Guild Wars 2

Why can you meet people who have top 250 titles in gold division? Even if they are currently not in top 250 anymore, they should be hardcoded to only appear in high platin/legend matches, since they obviously do not belong in gold. It is quite silly if you get near instant queue pops but still have to play with people who are basically in a different league…

(This is based on EU where top 250 has never been below platin 2 yet, might be different for NA)

The difference between them and and average gold player is minimal. More and more good players leave every season and now it’s just a complete kittenshow. Platinum players play like bronze sometimes too.

A lot of former top players aren’t trying anymore and spend time in ranked playing fun builds over viable ones (NA). They got their titles and have no interest playing that seriously with the game in its current state.

But you can also notice a huge skill level difference between plat and gold (EU)

Yes I noticed it. Those top players usually go afk as soon as someone does something they do not like while bragging about their own skill in chat. They achieved their goals and do not care if they ruin it for others anymore

Pretty much. People playing easymode cheese tend to believe there’s still some integrity to the game and subsequently winning.

Game/professions need to be better-designed/balanced for people to keep caring, OP. There’s no incentive to try very hard in GW2’s competitive scene since from all angles it’s currently a joke and the best of the best are fully aware of this, so they spend their time either just having fun with it or being more productive elsewhere.

People who think they’re so hot right now, spending hours dueling in 1v1 servers.

That sounds like more fun and more competitive then Ranked actually.
