Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’m just getting my feet wet in PvP and figured I’d go queue in ranked, seeing as how the game claims it puts players of comparable skill into a match. About a year ago I last played GW2 and attained the rank of Deer even though I’m quite terrible at it.

Now, it occurs to me that the people I play against are of ranks Tiger and Wolf, with some having the Champion Profession titles for winning a set amount of matches.

After a 10+ losing streak, I still encounter those people. How is this possible? How is it that someone who has won hundreds of matches gets put in the same match as someone who’s won 3 and is on a nasty losing streak? I can’t imagine that’s by design!

• match making doesn’t use ranks (deer, wabbits, etc), they use a hidden leaderboard rating value.

• match making will attempt to find 10 players with similar rating, if it fails it increases the range incrementally. Eventually after 5minutes it basically finds whoever is left….
