Guild Wars 2

Every single season starts with a series of complaint posts. For one person, the system is screwed up and they, being a decent player, are being paired with bad players, and that is a problem which has solutions. Most complaints I’ve seen are about the league system in place. Anet, you won’t be able to please anyone. Players are bitter and they’ll find any reason to complain. A lot of this stems from the fact that you never made any meaningful changes during the first year of leagues. This is not to say that you didn’t try. Unfortunately, people don’t appreciate effort. Someone will complain no matter what, and it’ll be in the same quantity of posts as we see now.

Even if you managed to make a flawless system, you’ll always see a series of posts about how flawed it is. Just like no matter how well you balance a profession, there will always be a bunch of players hopping onto the forums to QQ about how they’re always being nerfed and that being reduced from an OP state is somehow horrible for the game.

Everyone, Anet is trying. Show them some flippin’ appreciation, no matter how bad they’re changes are. They do want this game to improve, and if you always complain about how bad things are, you aren’t helping to encourage those improvements. I know some changes are awful, but overall, they try to redeem themselves. You could set up a PTR for select players (all with varying opinions to help cancel bias) so you can get the best idea of what changes do and do not work. It’s just an idea from myself. Other people have other ideas on what you could do to help improve the game.

To Anet: Listen to the community. Wisely consider changes. To the community: Try channeling the energy you spent on an unconstructive post (constructive ones are OK because they help to make change) to become better at the game, and maybe teach players too so there are just a tiny bit fewer bads out there. If you’re complaints don’t encourage useful change, then it’s wasted.

I know this is a complaint post about complaints, but if you got this far, thanks for reading. Agree or disagree, doesn’t matter to me. This post is just because I feel the need to point out what’s I’ve seen happen over the last year with leagues and forum threads.

And the reward for most pointless post ever goes to…?

Obviously people that lucked out in placement will be happy. People that didn’t won’t. That’s not even the point.

They designed a system that works for 5man premade groups and implemented it for solo and duo queues. Honestly…?

All ANet needs to do is lower the amount of players per a team if they don’t want to make another PvP game mode tailored to 3v3s or 2v2s Ranked. It’s easy to see that 5v5 in this format is a big mistake. Maybe even keep the 5v5 conquest for the people who do want to compete with 5 man pre mades. Give the other players their 2v2 or 3v3 PvP Ranked game mode.

There is a reason the successful dedicated PvP games, have more then just 5v5. Because 5v5 is only competitive with 5v5. Not 1,2,2 v 5 or 1,1,1,1,1 v 2,3, you get my drift. The demand for another game mode that’s not 5v5 in Ranked League is at hand.
