Guild Wars 2

please bring back the 5 man queues this duo queue kitten is so annoying and the majority of the player base in platinum and under are only in pvp to grind PvE based rewards and titles that you’ve introduced…

a very small percentage of players in this game are competitive or even competent in solo/duo queue and it’s just a chore forcing 1-2 people to queue with complete strangers who generally have no clue what’s going on

i’m on and off with this game taking several month breaks in between whenever i play and i’ve managed to hit plat on two seperate accounts as well as getting a couple of legend titles showing how much of a joke those titles and badges really are

this game was better when I could queue ranked with 4 friends and find challenging matches against another 5 man or a stacked team of 2 duo’s, a duo and trio…etc. now i’m forced to queue with myself or a friend and deal with 3 people that i’d probably never want to meet or play with

Have you tried the tournament system at all? Everything you are asking for is right there in front of you.

If you want 5 man you should be prepared for it to be only 5 man queues. Im not saying that you would abuse 5 man to stomp solos but, dynamic wasnt balanced. If its forced 5 man it would be the most balanced it could be. And the most fun imo.

Ranked que only ofc.

Then again At’s woul lose their meaning then or not, idk.

AT’s are placed at certain times

It was more balanced than it is now.

Every time I look at the AT listing, there is never one that far off. They did a great job with the AT scheduling. That is where the actual competition is going to be, not ranked matches.

Anet won’t make ranked queue into 5v5 because then it would have to be a strict 5v5 queue. It’s not that the system wouldn’t work, it’s just that the majority of players aren’t really that in to PvP and prefer the solo queue method. And we can not bring back the mixed queue because that was a horrible idea from the start. Mixed queue never worked and it never will.

So since the population of actual pvp players that want 5v5 team battles is much smaller than the general population that want to just queue up and get some loot or burn some time, the solution was Automated Tournaments. Point is, if you want actual competition then Anet has given you that option. They actually did a decent job of pleasing both the solo queue only and team queue only crowds. If you are wanting a mixed queue though, then no. That’s not competitive, that’s just teams trying to farm randoms. There is enough match manipulation as is without throwing the mess of a mix queue in there.

Wow, the attitude the OP projects.

Let me remind you that a major reason matches are funky right now is a lack of population. That lack of population is the direct result of attitudes of this kind.

I once told our club Sail Commodore, “Sure it’s great that (sailor x ) wins every race. He’s really good. But, what good will that do when he’s run everyone else off?”
For the record, that class is no longer sailed at that club, for lack of interest.

You disparage the population that supports the game at your own peril.

and why is there a lack of player? i tell you why kitten balance in class types! kitten balance in build type Tanks V glass, cant do anything to damage a there bunker in this kitten meta.
Condi can’t do kitten against all these condi cleansing bunker build anymore, as Condi burst is dead thanks to sigil nerf.
Anet have total destroyed the balance of this game they have no idea what there doing anymore.

Bunker Meta is Cancer!

Bunker Meta is Cancer!

Condi/Burst META was just as equally cancerous.

Condi burst Meta was way more fun than this mind numbly boring crap we have now, Its like trying to fight a brick wall not fun!

So many people have left top tier PVP because there sick of this boring stale Bunker crap! a capture the flag game should not be mostly bunker based players, yes some bunker class but not every dam class.

the pvp population is small and casual and I don’t see why we can’t just queue as a five man with our friends and farm the rewards of ranked since farming ranked for gold is legit the only reason to play it over unranked. (minus the fact that queueing as a five for unranked takes a 4-7min queue)
