Configs have been updated. There should be less of a spread in ladder positions now.

Part of the reason this is happening is because this season matches on both MMR and ladder position. Someone could have a lower ladder position, but have a very high MMR. Since they have to sit around a long time waiting for close MMR players, their ladder search range is also increasing at the same time.

Thx for that, will put that to the test.

Wow. I just played 3 matches, and the divisions were exactly balanced! Thx for finally fixing it.

Matchmaking usually sucks whenever the buff is on.

Good to know.

Sekai.2987:

second time i get such a matchup , first time i lost 500-20 and now i won 500-100, the only diference is that in the first matchup i also had one amber guy in my team , this time i was the only scrub in the team

so do i have some kind of sick mmr or whats going on here

This one seems actually fine to me (if you forget the fact youre only sapphire against mostly higher ones and that way no fun for you) cause they have also a sapphire in their team.

There isnt enough q’ing at this hour so the system has to compensate. […]

While i know that this is not the prime time for pvp, considering how many players GW2 allegedly has, there should be enough even in highlevel play. Even in the lobby i see many rubis and diamonds waiting.

LOL this is ridicilous O_o

Were you playign at 6 am or something?

Thats why i explicitly said when i played, it was 1:30 p.m. This was not at a godforsaken hour.

Just… WTH is this Anet?
Some notes to this: This is not the first time this happens to me (but this is the worst example). Yes, i did lose a pip for this. No, i did not wait 15+ minutes for that, it was about 4 minutes. Yes, i already was on a losing streak. This was at about 1:30 p.m. on this Tuesday.

Why is it even possible that a full 5-man-team goes against a team with only randoms? Why is their no Teamqueue? GW2 is the only multiplayer game where ive experienced such bad matchmaking that it makes me want to punch the next person i meet in the face. There should be enough players even for highlevel play that this won’t happen.
