Guild Wars 2

I’m honestly interested in what people think about this:

Would you rather:

1. Wait 7 minutes to get a match where you have a 10% chance of winning it (matchmaking saying “screw it, it’s 3 AM” and throwing you into a bad match up)
2. Wait 14 minutes to get a match where you have a 50% chance of winning it (well put together match).

Basically, what’s more important to you? Livable queue times or playable matches? Would you be willing to literally double your queue times at non-peak hours to get better matches? What if the cut off time was closer to 14 minutes instead of 8 (which it seems to be) and it sometimes still would give lop sided matches?

I lean towards longer queue times personally. A bad match is basically just a longer queue time to me because eventually you get so far behind that you just quit trying.

That would be an easier question to answer for a lot of the playerbase if you weren’t forced into thumb twiddling while you wait in the mists for a queue. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on queue times.

Garuntee me the games will always be better, also my games have been a lot better than 10% chance to win even with the short q times. Definitely doesn’t seem worth it to me at all. I don’t get alot of time to play so when I do I’d prefer to go right in a match….. yet I am capable of having fun even while losing…. something the everyone gets a medal culture is not accustomed too.

I’d rather this in ranked.

And this in unranked.
