Removed player rank from the PvP scoreboard
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Appropriate-Pairing
In other words …..They change it so ppl cant complain about it anymore so they dont have to fix it.
Plus, so we cant see their (anet ppl) rank and see how low it is (how low their investment in it is), showing just how much they care about pvp.
all is vain
Thanks for the link, did not know the thread existed.
Appropriate-Pairing is the name of the thread???
Oh the kitten irony.
It’s not actually so they don’t have to fix it. Its so people stop attacking players like a bunch of kitten animals. New players have a right to play the kitten game, it’s not their fault the MMR system sets up their team in such a way that made you lose a precious match. I’m sure they want to play with kittens far less than you want to play with noobs. Losing a match hurts your rating, getting attacked by other players over a kitten game is just sad. This change only affects you if you’re a starving buzzard.

Where’s your proof that Anet tags put little to no time or effort into the PvP?
Please and thanks.

Exactly.
It’s not ‘broken matchmaking’, it’s pvp having a tiny active population. No matchmaking can magically give equal games to everyone when the players aren’t there.
I don’t mind it being removed..
Low ranked bad players are going be bad, high ranked players still going to remain bad..
Now i just don’t have to facepalm at higher ranked players being just as bad as new players(surprising large amount of those actually).
MMR never had anything to do with player rank anyway and it would be stupid if it did.
And matchmaking with low population is going to fail anyway, perhaps a new reset and a ton of new players and lower starting rating would help though(maybe the new ladder they have been talking about will help?!)
Wouldn’t mind if you could see your own “elo/rating” though!
Take your time to learn proper keybinding, it’s worth the struggle

Problem is that this system matches you with whoever is available. It tries to minimize queuetimes even if that means creating awful matchups. Ive seen pvp rank 2s vs tournament level players who have more than 10.000 games played for example.
Its not the visibilty of pvp ranks that created a toxic atmosphere. It is the horrible matchmaking.
Id prefer a longer waiting time over instant pop + being matched with guys that need to be explained that you can weaponswap (and yes this is an actual example).

Why didn’t anet remove ranks shown pre patch? Now that all the pve players have to pvp, they have to please them. That tells me they didn’t care about pvp at all since launch until now.
If they want to remove ranks because they mean nothing, can we remove the scoreboard? That is even more meaningless than ranks shown. (except when it comes into 1/500 games of a tiebreaker)
