Guild Wars 2

Is it so hard to just have a simple system that works? No one would want to come 3rd and most would want to come first. This would, should lead to competitive fights right to the last day. Also it gives servers something to aim for.

It would also avoid uneven match ups. Lets face facts uneven match ups are not just awful for the server with less coverage but also for the server with better coverage.

Adding RNG has already proven to lead to what we feared, some awfully skewed match ups. Too many of the NA and EU match ups this week are going to be far to imbalanced.

The new system is going to lead to less activity in wvw, more guild transfers, more anger on the forums, more dissatisfaction.

Am I the only won who is confused when the solution to generating new match ups is so simple?

What do you have against RNG? Anet said than in few years with new system, tiers will be stabilized. Until then, well just be unhappy with game but dont stop playing because one day, one day it will come. /sarcasm

Can someone smarter then I explain why a simple system of 1st goes up 3rd goes down wouldn’t work? I’m really getting a sense of over complication here…

Every week will have a T1 server playing a T2 and T3 server, no matter what.. this pattern continues all the way down the ladder. IE T2 server will be playing a T3 and T4 server..

No one in T3 will want to win because they’ll get smashed by whatever monster from T1 loses and no one in T2 will want to win because they’ll get thrown in with 2 T1 monsters.

I’ve never seen a game that loved RNG more than GW2. We may as well go to the casino. At least there you have a chance at winning it big for all your frustration.

WULD matchup for this week

SOR – BG – TC
JQ – FA – MAG
DB – KN – SOS
YB – CD – EB
SBI – BP – DH
AR – SF – GoM
IOJ – DR – HOD
NSP – FC – ET

Looks a lot more balanced than currently.

Well if you use eu as an example, Elona should of gone up to t1 weeks before they actually did. Sfr and Deso should of dropped weeks before they actually did. Also RNG is likely to cause far more uneven match ups than what you have described as evidenced by this weeks match ups.
