Why is it that Maguuma can win the WvWvW matchup over and over, but receive negative rating on the leaderboards? Seems very backwards to me..

The mystery of glicko…

Dont know the math, but the lead server has to stomp the other 2 with progressively larger margins to continue gaining glicko.

This results in tier stagnation as tier rating will tend to converge within the tier as long as no one server is massively dominating.

The new matchup system should address this issue shortly.

You aren’t really competing against the other servers. You are competing against your score from the previous week. If you destroy your opponents one week, and don’t score as well the next week you will lose points even though you won the tier. If you consistently beat your score every week, then you will gain points regardless of how you did in your tier. The point system rewards consistency.

On servers full of people that move constantly, which will hopefully not be more chaotic with the new system.
