The least you can do is lower the amount of time between the Seasons. I feel like a month between Seasons is an incredibly long time. I understand that you guys might need time for balancing and such but it seems like its something that can be worked around during the seasons instead of putting the seasons off completly for an entire Month +
Ranked is a much more enjoyable experience than Unranked. Unranked is the place you go to theorycraft, while Ranked is the place you’d go for competitive fun, and that’s what youre aiming for with Structured PvP Right? Competitive play, with your ESL And all that. You have probably noticed people taking breaks inbetween seasons just because unranked is not enjoyable for them.
Ranked gives something Unranked doesnt, not only is it rewards. But its a sense of accomplishment, teamwork and opposition. This sense of accomplishment is an incredibly vital part of a progressing game. It makes up so much of a players happiness to be able to jump into ranked, try their best to win and then feel good about themselves when they do because they’re moving further and further towards their goal. This does not happen in Unranked, there is no goal to push for. Most people like I myself tend to watch movies while playing Unranked because its so boring and tedious. Ranked encourages people to associate with eachother and to work together and rewards them for doing such and that is the greater feeling, is the feeling that youre doing something better and youre going somewhere while doing it.
Ranked is also the place to improve because you go up against equally matched players or sometimes even better players and that pushes you to learn more and that way you Improve, while Unrankeds mostly are pubstomps
So atleast, please try to lower the amount of time inbetween seasons and you’ll notice an incredibly large amount of the PvP Playerbase be happy and coming back faster. Because lets face it, most of the players that go to Structured PvP are there for the competitive aspect, most casual players go to WvW.

I’m not attacking you guys in any way or telling you that what youre doing is insignificant or bad towards the playerbase. But as for someone whos been playing games purely for PvP for 14 years now, I do feel like this would be the best route and I’m only here in an attempt to help you guys make an already amazing game, even better.

As for matchmaking, people need to stop complaining that Unranked matchmaking matches bad players against good player, to be honest. Theres not enough people playing SPvP In order fro them to balance and center matchmaking purely around Skill level, we would be in queue for hours. So take waht you get and wait for their improvements.

My god, when is whining going to stop, before ranked started we had unranked for almost 3 months!!! I agree with your post on ranks and all, but unranked can also be that competitve. And as it stand, unranked is more competitve than ranked, let’s mot forget the X VS X. Unless they fix it, ranked is just another hot join, imo.

And also disabling ranked after the patch is a GREAT IDEA. For the lie of me, I can’t seems to undertsand why most folks think people are going to take their game seriously after the patch? Such as not trying a build, or not bulls hiring diamond/ruby/saphiree/ emeralds trying to move up a rank/division. Everyone is assuming that their opponent trying a build in ranked is an impossibility.

Enabling ranked after a patch is a Bad Idea.

Its during Ranked season that the playerbase peak in popularity regarding SPvP. People was waiting for ranked since the release of the game. The number of players in SPvP Is dangerously low during off-season

Well, what about it is false?

True, besides the myriads of reason given above( trying build, gauging the next meta build for your class, etc..) don’t you think having the season enabled all year long would cheapen ranks?? The way I see it, ranked is ranked because you have to reach whatever division you think you belong in, under 2 months. So people try their best to get there. Once there, most people give up on ranks (I. E. Legebdary troll threads.)

I also ‘lol’ at your post. I mean we all know that ranked wasn’t competitive but it was still more competitive than playing matches with and against backpedaling norn-roleplayers who want to do their daily on the guild’s ‘pvp-day’. 9 out of 10 matches I face the same dumb people I would have faced in emerald/amber

We need ranked matches and a decent leaderboard that goes on off-season, which people are demanding since years.

I also really really liked the idea to introduce a 2v2 queue which is similar to the ‘random arena’ of gw1 – just in a 2v2 setting

I just happen to disagree with that assement. First, because most role players are pve er and second
, you being a core pvp players, the odds of being matched with or against a pve role playing players are pretty low. But why get lost in the details, Any system with a 5 vs 5 is deemed more competitve than 10 vs 1 5 vs 5 or 10 vs 1. I can always be wrong though…

As far a ladder, what Anet has to do is cap the number of legendary to 50.
