Guild Wars 2

I have been wondering the same thing. I just finished the final reward in PvP and now I am done. It is very sad how game after game the matching system puts me with others who do not know what PvP is. Granted I am NOT a master pvper but I started 3 or so years ago when I first got the game to pvp on my mesmer, now my rev. And I took many many hours to learn how to better my skill and my build. So much so I am very happy with it. How is it that the top tier players only have roughly 30 or so losses? Can it be that they are randomly selecting members? No. Why do I have to be part of a PVP guild or a PVP team to become a top tier? Why is it now, being in random groups you have little to NO chance of winning. Anet will put 2 mesmers, or necros on the same team. where the other team has 2 warriors or Dh? Is that balanced? Yes if the necros or mesmers are condi it could be considered balanced but most of the time its not. I truly question the legitimacy of the “pvp” in gw2. It seems like its ONLY for those who spend enough money, or time playing with people they have played before in order to win. Am I sour yes, am I upset yes. Because too many great players are losing their ranked points because they chose to pvp alone and not with a guild or a regular team. Even having a friend pvp with you doesn’t do kitten. Yesterday 4 losses in a row. Teamed up with people that are believed they were in unranked or the custom maps of “red team WINS” non sense. Even in the HOM, arena area. Non stop I have seen players best other players who are in “platinum or Legendary” Hell even I have done it myself several times. The whole pvp system is kittenty. Because rather learn a difficult class why not just sit there and spam one move on a character.. You know who you are. The pvp system is flawed and it sucks NOTHING is being done to make it FAIR. All I can say is this. Learn to just play for the rewards because if you try to care about your rank then you’ll rage and want to quit. That is where I am at right now with this god forsaken game. Learn a class, take the time to find a build and armor and weapons that work but it doesn’t matter because you will be beaten by other classes that call it “playing” by pressing 1 key. Like seriously.

Dear Anet,
You have LOST a loyal PVP’R because I guess it is too hard a kitten concept to grasp fairness and making things “equal.”

I agree i think they should have banned them :/

I don’t pvp because the match balancing system is terrible. I understand it is hard to balance teams but try to come up with something that would make matches fair. I don’t like getting upset during matches and I feel bad when I do but sometimes it is just ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to suffer loss after loss before I actually get a win with a decent team.
I don’t think they class “mechanics” are equal across the board. Why can a thief, ranger, etc. spam one skill, stealth, spam the same skill, stealth, stun, same skill; where other classes cannot? It seems like the skill recharge is different for each class. I don’t consider spamming a real show of pvp “skill” I do agree with Ziggityzog, it needs to be real pvp not hit, dodge, circle, circle, run, whatever.
Also they need to do something about these AFKs I understand disconnects happen, so why not replace that player with a new one? or not let the game count as bad to your overall rank score? I mean create an update where if a player dc it automatically brings another from the que and pushes out the “ready” time. Again there are many complaints about pvp, I found it fun about a year or so ago now its just I want the finish the final Reward in this year’s PvP.

Dear anet,
With the many current updates that has been brought to GW2 one is still being overlooked. PvP matching making que. Its still the most unbalanced system I have ever played on. Last time I check putting a team that consisted of nothing but necros, rangers, mesmers, against a team with a variety (example warrior, guard, mesmer, necro, element etc) isn’t a fair way to match people up. It is as though the system is designed to see certain teams or classes fail within the PvP community. Because of this I have found little to no joy playing in PvP as I did many months ago. If there is ONE fix that can happen to PvP is keeping each team structured. Btw placing individuals who are diamond or legendary rank against those that are emerald, sapphire, or amber isn’t fair either. Please get your stuff together Anet.
Yours truly
