Guild Wars 2

Just going to make my opinion clear, ascended farming is ruining ranked pvp for people who are actually trying to improve and climb. After keeping my calm after numerous losing streaks the amount of loot grinders are just alienating. Please either remove the ascended farming or just never ever bring back this kind of loot system. Anet, you are rewarding bad play and punishing good play.

When anyone can join ranked, you get terrible PvEers and WvWers, who have no idea how to play Conquest, joining PvP. Players who want to advance become hindered by these players. If these players weren’t interfering, we could truly see how well we do with and against real PvPers.

Improve the tutorial and increase the requirements to join ranked, Anet. This way you can keep this PvE gear in PvP. Or, you could just remove any gear related to PvE from PvP, like in the days of old (so I hear), and that way only PvEer’s who want the skin will join PvP. Still, you need to make it harder to join ranked so that players were are actually serious about the competition will be the ones who can join. Nobody wants to be on a team or against a team who doesn’t take competition seriously. If they want to play for fun, play unranked. But ranked is for serious players who try.

Players are actually being rewarded ascended gear when losing games. You should never be rewarded for bad play. If you lose, you shouldn’t be given a minimum number of pips. You should be given literally 0. And if you play well and gain important top stats, then I guess it’ll be fine enough then to reward them with a few pips. But players should have to try to play well for a reward, not just play without effort.

- Remove PvE from PvP, or remove it from ranked
- Improve Tutorial, and increase requirements to join ranked
- Remove pip gain from losses, but reward pips for top stats like it is now

These are my solutions. Others have other solutions. Pick the one that works the best, not the one that is easiest to implement.
