Guild Wars 2

for example queueing as thief so my odds of getting more incompetent thieves on my team is much lower, however my intention is to swap to something else.

i haven’t done this yet because i just thought of it and i decided i’d better see if it is acceptable behavior before I do.

specifically, it refers to the profession balance factor of matchmaking combined with the fact that swapping is allowed (within the 1 min grace period)

I don’t know whether it is officially not allowed but it is essentially cheating the match making system so its probably frowned upon.

more to the point I don’t think you would want to bother because you cannot get a ‘win’ if you switch classes.

this is no longer true, which is why i am asking.

class swapping is allowed within the grace period.

That’s not true anymore. A grace period was added in the last patch which means you can disconnect/swap class without receiving a dishonor or loss if you don’t go over the duration of said period.

I don’t know where you got it in your head that logging as a thief means you wont get other thieves :>

inserts 30 full engi teams

great idea lol I’m gonna try it.

it makes it less likely does it not?

This is a pretty slick idea. Might be worth trying to fight class dailies because the game does try to limit duplicate classes. So the game would put 2 thieves onto your side with you being one off them and then you could switch to something else and it would be onl y one thief making a better mix on your team.

was originally 3 rangers on each team but they all went ranger for fun.

What happened to the final score though?

the team with 5 rangers lost. Rat meta quit like a minute in, but he quits every match he knows he is going to lose.

someone correct me if i´m wrong, but i think the proffesion is currently not includet in the matchmaking because you can swap at the start , i think i read somewhere where a dev said they are not even sure if they will implement it in the future anymore
