Guild Wars 2

Came across blog and the dude nailed it as far as my issues with spvp S4. If nothing else we can all commiserate together.

I think the PiP system is total garbage, Anet created a grind system which isnt fun. Another frustrating point is they have a rating system for each of us and it changes after each match. How come we cant use that and simply reward players for playing?

A few issues i have with the post is his frustrations with the DH. He said he mained ranger and necro. In ESL play those 2 and rev are the counters to DH, if he cant win its a combination of him not being very good and the DH ability level. We can all agree DH is simply to play but the cap level for its ability is also lower then other classes.

Lastly he talking about being 50/50 in emerald, he is not a average player. I have 2 guild mates who dont PvP much but help us out with the Guild Trophys at the end of the season. We have placed in the top 25 once and top 100 the other 4-5 times with in the 3 seasons. They are both under level 50 for PvP level so they dont play often. We simply give them a build for thief/necro/ or another class and they have walked into sapphire this season. Once again the person believes they are average which this person is not which is ok but he rants about MM and 50% win rate which i agree with because this person sees themselves not moving after putting time into a the game. yet they complained about salty players which is ironic.

Yet i do agree the grind fest we know as PvP PiPs is horrible and i hope they do change it if they continue with more PvP seasons.

Think you might wanna re-read. Guy wasn’t complaining about DH. Commenting on the complaints they had seen. Which I think if you spend any time on the forums, you know there are alot. Personally wish people would shut up about DH and get on with learning how to play and work with teammates.

Uhm not sure how comparing guildies playing a season to guy who says playing a week to 50/50 Emerald works. Will be interesting to see if he posts any comments come end of the season about his results.

Discussion re: good, bad, average is moot I think until we have a ranking system that actually ranks the individual. As long as we are dependant on grind fest and team driven result in solo queue, how can any of us have any certainty regarding our ongoing performance?
