Guild Wars 2

I have no words more then Solo que is a joke. Atm u can get any players in ure game, experience (if ure lucky) or the more probably options, people that are new to the game. Well i dont mind that people are new to the game and need to learn. But why should Solo arena be the starting point for many. If this is gona be the case do as following. I know that rank doesnt say much about ure experience as u can farm that in Browser and just serge and aoe. But it tells something, time spent in pvp. hopfully u spent the time learning something.

So this is my offer.

Make the following rules for pvp solo arena formost.

rank 1-10 in their own, 20-30 in their own, 30-40 etc etc etc…

Pleace…. because its bugging me that solo arena is that random that u accualy can get anyone that has 0 experience in ure team. And in this case fails to deliver any team play what so ever.

Pleace… i beg u whit my life… fix this.

and then wait 2hrs for a queue to pop but its a 3v4 cuz people got tired waiting with the already low active population.

@OP:

I disagree with your proposal. Ranks should be no part of it. I want to see a true ladder where people play others who have similar skill. I do not want to see people who have played 15 games to be at the top of a ladder. I also do not want to see a level 46 skyhammer farmer at the top of the ladder.

People need to be matched with others who have similar skill.

The biggest problem is the matchmaking system:
In theory, you are groupped with people that have similar MMR (so ladder position) to you. This is the theory.
So, where is the problem? Simple: this is a team game, so a ladder based on single player is extremly useless and non-sense because if you are lucky at the start, you win easy a lot of game and climb ladder easily, if you are unlucky with 4vs5 or bad player, you will stay out of ladder forever, also if you are a good player. REMEMBER: THE IMPACT OF A GOOD PLAYER IN A MATCH IS ONLY THE 10%.

IMHO, soloQ is the old Random Arena of GW1, so no ladder system is required.
TeamQ could be very nice, but ladder is still non-sense. We have to evalutate the team(maybe guilds or registered team) not the single player.

If Anet wanna create a single player ladder, so let us 1vs1 or somenthing like Hero Battle in GW1.

That’s all.

SoloQ matchmaking definitely has room for improvement. As I highly doubt that it is a coding issue, one wonders why nothing is changed.

Maybe Anet doesn’t see it as an issue or the amount of players doing soloQ doesn’t allow for a rank grouping as the queue time for a game would drastically increase.

At least a very rough separation of ranks might help, e.g. <rank 20 and >rank20.

At rank 20 you will most likely still get owned by high-rank players, but I think it would improve the overall gaming quality for soloQ and keep more new players engaged in pvp.

On a side note: The ladder system also desperately needs a rework.
