Guild Wars 2

PvP players have never had very much. Only recently have we started seeing any sort of real rewards that we can take to the rest of the game. With the weekend thing going on, where we’re all getting +500 rank points for wins, I’ve realized something: The reason why pvp players keep feeling like we lose is because rank points are inflating (increase the supply of rank points = inflation — similar to money inflation).

If my pvp play is supposed to be worth something, and rank points approximate my play time then my time played up to present day is worth way less than it is at this moment. I’ve heard bear is the new tiger for skilled player and this rank point inflation is why.

I’m not saying we should get a back pay in rank points … I don’t feel entitled to them. I just think everyone should know what’s happening.

Sober

We all know whats going on. Every pve player who joined the game and started pvp´ing after us, is going to reach our same rank with x10 less time played.

There goes the GG

You dont want ppl to move from hotjoins into tPvP and reduce the ques times ?
But in the same time we want maps to move to HJ ?
Funny…
(so designing any new map we will a waste of time and money ?)

You are absolutely kittened if you’re playing for a ‘rank’.

Play the game to be good at the game, screw fair weathers.

Rank finishers are a reward for PvP play, and a lot of people put a lot of time into the game to get that wolf or bear or whatever finisher.

Then theoretically you should be that much furtherm correct?

And since you’re ‘that much better’ at the game, it should be easier to win more often, correct?

No.
If you are better matchmaking puts you vs better teams. So you keep somewhere around a 50% win ratio only the top players got 60%

You win more often if you are better, or are you saying it doesn’t matter how good you are the matches are random?

@OP:

Wow, there will be people who complain about everything. Besides, why do you care so much about rank points. Ranks only mean that someone has either 1. played a lot or 2: abused the skyhammer exploit.

Like it or not, the leaderboards are the only way to determine how skillful someone is and they aren’t even that great at that.

Just enjoy the game

If you are matched all the time vs the same teams, you will win more. BUT matchmaking will put you vs better teams if you rise in the ladder. Unless you are one of the best teams, there will allways be better teams than yours.

Meaning: You loose as much as before, just vs better opponents.

Hope this makes it clear

There is btw. an other aspect. If you watch the top teams fighting in ESL, you will notice, that their matches lasts longer than the matches in the 80% area. Which results in less wins/time.

So if you want to farm rank, it is actually better to be bad.

I don’t see anything wrong with giving out extra points to the winners. It’s not like the base has increased. Its just the winning team. So you still have to win, it’s not just here’s extra rank points this weekend!

big deal. GL getting to rank 80 still.
