Guild Wars 2

In every second match last night, one person per map was rank 5 grouped with/against people who have played hundreds or thousands of tournaments. This happened in the top 300 rating range. In short, these matches ended 200 to 500 depending on who had the newbie on their team. While people were surprisingly civil about it, it was not a fun experience for anyone involved.

It’s great that new people are trying out spvp, but they should not have the option to queue for tournaments without understanding the basics. Most of the time, they don’t seem to read team chat or notice anything you draw on the mini map. They don’t even know where home point is, let alone any secondary objective.

TLDR: Can we please have the tournament tab grayed out for players below r20? Ideally, this needs to happen before you reset MMR on Tuesday. If not, I anticipate a lot of rage from whatever team is unlucky enough to have the most newbies.
