Guild Wars 2

Hello,

It’s beginning to pan out that the same guilds are continually battling each other, with some battles on to the 3rd or 4th week. This is a little dull and would like to make a suggestion to maybe mix the battles up a little. Other than the top tiers which should remain as is maybe the groups could be split into sets of 6 and each week a random draw is made to decide which 3 of the 6 will battle each other. This way there will be more variety in the battles and so players who are tiring of the same matchups may be encouraged to play more often and it could be that drawing a world four or five rankings above you in the table could inspire greater attendance. There may be a risk that some battles could become one-sided of course but I’d just like to see some different opposition.

That would be great I can only imagine my server Borlis Pass being matched up to Yak Bends and Maguuma…no but I agree some more frequent rotation would be awesome. I am hoping we drop to tier 6 then the battles will be even fought. I am laughing at Kaineng who are excited to go up a rank.

Are the deviation/volatility numbers posted rounded or truncated? I’m trying to write my own calculator and I’m getting numbers that are off by a couple points.

e: Also, any chance of getting these as a CSV for easier parsing?

e2: After checking with some other Glicko2 calculators, it seems as if my numbers are accurate and Millenium’s are off somewhere. So all’s good. CSV request stands, though.

I have made a prediction of the next two weeks as well (only NA tier 2-5 where all the action is), as what is most likely to happen.
Maguuma and Kaineng will skyrocket up their way to tier 1-2.

Bold prediction, JQ to T2 in 3 weeks.
Making T1 SoS, SoR, and BG.

I second the request for .csv formatting of the results, please.

ArenaNet, why do you update World vs World ranking every two weeks now? -.-"

Would it be possible to post a ratings evolution chart for all servers since the start of one week matches? Would be interesting information.
