Guild Wars 2

I’ve read many devs state that they are apprehensive to change the matchmaking system as it would create longer que times. I don’t know about you guys, but my que times are pretty short. Usually, I wait only when I first que up for a few minutes. After that, If I que when my match ends, then I usually get a que right away. I’m assuming that this is because I’m playing with mostly the people who were in the match before me. If I delay, at all, then I only have to wait maybe 5 minutes. I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than 10 minutes for a match.

So, would you rather have a better matchmaking system and have longer que times, or keep the system as is so that there are short que times?

In my point of view the matchmaking is fine. I only play soloQ and around ~top 100 the games are always challenging if it is a 5vs5. I am a causal player and have only time for 1-3 games per day. Long que times are not good for me.

They should add a filter to the games. So you can set some preferences (maps, classes you play with…. ) but you have to wait longer. But for me. If I have 30min time I do not want to wait 20min to play one single game.

Well, I constantly run into matches that are 4 thievs vs, 4 mesmers. All ranged vs All melee, stuff like that. There’s also been many suggestions to try to have ranking limits so we don’t get rank 5s and 60’s in matches with a bunch of 30s and 40s. Stuff like that. But I don’t want this thread to turn into how matchmaking could be better; just a strait up, matchmaking improvement vs. que time increase.
