Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering if the match making system designed is deliberately slow to prevent the reward track “rewarding too fast” or to prevent “farming” – curious and my own opinion.

I don’t believe so, I’ve experienced extremely fast queues a few times, along the lines of 5-10 seconds max. However, I’ve also experienced 15-20 minute queues as well. Most of this is within Unranked, I generally only play ranked if i have a full party.

Can you give us some details?
What are you playing? Unranked or Ranked?
What time of day are you playing? Please include time zone….

Even though I doubt it, I do get the impression the system doesn’t instant matching. I had 5 unranked matches the other day. I had the same 3 enemies (they were a guild group) for 4 matches. Additionally another player was teammate/enemy for some of those games. That’s least same 5 players queuing yet still took around 3mins for each queue.

Edit: Aust Eastern time zone . Forgot what time of the day it was.

Ranked and only Ranked.

GMT +12 – doesn’t really bother me, though I have seen many forum posts regarding slow matches.
