Thats why we need good Custom Servers!
Listen just check out my post from 5 MONTHS AGO;
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/In-search-of-your-team/first#post559661
It seems to me like the game started on the wrong foot and the same issues are still valid today. The leaderboards mean nothing when 90% of the pvp playerbase has quit 5 months ago and the forum is full of unnecessary clutter.
There is no real interaction in the game. Heart of the mists should not be seperate for each server, instead they should of had districts like in GW1 where eu/u.s players are interchangeable and can join the district/s they desire.
There should be a way of people being able to see the pvp tab of somebody else even if its limited to party/guild.
Guilds for spvp should not count towards your pve guild limits as stated in the post.
Representation of a team should be included in a leaderboard so people will not only work for there own ranking but of a team aswell.
There still isn’t a way for new players to progress in spvp. There still isn’t new modes of spvp.
If anything playing tournaments is like a bonus level completely outside of the game and the current leaderboard makes me laugh, I especially feel bad for the people who limit themselves to play with only four people in the whole game for a spot on that leaderboard.
Not only has the the system turned players bad in terms of skill but of character, the community backing up spvp in this game could not have been hit harder since 5+ months ago.
Oh well the game had potential but we didnt make them enough money.

I agree changes should happen but it seems like the problems have been around a while just check out my post from a month ago this is the same problem it was then;
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/In-search-of-your-team/
I like the idea sata but I fear that free tourney teams who are not advanced will still end up que’ing for this advanced playmode where they are possibly rewarded more tickets? IMO the problem is more community based then ingame mechanics.
You can’t tell a persons skill in the game and there is no real way to even efficiently try out for new teams. Currently you only get rewarded for having found your team and those strong players but even that is bound to die out as its easy to lose interest in a game which doesn’t live up competitively and offer maximum interaction between the players.
Firstly I’d like to say I love SPvP tourneys. Currently rank 39 I have over 1K games played in tourneys with around the 75% win ratio.
I have been in only one team which disbanded more then a month ago before we even settled with a 5th player.
Finding a team in the server limited heart of the mists does not seem to be possible especially when the LFG tab doesn’t work, hot joins is definitely not a good place to find players as you cannot notice or recognize any skillful players when its just a massive zerg roaming the map like a weird episode of n.geographic. Using external sites is too much of a hassle.
Not having voice in game means any pug teams will lose 99% of the time to any team utilizing an external voice app.
A ranking system would help but what we need is a TEAM VENDOR, a place where you can enroll, try out be accepted or failed all times of day information availability is paramount. Maybe also give more power to team recognition like a team tag? that is separate from guild tags. A lot of teams are having to make new guilds for there 5 man team.
I believe steps have to be taken to bring the community together and like minded/able players find each other
Maybe I’m looking at it wrongly but as it stands I sub for some teams and then other times I cant do any tourneys because its not worth joining a random team where you can’t expand your skillset and you can’t improve other professions as you have no sync in the team which means any results you get from even trying out a new build isn’t reliable. Not one bit
I have also played ranger a whole lot and I have to agree there is something wrong. I guess its a mixture of things, having a pet constantly and without having to trait or use a skill to bring a pet along I suppose has affected the overall standing of the ranger. The trait line is not balanced build friendly it seems to force you to be a certain spec. And finally the skills on the bows seems uninteresting since usefulness of anything but crossfire on the shortbow for example can be argued for tourneys. In terms of combining combo fields and relevant skills with other classes; it just goes back to what I said about the limitations of the trait line.
BUT.. I have had really good fun with the one handed sword and evasion does work for me. In terms of damage the greatsword is also very viable. Maybe an ability for switching between 3 weapons could help ? maybe the ability to equip two types of bows with a third optional melee type weapon could make all the difference. Im not a good judge you tell me
Im happy to see Anet bringing some cool updates, in regards to the waiting times between rounds I think that would be great if it coincided with a trait template update to help changing builds between matches as currently I am having to go to the heart of the mists for resetting traits every round. Thanks Jon have a great day
P.S Three minutes is good as people need to talk strategy, scout the other team maybe and grab a drink or go bathroom between rounds especially if you live in a mansion it takes minimum 2 minutes to get to the bathroom on the 4th floor
