Guild Wars 2

In non-US sport there is a thing called “Relegation”, which means that the bottom few teams get moved to the league below when the season ends and the same number of teams from the league below get “Promoted”.

I wonder if Arenanet have any plans to implement Promotion/Relegation so that servers who don’t deserve to be in a low league get moved up and those who get creamed get demoted.

As a player on a server which can usually hold it’s own during peak in Silver League, but lose every week because of Off-Peak PvD servers (we’re disenfranchised with the league as-it-stands), I can’t wait to get relegated to Bronze and pulverise the servers there.

Yes, this is the mentality the leagues need. I did read somewhere else your server were struggling in the silver league.

No, this would cause alternating repeat matchups for 7 weeks.

A better method is to use an accelerated swiss system into a regular swiss tournament setup.

No, the difference between the sports leagues and this…. The league structures aren’t correct to begin with. In NA at least, we need 1-3 by themselves and then 4-9 or 4-12 together.

Where as in our league the top side is out there by itself. Leaving 2-6 battling one another followed by 7-9.

Currently every server has at most 4 other servers that it can fight competitively with (I’m talking NA). As long as this is true Leagues are pointless.
