Will anet ever made a decent matchmaking system? 5 pugs going agaisnt premades every game is not fun.. losing 500-100 almost every match cause of premades and people on my team not wanting to listen..

Nope. Main problem being the PvP playerbase is way to small for the MMR to work properly. And how could Anet change that? By actually supporting PvP besides advertising it via their big tournament streams. But PvE is where they can get the most money, so don’t expect anything before HoT. Hell even after HoT PvP population will probably decrease rapidly cause of the lacking support. I will quit GW2 PvP for good if they don’t bring back Solo Q……

If you look into this forum, there is every single day a post about this. Matchmaking is broken, but also because of the comunity. We are to small. I dont want to wait longer than i do now, my average 8 minutes are simply enough.
Honestly, if there is an simple solution to fix this, give Anet the algorithm. It’s not that they are idiots. There are a lot of puplifications about stuff that can be used for matchmaking, but still there is no good solution. Starting at the point how the mmr is build. The system cannot judge how good you are as a player but only look at some significant statistics from the game and therefore change your mmr.
I also have problems with the current matchmaking, yes. But, and this is a big but, it will only change if we get more players into pvp. As long there are still only a few hundred active players, nothing will change.

And by the way, “not wanting to listen”, those players are aids, telling everybody what to do. And looking at many of my matches these are those "dont run far " players and stuff like “only play two points”, “why didnt you kill Svanir at beginning”. Typical beginner tactics. That is not how you win and not how you make a team work by comanding everybody what to do, unless you agreed about this. You also cannot get enough game information to tell ppl what todo without all of you beeing at the same ts.

Isn’t Anet introducing pvp leagues when HOT is out? Maybe that will help improve some things regarding the match making, especially with all the extra stuff leagues are supposed to bring.

I think one reason pvp may not be as popular is because of the skill required to play, that and lots of people usually only stick to WvW.

Those leages will have the same problem. Also I suspect that its easier to climb up by playing than by skill, thats what every gw2 ranking system worked like yet. If you want players only on your leage, you will have to wait for a very long time, or you fill the teams up with ppl higher and lower than you, than we basicaly got the same problem again.
I agree on the wvw part, i used to do a lot of wvw too. A lot of those players just focus on the group but fail if it comes down to less than 10 players.
