how can players improve ?
you should write email to support
ask for more pvp dev funds
Well, first of all, I never go LFG’ing specifically for a tPvP group, unless I just played a match with some people and they want to party up with me. I just join solo roster and play, which, statistically speaking, should make your leaderboard ranking a bit more of an accurate indicator of your performance level.
Furthermore, if you want to improve your solo playstyle, then there are a variety of ways to do that. For example, as a thief, I theorycraft. A lot. I develop all of my builds from scratch; the only thing that I might take from other builds, occasionally, is an idea or two, here or there. Otherwise, when I’m not playing, I like to sit at my computer and punch in numbers into an Excel spreadsheet that I have developed for my thief. That being said, you don’t need to be a theorycrafter yourself. Just go to your profession-specific forum, and find a build that works for you. Then, try out other professions so that you know how to counter them.
As a final resort, you can always directly contact one of the top players in a given forum to ask them for advice on something. If you main a thief, for example, you could try to contact me (you could also try contacting one of a few others, but… They aren’t as often available as I am). If you main a mes, you could go contact Pyroatheist, Osicat, or Chaos Archangel. You get the idea.
Hope that helps.
By the way- with PuG (aka solo roster)- it’s certainly not impossible to win more than lose. Ever since I started getting into tPvP, my tournament record has been shooting upwards as I get continuously more wins than losses, mostly because I develop very tPvP-oriented thief builds, which give me the opportunity to perform all the functions that a team needs you to pull off. Also, prior to a PuG match, just make a very brief outline of a strategy, such as “ok, I’m going to go between the mid and far points”, and get all of your teammates to try and dedicate themselves to some two points as well. If nothing else, this at least gives them a feeling of dedication to the point(s) they are assigned, which is extremely helpful given that you probably don’t want 3 people capturing the near point when there aren’t any enemies within 3000 units of you.
To improve you must set goals. These could be personal or team for example.
An old personal goal for my was be able to kill the boss without taking damage in under 15 seconds. (pre-quickness nerf). Everyday I spent an hour practicing on the mists bosses until it was flawless and could be done in different combos.
Just an example.
I want to go up in the leaderboard but how can I do that when my guild team is playing only 2-3 times a week. When I play with them ofc we are winning but I want to play when ever I want, and with pug its like even if some1 is good its impossible to win more than lose.
Next thing even if I shouting: “lfg 4 turnamnet” no one want to come with me… Im r 39 so its not that bad…
So what I shuld do ?
Multi-guild.
When your team isn’t on work with other guilds like Academy of the Mists or GW2Esports that have a relatively high activity level of decently skilled players. There are a number of guilds like these that serve as community hubs for people looking for teams. You can use the player bases in these places to put together teams at your competency level relatively quickly and utilize their TS server to communicate in match.
Other than that you can go over to HotZerg and build up some friends to put together tPvP groups on a whim when you notice a group of them online.
Learn and play the other classes.

Agreed with Myrmidian, I can send you an invite if you are interested, otherwise get in the habit of saving names of good players on your team when you do solo-q (and win). Most people don’t mind partying with competent players. It’s always better to have some coordination than none!
