Guild Wars 2

In T4 last week we had Ehmry Bay, Maguuma, and Yak’s Bend.

Ehmry Bay faded off somewhere in the match and had placed last for 2 or 3 weeks prior. Where as Yak’s Bend and Maguuma were somewhat stable.

This week we have Dragonbrand, Maguuma, and Yak’s Bend. The match has been primarily even so far. Very close match up.

Now here is the issue…

Maguuma could place #1 and slip into Tier 5. Why? Because Ehmry Bay slips down a notch and blasts weaker opponents and gains a buttload of points in the rating.. Whereas even if Maguuma manages to finish first they could not do as well as expected by the crappy Glicko algorithm.

iirc Some server actually finished #1 and slid down before. That’s just not right.

So Anet… even those of us who love WvW despite culling and technical issues are getting slighted by a point system. It should be in your list of things to do. Providing even matches is way better than relying on an algorithm that works itself out while some servers go up for blasting their weak opponents, where as servers can go down for beating their tough opponents by narrow margins. Find something else to use.

Wrong subforum ? -_-

Wrong subforum ? -_-

Yes. I had the wrong tab up apparently.

Actually only Dragonbrand can win and still drop down. A win by around 8k or less would do it. Yeah the ranking system is broken, and should be adjusted.

Oh they can win and go up, if that happens, it means they were supposed to be in that tier in the first place. They would have to keep winning to maintain their position, or else drop down again, and possibly rise again, proving that particular server tier might just be
right for them.
