Guild Wars 2

I have a similar issue to the previous person. I earned the GWAMM title before beta for GW2, and I played GW2 a few months after release. I just noticed the issue that the GWAMM title was never there after coming back to playing GW2 again recently.

Problem: Teams need to have the same number of players in order to have a fair game in pvp. I don’t think anyone enjoys losing when they feel like they could not do anything other than just die in 2v3, 3v4, etc. type situations because they have 1 less player on their team the whole time.

Goal: Only allow players to join a game when it would keep teams on an equal number of players.

Proposal: So if a player wanted to join in on a 3v3, instead of making it a 3v4 they would be put into a “waitlist” for the game or a waitlist for all of the custom games. Each game that has an unequal number of players pulls from the waitlist in order to balance the number of players on each team.

Problems: This still doesn’t solve the problem with people that leave right away (maybe a debuff like in GW1 that keeps people from PvP’ing for a certain amount of time). The other problem is that it may increase queue times as well but it should not increase it dramatically unless people choose to only queue for a certain custom game.

Another perfectly fair option in my opinion would be that the teams can only have equal number of players, and when a player tries to join the match or switch teams they are put on a “waitlist” which will only allow them to join a team when both teams can have an equal number of players. That would be a huge start in my opinion and back in GW1 even in RA you didn’t have constant 3v4’s
