Guild Wars 2

I am very happy with the server tag team WvW, mainly for the purpose of seeing different servers. It was therefore extremely disappointing to discover that the old glicko was kept, and not reset.

Anet, please consider this. Based on the TS3 chatter, a whole lot of players would have been happy in an uneven match if they could simply fight someone else for a change, at least for a little while until things shake out again.

I’m assuming because the server pairings are being beta tested and the system may change.
That being said I would love to see a winner goes up, loser drops down situation while the system is being tested. With the tiers cut in half this would really help show the population and coverage difference among the tiers and provide info on how they could set it up better for the next trial.

AFAIK it was supposed to reset, so maybe at the end of this “beta?” if this server linking truly makes it.

I suggest keeping Glicko and reset the scores each time there is a new linkage. This would also likely be a very easy change for them to put into place.

I am not specially “happy” to get ran over by much bigger server with their blobs. I mean, I am happy to see enemies, just not so many in one place without fair chance to fight them.

Very unbalanced matches are not much “fun” to either side.

With the server pairing, that should no longer be an issue. The whole idea is that there are not “much bigger” servers anymore.

Additionally, isn’t Glicko a 2-player rating system? Seems lopsided for a 3-“player” game. Plus it severely slows down any momentum in changing the WvW scene.
