Guild Wars 2

Sad but so true. My team has stopped playing this week. We’ve been always struggling with having 5 players on, and could only play 1-3 times a week when we had everyone online. Playing solo in pug or free tpvp is the least fun one can have so that was not an alternative to simply logging out. Last two weeks we’ve been playing with another team with similar situation and we could finally play everyday, sadly u realize that u either roll over people in free tournies or get stomped in paid by best teams, cause u couldn’t practice so much.

At the moment there doesn’t exsist a point where u can have a fun in gw2 tpvp:
beginner – playing conquest 8v8, which is simply zerging
bit experienced – trying free tournies to get owned by ppl that played much more than you/teams farming tickets
average team – rolling over people in free tournies, and beeing rolled over in paids
great team – waiting in long queues in paid

what a pvp game needs is being able to have fun at any skill level, which is only doable with matchmaking/ranking.
- “free” tournies = solo/due queue only; matchmaking
- "paid tournies = full teams; matchmaking
not so sure about getting rid of 8v8 as u need some sort of unranked play still
getting xp from spvp would help quite a lot aswell

new map and private servers wont help, need a serious change in priorities

totally agree with the pvp side getting boring more and more. Most of the people i knew which are normally quite hardcore in this area, have already left the game or are simply “waiting it out”. No ranking/ladder leaves u just playing the same mode/maps all the evening w/o any sign of progression making it even more tedious and boring than it should.
In other games i would actually play even w/o the team and have fun in the modes provided. Here, playing random bgs is the least fun one can have.

combined glory gained by your team/5 = every1 from the team gets the same,
as they have all contributed to the win.

The problem is randoms will play paid tournaments, because they provide better rewards as stated and even if they loose they get a chest. Ppl always go for better rewards, so as long as they have the tickets they will be playing them, not much will change.
