Guild Wars 2

Basically, it seems like the poll is saying that if we all tick yes in the poll, full teams won’t be allowed to play ranked queue and no separate queue would be made for them.

Unless there’s a hidden gun somewhere in Grouch’s pants, I don’t think this would be a good idea. Why is it a bad idea?

Reason No. 1:
ESL 5v5s are pretty much dead because no teams want to play without money on the line. Which also means smaller teams don’t even want to try out for ESL 5v5s (don’t ask me about the logic, it’s just the way it is). So basically, Ranked queue is the only place where newer teams are going to get ANY practice so not giving them their own queue and their own league is like stripping away the spine of your baby, how is it going to grow?

Reason No. 2:
Pro teams aren’t going to spar with newer teams. What are they going to gain? Another Vermillion? Pssh, please, that’s the last thing the top teams want, another team to challenge their top spot.

Reason No. 3:
Having the option to queue as a 5 man team (in their own queue separate from solos) DOES NOTHING to depreciate the experience of GW2 PvP. In fact it enhances the experience. I mean do I really need to go over this? You guys know this right? I don’t know what’s going on in the back end but it really boggles the mind as to why you may have chosen not to even think about Team Queues at all.

Keep in mind I’m basing all my presumptuousness on the phrasing used in the poll question. I seriously can’t even click yes or no on that poll until I know what we’re giving up to get a solo/duo queue.

I fixed that for you. This is the issue; a high percentage of players don’t wish to dedicate the time/effort/politicking that goes into getting on and being part of a team.

Teams have exploited solos enough that it is has boiled over.

Fixed it for myself. Check the post again now. I wasn’t talking about having the option to queue against solo players as a team, I was talking about separate Team Qs for teams who wish to jump on that.

You can find a premade literally by pressing the yes button after a match…

It is beyond easy. Stop being so reclusive and say hi to people.

……………what?

This post… smh

Remaking this post to be a bit less salty and condescending

I don’t feel this change is going to have any significant impact whatsoever. (Or atleast no significant POSITIVE impact)

At most its going to cause the people complaining about premades to swap to complaining about how x class is such a hard carry in solo que. They will find SOME way to convince themselves and anyone that is also struggling that its anything but there fault they lost x match. Never mind if they ENJOYED the match because obviously that doesn’t matter.

This is from a predominately solo que players perspective. I suppose thisl make it even easier for me to hit legend each season. I just hate that the few matches where things were changed up (when I got put against a premade) are gonna dissapear for the fifth season.

Monotony will kill this game far faster that matchmaking or premades.

Then you have the people that are outright lieing in order to stress there point. THAT annoys me.

As another point. When I hit legendx1 I was pretty much ready to stop playing. But I started playing with a couple friends who brought THEIR friends and before I new it I had hit legend x 4. Those games I probably simply wouldn’t have played. And since we stopped queing I have done less than a dozen games sense. Don’t underestimate the ability of a team to keep playing. Especially when that team has a goal. If suddenly that goal dissapears. Or even the ability to HAVE a team at all dissapears. I think a surprising number of people will find that they don’t really feel like it anymore.

I TRY to talk during pvp, everyone’s just mute, or has their chats disabled, I dunno.

LMAO if you are even considering comparing a pug “after match” premade by clicking yes, to a real premade.

This is just your personal perception. I almost exlusively solo or duo I feel like I might face a group of 3 or more 5-10% of the time at most. Would be nice if A-net would tell us the actual amount but they already did say most people solo or duo already. The moral to this story regardless is people will always make excuses for there poor performance.
