Guild Wars 2

Soo I just had this crazy idea of how Anet could make some money and probably lots of it. They should reintroduce solo queue and sell it in the gem store. I’d pay about 3,000 gems if I could be put on and against teams that are all solo players like myself. And also on these teams share the noobs, there’s plenty to go around. Stop stacking all the newbies and not so great players all on 1 team and all the better players on the other team, this feature should be included in the solo player only pack. Brilliant idea here, not only could you make money off it but you could give people fairer and happier matches and see less complaining

Don’t give them any ideas :P

I don’t think we have a large enough player pool to accommodate a split between solo and party queues. I think this is the reason they haven’t implemented it again.

What, I want them to make money and I want people to have fair happy matches, so I think it’s a good idea. And there’s always enough solo players to make all solo player matches, most people are solo players. So just sell people this option if they feel like buying it & if they don’t well then they have no reason to complain.

And at the rate ANET is going pretty soon there won’t be enough players for their current mixed Q system either i suspect.

Customers already get ripped off with cut content that is sold as DLC from games these days. Something as basic as a solo q for PvP shouldn’t be a paid option, it should be just a basic feature that you see in the game.

I wouldn’t support selling solo q in the gem store as there’s already enough bad business practices in the games industry as it is. It would split the PvP community up even more too, because not everyone would be willing to buy something that is already included in other games as a standard feature.

In PvP allowing preset teams to mix with single players can be a problem with mixed Q.

Teams can mean you are playing with friends, people you know.

You get guild teams that play together regularly using coms software such as Teamspeak. That gives them a huge advantage over solo players forming a team.

With solo players you end up in a ‘team’ who don’t know each other and may not have effective communication.

For even remotely fair gameplay you need random group and team options.

Which is why there should be seperate queues, but I’d never pay extra money for a solo q, as that’s something that should just be in the game.

If they actually managed to get people to part with their money for a basic feature like a solo q, then they’d start pushing for more things. The game really would become pay 2 win.
