented on abit in Season 3. Instead of doing what Anet does to it’s consumers who are a bit disgruntled on the forums. Hi Rez actually listened and put in the meaningful effort to pump out patch after patch, till Season 4 released and boom addressed most peoples concern from prior months. Does this happens in GW2? IMHO no, and therefor yall are only lefted with the non competitive PvEers just spamming matches for super easy to get PvE gear. And the fanatical fanboys of the Guild Wars lore. Players who don’t fit into those two categories have moved on after one full year of total disregard.

I don’t blame ANet one bit. I blame myself for trying to be competitive in a PvE based MMORPG. That had no support for competitive PvP to begin with. The release of HoT’s power creep-ed elite spec in order to push sales, should have been enoth for me to see that.

This is a problem. There’s no point to having a ranked off-season unless it provides the same balanced matching that the season had.

Not only am I seeing large teams now, but I’m also seeing people of all skill levels.

All my ranked matches before had been fairly close, like 400-500. Now they are going back and forth between 50-500 and 500-50. There are players joining either my team, or the enemy’s, who are clearly at the bottom of bronze and nowhere near platinum level. Thieves who never dodge, they just walk up and auto attack with pistol. Turret engis, spirit weapon guardians, eles with summon weapons, and a lot of random running in circles.

Just close it because it’s identical to unranked, or put the balance back to what it was.
