What does competitive have to do with it? Are you suggesting there are more professional GvG teams then PvP teams?
I do not understand your obsession with competitive teams. If there is not enough average players who can enjoy it, then there is no community. If there is no community, then there are no players supporting purchases in the gem store from that community.
You also push posters away from your cause, when you mock guild teams, and suggest anyone who is not competitive enough to be in the big tournaments doesn’t count.
there is no “casual gvg”. Its called WvW and its pretty kitten popular to me… i dont understand your obsession of making stupid questions :x
Other then the same 100 posters cross posting complaints on this topic, do any of you have any actual facts to support the idea that there are a few thousand players interested in GvG?
By all means, I am not against the idea at all, but I have seen little, to no evidence that there is a large enough player base interested, to justify devoting the manpower to it.
nah GvG is really small now since its been completely ignored for 3 years. When GvG was in its prime i could say it was 3x-4x more popular then spvp for example (on wvw scale)
So I guess my question then, is do you have any evidence of that? Personally, my experience suggest it never even remotely came close to that of sPvP. I also feel comments made in various dev post support that.
Tens and tens of guilds? everyone with 15-40 active roster sizes. What spvp has? 2-3 teams per region and few pugs that keep rotating the same players over and over.
All I know is that you can look through the PvP matches and see hundreds and hundreds of players occupying maps in off peak hours at times.
I have never seen more then 100 players in any area trying to GvG, even in peak hours. As to your statement about 2-3 teams in PvP per region, are you referring to so called pro teams? There are plenty of none advertised tournaments that occur all the time. My guild has 10 teams alone, that practice together, and some times we do intra-guild tournaments. So I am curious how you can stand by a claim that only 2-3 premade teams exist in a region.
haha your funny… ofc im speaking of competitive side, i could call myself a team if i wanted to…

If we get rid of hotjoin and get people to do ques, we’ll have actual match making.
why should we get rid of hot joins? they are for fun, sometimes you know you have 5 mins and you want to just jump in… if they would go unranked arena, they would waste 2+ mins in queue and left the match after another 3 mins leaving their team in 4, this is really what would you like to see? I don’t…
who seriously logs in for 5 minutes to play pvp? time to get realistic.
fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten. fix this kitten.
every time i go to a pvp match (around prime time) i recognize most of the names and its like 2-4 different groups rotating around each other… dont think theres even 100 playing simultaneously, if u dont count custom games ofcourse… the real pvp train left during the first few months of the game.
are they gonna ever fix this? its beyond ridicilous how kitten the servers are atm… game is literally unplayable spamming Error Code: 42:0:9001:4409:101 when trying to login and when u finally get ingame after 1000th try u get 10 second skill delay… and please stop this “call yous ISP” crap because its obvious that the problem somewhere else… can we start having refunds even after 2 years because its so kitten sad that u cannot play during evening because of this… i can understand 1 week of this because of something went wrong but its been months and still counting…
old system was way better… it just needed little tweaks on the decay system. this current system is for premades who farm pugs 20 hours each day (current top leaderboard…).
Lol honestly I don’t understand the issue with solo vs team. Have any of you ever played a pick up game? Sometimes the people there form teams but you still play even if you don’t know everyone on your team. You get time before a match to make a plan.
and you havent played pvp for very long or you are not very good at it.
majority of my games have been pugs vs full or 4 man premades so far. who ever wanted that premades get to fight pugs? that idea is just horrible… shorter queues yes but pvp pretty much destroyed…
Majority of your unranked games (non ranked). Be specific. Less people Q unranked and so it is more unbalanced. Only about 20% of the time does this happen to the average player. Maybe even less. People also don’t consider the fact that the other people on your team could be Q’ed together…just because you are solo, it doesn’t mean everyone else on your team is too. Just because they don’t all have the same guild name, does not mean they are not together. People have friends in game that are not in their guild. Only 50% of teams I go against are in same guild or at least reping the same guild a the time; but are still Q’ed together.
i know most of the players that i have faced (in premades). i guess im just unlucky when i face the same premade 5 times in a row …
majority of my ranked games have been pugs vs full or 4 man premades so far. who ever wanted that premades get to fight pugs? that idea is just horrible… shorter queues yes but pvp pretty much destroyed…
E: majority of my ranked games (to specify sorry…)
this current system is complete fail when u keep facing premades as solo player… leaderboard is meaningless when people have 99% win ratio when they keep farming pugs as a premade. stop trying to force people in groups its not gonna happen…
whats the point even making a team when you just keep facing pugs anyway???
bring back solo queue…
TLDR; current pvp sucks. (and yes i think this is pretty fair critic for the current state of game…)
can you also check my match ups… about 80% of my matches is matched with complete newbies. i use to be solid top 50-100 in solo queue and now im getting hot join quality teams (with and against)…
WTB public test servers 50k each – pvp is broken.
why is there beta in live game :*( 6 or 7 games with 4v5 or 3v5 because people cant rejoin when they dc.
Is the game better now with the removal of separate solo and team queue? I dont know a single player ingame that actually wanted queues to be like they are at the moment.
I agree 100%. Current players u get are totally unknown to me which is complete opposite to what it used to be. You can clearly see from their builds and gameplay that they are complete noobs in pvp. If it stays like this i feel like just quiting the game since its a waste of time when u are with / against people like this.
Keep casuals / hot-joiners in hot join or unranked and let the more hardcore people have their fun too Speaking of solo queue ofc.
Wasn’t the old system what players were always looking for? Anet please take a look at other games with succesful matchmaking systems and take note of them…
What i would suggest is to add duo queue into solo queue and bring back old team queue. Its ridiculous that solo players will pretty much have immediately disadvantage due to unfair teams. Also having solo queue will add more competition to casual players and thats what u need really…
Alot people are asking for old prices on transfers since theres no more league. Are they gonna stay this high or will they go back to normal??? official reply plz.
hilarious.
Speaking of solo queue ofc.
irony?
