The simple truth of the matter is; I have played with the same several people over the past 10 to 15 years, across many games, and they have recently looked at GW2 and thought “we cannot actually play as a 5 stack team, so why would we play GW?”. To which I have no response.
Only being able to queue as a two stack is the best part of pointless, I thought GW2 was supposed to be an MMO? And if the developers cannot make the game work with 3v3 or 5v5, perhaps they should stop advertising it as an MMO…
You can’t stack as a pre-made because it was blatantly abused. It pleases the 5 and kittens off the 100 solo’s that they farm in an evening.
I don’t see any problem here, nothing is stoping the solos from forming there own group, also nothing is to say that group of 5 people are good enough to destroy every match that night.
I really think Anet giving in on this was a mistake every competitive game ever allows this regardless of tears there’s a reason for that. And how do you blatantly abuse winning a match fair and square? This community is the reason why Anet doesn’t wanna bothering balancing half of you guys are entitled children expecting everything should be equal in a natural unequal system.
Get rid of this notion that everybody wins if you want that goto PvE keep that out of PvP
That’s a nice post.
Given the current state, is in Arena Net’s best interest to not kitten off the many to please the few. I mean Arena Net has been trying to please the few and that led to the disaster we called the gw2 competitive scene.
It only took them 5 years to give up on that few.
The point being, your argument of saying kitten the majority is not going to convince arena net to see your side. Especially since your side is a very small and insignificant part of the population. Arena Net has decided given their actions to please the well rounded player i.e someone who does PvP, PvE and WvW versus the exclusive PvPer. It is for this reason why legendary armor was introduced even though PvP only players have no need.
You are better off finding a game that caters to your needs than expect a 5 year old game with a dead competitive scene and a mainly PvE crowd to cater to your needs.
Look at all the complainers who said teams ruin everything. Now teams are gone yet many of them are still bronze/silver, so I don’t see what changed except PvP lost much of its dedicated players and streamers which hurts both the game and the company that owns it.
Premades were a problem in the early seasons, I agree, but later on they just became a scapegoat for bad people to blame their losses on.
Don’t think in all black and white. Many of you fall into the “premades are esport tryhards! esport bad! we purge!” train of thought. Teaming up is an important part of community building.
I met so many friends just playing in a duo/trio, then picking up good players and working out way up to a full party. That is no longer a thing. If you duo with someone, you’re full and the only otion is to wait a couple of hours, try to get 3 randoms in, and if we lose the first round then we either come back next time or most likely, never.
Eversince that change my friendlist is just dead. ATs are nice, but the steps should be solo → semi-premade → premade practice → tournaments. With the missing steps this system already failed.
I thought this was a MULTIPLAYER game, but apparently having fun and makng friends should be illegal. We should just farm some open world PvE map spamming autoattacks not saying a word like mindless drones? Is that your vision of a better game?
