Guild Wars 2

Shouldn’t have been pips in the first place. You win a game, you gain a pip, you lose a game, you lost all your progress. Why couldn’t they simply just make it simple and add points instead? In LoL you can win 30, lose 26, so you earned 4. This will keep on adding up until your mmr falls so low below your division, that you lose MORE than you win. And the only way to fix is to win a lot. /rant?

Because then the winners are the ones who played the most, not won the most.

We did that LAST leaderboard.

If you didn’t lose pips matches would last 20 seconds because one side would always throw a match, everyone would be diamond, and PvP would be far worse.

I never saw the incentive of an abusable system like that… I mean other than to abuse it.

Just look at the number of games people have played vs the time they have had to play them… either they have had extremely short games and not slept since the tournament has started or they are botting… please Anet, sort it out.
