Guild Wars 2

You can find the ranks of these guys on the leaderboards, I found 2 of the opposition really quickly since they’re so high.

Cruuk = rank 28
Deathbringerjk = rank 124

I’m ranked 894.

They will always have higher chances of winning, simply because there is no one above rank 1, so they will ALWAYS get matched against players below themselves, and therefore will have pretty much 100% win rate. That’s cool and all, for those guys, but for us… yeh we are just slaughter meat. In order to rank up all you have to do is play and ta da !! Easy games, easy life !!

I have to ask myself, what does this game have to offer me, as someone who isn’t the greatest player.

1. I like to play ranked games, but it’s countered by a completely broken matching system.

2. I like to work towards something meaningful, this is simply non existent.

3. I like to play the build I find fun, and I am punished for doing so.

This game has nothing to offer me. I can’t justify spending any time on gw2 any-more.

Higher ranked players would much rather be pit against people of similar rank and skill, and like you said anet match making failed us all. I was so pumped for this game before it launched and coming to it from the fail that was Swtor, I was hoping to have my new pvp mmo for years to come. Yet with slow development, lack of incentive, and this match making from hell there is almost no reason to play. It’s a shame there is almost no better pvp out there at the moment for us.

I know how you feel brah. Don’t worry, they said they’re doing something about the matchmaking, and the rewards and achievements system, and new game modes, and the balancing stuff together with additional skills and stuff.

I’m still hoping although each and every patch just breaks my heart into more tiny pieces. Right now, they’re the size of a grain of salt.

Play PVP for the fun of it. Don’t take PVP seriously just yet until all promises are in-game (expect them around year 2015 or so) or you’ll be really depressed and disappointed and all. But you’ll have more fun using the troll fotm specs than playing what you want, really.

While I see your point when it comes to matching via leaderboard rank, however I’d venture to say if you’re in team tPvP, and everyone’s rank 40+ you should have a pretty good idea of what you’re doing by that point, so any loss from then on is, (not that you denied it) a skill factor, maybe try working to team comes/builds some? And just accept there will always be dream teams out there that 500 – <100 you once in a while, ANet can’t nerf their skill, and they have to fight SOMEONE. A group of 40s doesn’t sound like a bad matchfind if you ask me.
