I’m just shaking my head right now. Ranked is a joke. It is rigged. It is exploitable. Playing ranked PvP is basically getting screwed out of your money at a casino. You’re playing with house money. That means, yup, the house always wins.

Honestly, I’m surprised that people are still playing. With 2v2, automated tournaments, the new HoTM and practice arena, why do people still even bother with ranked? Ranked means nothing. Leaderboard means nothing. The only people left are exploiters and newbies. Veterans have LEFT. Those trickle of vets still playing…let me tell you this…you’re not going to get anywhere.

With less and less people playing ranked, the matchmaking is just going to keep shuffling the same people. Guys, do yourself a favor. Quit. If you want to scratch that competitive itch or simply have some FUN there’s, unranked, tournaments, lobby arena, 2v2. If you don’t like any of those, WvW or find another game, because I guaran-kitten -tee that you’re guys are wasting your time in ranked. It. Is. A. Racket.

I think I saw a Guardian in my last Ranked game called “Im Here For Pips”.

I’m having fun in the current meta and did different really balanced matches. There’s few matches where you win or lose 100-500 but if you do your best there’s nothing to worry about. It’s only a game.

Play that sPvP don’t give you any real reward. Actually there’s the Ascended stuff and I’m glad that ANet finally made sPvP players able to obtain some endgame equipment (still if useless in sPvP). About the Gold, make few run of the easiest dungeons of this game will grant you more gold in 1 hour than an entire day in sPvP. but I’m here to have fun, not to make gold.

The only reason I have to play is have fun and in this meta I’m having fun.
If you’re not having fun, because there’s different things that make you ungry (like MM, unbalance or pugs), don’t be so heavy and think that it’s only a game.
Try to improve yourself and play your class at your best.
There’s not a real reward playing ranked unless if you farm pips to obtain ascended stuff.

I play to improve and have fun and there’s a lot of players that do the same.

Why I still bother? Dunno, guess I just enjoy pvp in general, and the league gives me a a bit of a goal, like the fairy wings

You’re playing with house money. That means, yup, the house always wins.

But playing with house money means you have nothing to lose, you can take big risks because you’re playing with the house’s money not your own. It means the casino has either given you money to play with, or you are so far ahead that you have nothing to lose. It’s the complete opposite of the house winning lol.

I’m enjoying ranked a lot. ~101 when I played earlier. Yea, you have to win 2:3 games to stay a float but so what, the combat is fun and challenging.

Add “United Chi” to your friends list or guild!

That’s only on the surface.

It doesn’t matter how good you are. The house always wins. You think the casino is going to let you keep winning all that money? The casino will go out of business! If you do miraculously walk away rich, the casino is just going to tilt the tables for the next sucker. Or…they’ll just send their muscle at you, break your legs and toss you in the river.

Keep winning ranked, what happens? Matchmaking eventually goes against you. Afkers, trolls, newbies, bribers, cheaters, duos, you name it. You keep fighting it, but losses keep piling up. So you keep dropping tiers. Ranked is nothing but LUCK.

Yeah the house might always win lol, but playing on house money isn’t at all what you said it was.

I’ve been having a great season. Middle of Platinum, still climbing. I have never been this high up before.

Just play your game and do your best every time.

I only login to pvp for my daily, since it is the fastest one to do, other than that is plain boring with brainless community. Hell, even Grim Dawn is way better than this MMO :O

that’s the sad part, gw2 has the best mechanics ive ever played for pvp. the combat system in my opinion is unparalleled. however the structure of the system is questionable. the community i never rate simply because its the same in all other games.
