Guild Wars 2

Now that unranked queue is in, I have almost no desire to go into Ranked queue.

1. I can team up in unranked, just like ranked.
2. My team is more chilled in unranked because it doesn’t matter as much.
3. The matches come up WAY faster (literally 10x faster at some points based on average queue).

The only reason I hate unranked queue is right now is because I can’t use standard models. I don’t need to go over the reasons why I like standard models. We know them all. That’s why the option exists. But why doesn’t this option exist in Unranked? Common reasons are:

1. Unranked isn’t as hardcore – So what? Does that mean I should enjoy the game mode LESS because of that? It’s not on by default! It’s a player option!
2. I want you to see my pretty armor – I don’t care for your pretty armor, especially when it’s on an asura (refraining from using the word rat). Again, it’s my choice to have it on!
3. Armor is the prestige of this game – You can show it off to me in PvE, WvW, Hot Join and heart of the mists. Keep it out of my games. Not to mention, armor is hardly the prestige of this game anymore. There are very very very few armors in the game that are considered “Hard to get” and “Prestigious”.
4. It’s an incentive to play Ranked Queue – Leaderboards, fighting harder teams and better rewards is the reason to play ranked queue, not fair matches.

So, please. PLEASE. Can we have standard models in at least unranked queue?

you know that ranked and unranked are pretty much the same since ladders are frozen right?

^ Regardless, I think it’s an oversight that it’s not in unranked yet.

Ladders are but your MMR isn’t, so winning a ton of ranked now will push you up when the ladders arrive.

meh not really dat sure

It’s not the same, but they integrated the ranked MMR into unranked because unranked didn’t have any MMR yet.

Super off topic. Point is, Standard Models in Unranked Queue please. I have no interest in Ranked Queue.

anet plzzz

everyone is in HoTM anyways… i can see their pretty armor there…
