Guild Wars 2

today I had one of those glorious pvp ranked matches again. One guy stood afk for a minute before he even started to play. the other three ran to mid point and died. 2 of them were afk after their second try to take mid. meanwhile the guy who was afk in the beginning of the match has abandoned us, so we lost the game with more than 400 point difference. this is sooo frustrating.

the divisions speak for themselves. 5 sapphires against a mix of lower divisions. how could we lose this and how did my teammates even make it to sapphire with that kind of “teamplay”. I blame the whole league system for this. without the possibility to derank in divisons and absolutely no impact by the dishonor system combined with terrible matchmaking ppl just dont care the least and ranked pvp gets completely unfun and uncompetitive.

and don’t give me this crap “find a pvp guild” or “just improve your skill” etc. there are many other games that have league systems and punishment mechanics that work just fine and keep the games fun without asking me to be the most invested best of the best.

You must have just got into sapphire to have emeralds. Glad I’m well clear of them now. But yeah, sapphire is full of fools.

I understand how you feel. I’m roughly half way through Sapphire now. Sometimes I get great games. Sometimes I get games (“dont go far” “home and mid only” etc etc) where you just know they are going to end badly (and they do). Its like their brains just checked out and went on vacation.

It’s bad to all DIVISION, including Legendary (at the end of season).

All GRINDING ranked system will get bad players that can GRIND wins and be Legendary if they put enough time into it.

It was not possible with the ranked system of 2014 or less.

I have 9k+ games and I assure you that many top 100 players are better than me and have played less games than me.

Ranked should be SKILL based but we got GRIND based ranked league system now.

Two emeralds and an amber with two sapphires beat five sapphires with that big of a score?! I say congrats on them for their massive upset.
