Pug v Premade.
you’re in like one of the biggest pvp guilds known in gw2 and here you are whining, creating yet another premade qq thread that contributes nothing to the discussion. you could have spent the 5 minutes creating a guild party (even if not a full 5-man party) yet you decided to use those 5 minutes creating this thread.
hats of to you.

If you are referencing GASM, I haven’t been in that guild for months since the original guild leader left. Also not always easy to get people to PvP even if you are in a guild.
you say that full pug should never face full premades… but then that’s basically saying premades should be ready to stare at their screen (specifically screen exclusively in heart of the mist ) for at least 20-30 minutes before the game starts.
divvying up premades and pugs is only feasible for the pugs. for the premades, it’s death sentence. this is made a hundred times worse at high level pvp. the queue time is already atrociously long even in the current state.
another thing that should be mentioned is that already, only a small portion of the player base is queueing with a premade party. to add to that, it’s not like they’re guaranteed to win either. so really, it is a rare occurrence that one would lose to a team because they met a premade team. to prove this, arenanet started looking at the game history of the qq thread starters – and what do you know. their ‘stats’ were vastly exaggerated.

I’m not as upset about facing a premade, as I am about the team I faced. I know my MMR isn’t that high. And I don’t believe anyone else in my team was either.

you’re very right about the balance being off in matching opponents. Just yesterday, Darres was on the other team. My teammates seemed to know him and I found out after winning against his team that he was 6th on the ladder (now 4th, I believe)
but hey, you lose nothing by facing these high rated players, and you have everything to gain, right?
Our PvP Dev – Evan – will tell you that everything is fine and will probably spout some random stuff about how well designed and efficient their matchmaking algorithm is….
In a nutshell, he’ll tell you all is fine and balanced.
Sigh….
Faced a few premades last night with pugs queuing solo and pulled more wins than losses… Premade doesn’t mean they’ve hit the win switch ;-)
I don’t think I get sore about it from playing counterstrike for so long :-D
