Guild Wars 2

Was wondering how many days of afk from spvp does it take for the decay to turn on, and by how much per day?

Three days before it starts and -100 per day to a maximum of -700.

that seems pretty harsh.

you want only people with 10 lucky placement matches sitting in the top 25?

Actually it is the opposite of harsh

because NOTHING of it is permanent… you can just work it all off after 30 days with no real punishment

Needs to become 5-10 permanent per day in addition to the 100 decay that can be worked off

Should’ve mentioned it originally, but each game you play removes up to 100 decay. None of the decay is permanent as Orangensaft.7139 pointed out.

The decay system is pretty bad since it punishes people who play in bursts (especially weekend players), but it can be defeated by one game every 3 days. Decay should only affect the top, be based on games/week, and have a permanent component.

It doesn’t punish anyone. The decay only affects your leaderboard placement, not the actual skill rating used for matchmaking. If you’re not playing at least 1 game every 3 days, you don’t deserve to be on the leaderboard.

oh I didn’t know it was able to be worked off. then its weak. how does this sound: starts after 2 days, 50 per day up to 400 permanent.

Thanks for your help. c:

Why you trying to fix something that ain’t broken? 100 per day is fine after 3 days. Just wish it went all the way down to 0.

I also liked the idea of losing 5-10 rating per day permanently but that should only begin after 7 days maybe.
