Guild Wars 2

Been seeing this pattern for a long time. Even back when team and solo were separate. Some teams would only Q 4ppl. I only queued with a full team back then so I’m not aware of 4man Q advantages.

Maybe they just happen to have only 3 other friends they want to play with. Maybe they want an open spot so they can look for potential new guildies on their team.

If you think about it, if the three musketeers were to play together, it would have been a 4-man. I played all night in a 4-man, and I think it’s just the size of a standard group of friends.

Because you’ll get a random guy which will then lower your matchmaking score, giving you lower level randoms to fight against, making 4player teams the easiest way to farm pips.

I’m sure he knew about it, just not sure why he brought it up.

Anyhow, nothing to see here folks. Move along.

It’s subtle speculative exploitation. The algorithm hasn’t changed. You get a feeling of accomplishment when you stomp teams that shamelessly apply this cheap farming tactic with your team of pugs

I have mad respect for veteran pvpers that queue solo.

sadly “respect” is not being given by Anet and respect wont prevent people from tanking MMR or get us reward.

Not only do they disrespect soloQuers, but it looks as if they want them eliminated from Ranked.

Nope. I had my suspicions but was uncertain. Was in a team with a friend and 2 others I didn’t know. One of the guys said that we keep it strictly 4 man and that we both join their guild.

I only stayed for one match (won) because that same guy kept yelling on voice coms.

It was some annoying 15yr old with braces. So I said screw this squealing virgin. I made some crap up and left.

So wait, is it true teams are intentionally farming you if they are in an organized pvp guild and have one spot open?

When you aready get a huge advantage in the shape of better communication and coördination as a pre-made, might as well go all the way with stacking the advantages in your favor and farm some solo queue scrubs I guess
