Guild Wars 2

I am getting very irritated as of late with the players in pvp, especially those that are on my team. I mean I do not claim to be super good, im probably not even good however I understand the mechanics of all the pvp maps. Here is an example of what I am complaining about. Just got done with Spirit Watch(the one were u run the orb to your spots). Instead of sending a person to two of the three objective points and leaving me behind to run the orb to which ever one is closest. They all decide lets fight in mid and lock down no zones. So in just a few min the other team basically rofl slapped us into oblivion to win the game(They ran orbs lol). So seriously if you are new to pvp go read a guide and stop embarrassing yourself as well as other players.

Thank you

the cap needs removing from hotjoin track progression, thats the only reason casual players are forced into the elitist shark pit of tournament matches.

noone likes it,
they don’t like getting raged at or getting stomped by meta clones,
and you don’t like them pulling down your progression and rating.

death to the hotjoin track cap!

whats a track cap?

As a step to avoid people easily farming in Custom Arenas, reward tracks only let you complete two out of the eight tiers per day if you only play Custom Arenas. Solo and Team Arena has no cap.

yeah, a tiny percentage of people will farm it like they’ve done with rank points in skyhammer, but should that ruin it for everyone else?

i play fun casual builds like p/p thief,
i don’t want to be forced into tournaments and noone will want to have a p/p thief dragging their rating down.

the cap punishes everyone.

people dont go tournament cause they r capped in hotjoin – lol

they go there cause you get more rankpoints per game or they go there cause its easy to find or they go there cause all hotjoin games full or they go there cause hard to find game in hotjoin browser with all this /20 games and no room to play

people joined tournaments before with no clue and they do it now – but now we have more players

simple

@ OP. Maybe instead of complaining about your team, get out of mid yourself and cap points instead of focusing on just running the orb? I would say try communicating with your team in /team chat as well in a way that doesn’t sound insulting or degrading, but surely you tried that as well before rushing to the forums to open up yet another thread on a topic that already exists.

Uh, yeah they do. A lot of them. They see they’ve stopped progressing in track, ask in HotM map, then go do solo queue.

I know I’m not good at pvp. I lack dexterity and reaction time to be good. Knowing this is why I’m absolutely terrified of trying SoloQ. I used to love GW1 random arenas, but I did ok (oddly enough). But here, like I said, I’m terrified to even try. I have relatively thick skin, but I do have limits.

I don’t mind doing hot joins. I’ve done several of those in the past, but with the daily cap on those for the reward tracks… they are just not as appealing. I have to agree with others that this cap should be removed. Then people can simply play, and progress in whichever fashion strikes their fancy.

@Shaogin To inform you I tried multiple times in multiple games to coordinate the team.
