I noticed that Sea of Sorrows is playing against Maguuma for the second week in a row as is Yak’s Bend and Sanctum of Rall.

The way the system is currently set up, each server has a rating that changes based on the server’s performance. Servers are ranked based on their rating and that’s how tiers are determined. With this system, playing against the same servers twice in a row (or more) is likely and will become even more likely as the gap between server ratings widens.

My alternative is to simplify how matches are decided. The winner of the current match will move up a tier in their next match. The second place server will stay in their current tier. The third place server moves down a tier. With the exception of the top two servers and the bottom two servers, no server will face the same opponent twice in a row.

The entire system is 100% Pointless in a WvWvW system anyway.
All the ratings system does in WVW is promote bandwagoning, quiting, and needless chest thumping.
The WvW should be about the battles not some stupid score.
