Guild Wars 2

Hello players and staff alike, was wondering about implementing a ranking system to PvP similar to ones that already exist in games like League of Legends, Starcraft, CS:GO and such. From Bronze to some Master level type thing.
Any opinions on having such a system and was it ever brought up as a possibility?

They promised, the implementation of such thing 2 years ago.

So, basically we can hope that the expansion brings it, even though beyond a vague and outdated promise, there has been no mention since. Sigh, to be expected I suppose.

hope dies last. the last 2 ladder betas almost killed it though…

Anet truly feels like they know how to do all things wrong possible, and then some, RIP

I’ve come to the conclusion that this subject will never be addressed. They have done everything possible to limit the amount of information a player can know about another player in regards to pvp.

Rankings as well as statistical information per match (ei: KDA Damage/Healing) promote a competitive environment. A-Net is actively going in the opposite direction. Casual competitions with a casual environment.

Guild Wars 2 has the highest potential of becoming an E-sport yet in 2 years the most that has changed since launch is the cash shop.

I share your sentiment Desyah, I see so much potential in the PvP aspect of GW2, and considering how much they failed in the PvE aspect you’d think that they would try to at least polish up and allow the competitive scene to grow within the game.
But instead, we get to the expansion without viable PvE and no Ranking system for PvP.
If they werent adding greatsword + scythe to Necromancer I honestly probably wouldn’t even bother with the expansion…

Great combat system, most balanced structured PvP in the industry, very solid map design… They pretty much have the possibility to monopolize this style of e-sport competition…

Yet here I am… with no reason to play the pvp for more then a couple weeks… Try to sink your teeth into this game and it just bottoms out.
