Guild Wars 2

I’m not one to vent on the forums, because I played casually and enjoyed the game, but suddenly I don’t anymore.

Tonight, I played five matches in a row against the same premade +r40 team with no chance of winning. Because I joined solo and got matched with 4 -r10 players every game, who played with the typical ‘hotjoin’ attitude of zerging point without defending them.

At this point, I’m very dissappointed. These are simple facts. I did not have this experience before the removal of tickets.

I realise there is a need to attract a larger playerbase into spvp, but at what cost?

Well said. They need to do something soon or they will the lose the small number of remaining sPvP’rs that they have left.

maybe you had jason borne covert ops second account r50 lurkin in your team and you didn’t realize how close you were to actually winning

Do not join tourney as solo in the evening, that is when most teams are playing. And yes, premade vs pug matchmaking is utter nonsense i pointed that out as soon as they announced it the way things are now solo queue players serve as cannon fodder for team queue players. Some of them even go as far as insulting pug players after the match, can you believe that fecal matter ?

I’ve tried for one more day, but it’s just not worth it.

I can’t believe what you’ve done to this game… I haven’t won a single match today, because the so-called meta has shifted from strategy to zerging and I refuse to play hotjoin in the tournament tab.

All the kitten talking in chat, general refusal to communicate, unpunished leavers and afkers, lack of skill and knowledge, joining tournaments to “test builds”, … matched up against premades.

It is actually working as intended. The devs stated on the last SOTG that they wanted to promote ppl playing together as teams. To that end, the implemented measures whereby high ranked teams would only face low rank pugs… almost assuredly guaranteeing the 5 man team a victory. The thought was simple – by guaranteeing victory to the 5 man team that que’ed.. we guarantee their fun (because winning is fun)…and that will then promote more ppl to play teams..because ppl want to have fun.
