Good players? Do you have any idea how many terrible players are being carried right now to top divisions, just because they abused and tanked their MMR last season? Now the system consider them good and because of that they ride the win streak wave and think themselves some pvp gods. To be honest if they were that good like you said, they would not want to be carried artifficially by a fundamentally broken system. They would want competitive games, where they can show their skill and emerge from a game with the knowledge that they ACTUALLY earned it and fought hard for it. The fact that the so called “pros” – (and yes the "" is intensional) were completely alright with cleaving through groups of new players a long the way tells me they are way less skilled then they make themselves to be.
The fact that you come here and straight away claim you are a good player, because ‘good players like you EASILY rise to the top ranks.’ is enough to know you are in fact a bad player caught in a lucky win streak. Any system that privilages a certain group of people, while ignoring the rest is not a good system, but its a flawed system.
The only way this system would ever be fair and balanced is if Anet finally open their eyes and remove MMR all together from ranked and league MM. The system must only consider pip range and division standing when calculates a MM.
During this first week, since the league started I lost count how many times I’ve seen some “pro” claiming the system is good, because it carries easily the “good” players through the rank. How is that a good system? And how are those a good players if they need to be held by the hand and carried? Skilled players are supposed to be skilled, right? Why then the so-called pro players are so afraid of facing even matches from the start of the league? Why do they need a system to carry them to the -supposed- high division they belong to. Yes this is the words of most of this supposed skilled players. That they belong in a highest division. Then PROVE IT. Dont have a broken system carry you, but prove that you belong in high division, by facing equally skilled players, not a completely new one. Too afraid of the rude awakening that maybe you are not so good after all? Of course you are, because its such a better ego booster to cleave through hordes of new players and think yourself the best players in the world.
No matter what you believe or like, the system is flawed, its being proven to be flawed, and thats the rude awakening, which you and the others like you will face very soon, when you hit the lose streaks or the 1-2 hours long queues. Enjoy your “amazing” season!
thats quite a large post you’ve got there so ill only focus on its fundamental moment: opposite to the claims you made in your post there are actually very few players who say that the system is good, as it should be, since good players who are the minority are rewarded by the system and bad players which are the large and vocal majority are being encouraged to become better, but instead of improving they are complaining all over the forum and HotM map chat about losing

trashtalking good players on forum wont get you out of your loss streak, you should stop verbally abusing your team and read your skills and that should be enough to easily get to ruby
I am not in a lose streak because I can’t be bothered to play. You happy now ?
The algorithm is broken, it snowballs MMR. Everyone knows about it, and you pretend it’s the players, very quaint.
maybe if you followed my advice you would already start improving yourself instead of losing the time blaming the “algorithm” or MMR
Why I should follow the advise of someone who couldn’t figure out the algorithm is broken ?
you shouldnt really do anything what others tell you, i merely wanted to help, but one can be helped only if they want to be helped
There is nothing you can do to help. If you want to be helpful go read up on the algorithm, understand exactly how it works, and you will see why it’s basically a slot machine.
an algorithm decides for you how you will play and what will be your performance? i dont think so

To a point. The problem with the current season is there was no MMR lock for losing or preseason to properly implement it.
im not entirely sure whats “MMR lock” supposed to be. I have no idea how people still cant manage to rise with all these things implemented to help losers who rise through playing a lot of matches like extra points for ending a loss streak or extra points for win streaks
crossing tiers right now is so easy that ranked basically became a dye farm

Where were U hidding yesterday Lexi, we missed U.
And to Your information, moa is really hitting harder, mostly in power builds. But most people is so cofused whent they are turned that they don’t realize this.

Wow, nice so you have a good MMR, that puts you with other players with a good MMR, you will be up agains players who have the same MMR that could be vestry different to yours.once you start running into teams with an MMR of your level, you’ll probably start losing games more often.

Every word is a word with perverted meaning since language changes over time.
Not sure why its problem anyway.
this is not true and there is a ton of other words which perfectly fit the meaning they gave to the word “pip”
500 years ago english was totally different than now. Anyway, the game using “pip” is totally your problem. Not the game’s problem.
It is literally the least of concerns. In fact the majority of people were using pips themselves. Anet just follow that trend so people don’t get confused.
as someone else clarified in this thread it were Anet employees who started using that silly word to describe “ranked arena points” before it became an official word so it were players who started to follow the trend that Anet employees set
Alex Shadowdagger – Thief – Blacktide
I thought we’ve already established that its my opinion which many people share with me that this word is used inappropriately in the actual context which made me start this thread, and not the false assumption that i dont know the meaning of word “pip”
Nowhere have we established this, in fact, there are several quotes in this thread that point to the opposite. The fact that you still insist that pip is inappropriate in the context shows that you still don’t understand the word.
pardon me good sir but english is not my native language and here’s what i get from searching “pip” on google
Why would you have to google “pip” if you already knew what it meant?
i said that its a buzz word, a word with a perverted meaning and sense
No it isn’t.
how do any of these definitions fit to the purpose of word “pip” in guild wars 2?
Again, if you knew what pip meant, you’d know why these definitions fit.
… Because it looks to me like you had zero clue what pip actually meant.
even if we follow the false assumption of yours about my unawareness of meaning of the word “pip” i still stick to my opinion that its a silly word to describe ranked arena points

in a single class which can also instantly reset cooldowns or speed them up
Yeah, so, that’s now how f5 works? This has been explained to you before, but you keep repeating it and I’m mystified why you think everyone on the mesmer forum isn’t aware by now that you’re intentionally misunderstanding the ability.
It doesn’t “instantly reset skills” the way you keep implying. It allows you to use skills during a window, which then get reset. You have to plan ahead. AKA, you can’t use moa and whatever the heck else, then pop f5, and whoo they’re back!
No, you have to activate f5, then moa, then you get it back…except no one in their right minds uses Moa again after that. So all it does is cut Moa’s cd down to the 90s cd of f5 instead of its 180s original cd, and only if you did a long enough shatter (at least one illusion up, probably 2-3), and only if no one breaks your rift before you get the moa off.
As for the skill cooldowns, you do know that Chrono has ZERO usable damage and ZERO defensive traits, don’t you? 100% Alacrity as it is now = 25% cooldown reduction. That’s pretty cool, but it’s the only numbers boost we get from the line.
Chrono makes you squishier, and/or it makes you hit less hard (sometimes both, if you’re a condi going without Chaos).
Your entire complaint is founded on a misperception of what the class and spec get, and what the cost is for that. And you’ve had these things explained to you multiple times, and you’ve learned nothing for it.
What a troll.
hold on, so simply because you have to plan which skills you use in the next few seconds before you get free cd resets on them makes F5 bad? or difficult to use? that sounds about as difficult as pressing 5-2 with d/p thief

well considering that their game is already not quite taken seriously i can say that using silly words in the game’s “competitive mode” will make it even worse
Except it’s not a silly word, but whatever. Maybe it sounds silly in whatever your native language is, at this point I don’t even care.
I’m fairly confident that I learn and read more than the certain hypocritical crowd of grammar kittens that started to attack me out of nowhere here
Technically they were attacking your vocabulary, not your grammar. And I don’t really see how they’re being hypocrites either.
especially considering that i know my native language extremely well in addition to fluently speaking english
Not fluently enough to know a simple word like pip, apparently.
I thought we’ve already established that its my opinion which many people share with me that this word is used inappropriately in the actual context which made me start this thread, and not the false assumption that i dont know the meaning of word “pip”
and when given the completely new meaning that word admitedly is sounding pretty silly

Pyro…. I can’t believe the amount of stupid we’ve had lately on the Mesmer forum. Between the person thinking Open World PvE needs specialized builds and makes a “profit”, the person that thinks condi Mesmer is the best thing since sliced bread because one team ran it over the weekend, and now this guy. There must have been a convention were they passed out some of the good stuff and we weren’t called in on it.
On topic, condi Mesmer, to me, hasn’t been as good since they deleted clone death traits. Why? Because now our three most easily applied conditions are torment, bleed, and confusion. Unless you run dueling I don’t find bleeds to be worth it so that leaves torment and confusion. Both of which have received nerfs over the years. The most important one recently was the nerf to MtD so that the torment stacks we applied on shatter was 1 from 2. Which sucks. Now you’re essentially bursting someone and if they clear it, dogde, or invuln through it like you would a power shatter you’re screwed until you can set up another burst.
Which basically means the only reason for any team to take Mesmer now after quickness nerfs is portal. And it’s not strong if you can’t use it properly.
Well I will try to be as unbiased as popular, moa is the strongest elite in the game especially in a coordinated team based environment which the game should be balanced around anyways. That being said condi mes is great for ranked because it pub stomps the plebs really hard for two reasons. 1) They don’t know how to wait out confusion stacks when their condi clear is down, they have been groomed to think that more buttons=better results which is why condi mes can be incredibly satisfying to play; you just know blatantly when the guy is new/bad.
2) Most people in GW2 have been conditioned to think that the only ‘honorable’ (lmao) way of playing is through power damage, probably because condi is admittedly superior in wvw scenarios vs most things so the only players they feel deservingly and fairly beat them are those who do so through power builds. Because of this, they build their traits, sigils and such to be optimized vs power builds and then when a build comes along that PUNISHES them for their greedy build they decide to take it up on the forums instead of yielding to the fact that just mayyyybe that fire sigil or pulmonary impact wasn’t the best choice vs 2 reapers and a condi mes. I donno man I get kicks from watching a war pop berserker stance when 2 confusion is on him and then when i unload the cds and he drops ‘WOW CONDI OP’. Get checked seriously.
yep, the most powerful elite skill in the game coupled with the most powerful utility skill in the game (portal), in a single class which can also instantly reset cooldowns or speed them up, some great design ideas right there
also very nice piece of advice to “wait out” confusion stacks, whats next? “waiting out” torment stacks not moving from a spot? :^)
You know I would take you a lot more seriously if you weren’t a thief main for god’s sake XDDDDDDD; like I if I was on thief all day I would orgasm if people were stacking mesmers. And if you get moa’d as a thief, unless it is from stealth ofcourse you need to get yourself on DH my friend haha

guess what, eles have less base armor than thieves and the same base HP yet they are dozen times more tanky because of their 100% protection uptime + the damage mitigation from traits/skills and of course b/s heal amounts from various water attunement abilities
while boons and damage mitigation can be dealt with in some way, its just stupid when they simply heal up back to full hp just by rotating through water attunement because of amulets which give healing power

well, in some armies they use stars to define officer and/or soldier ranks, would it be correct if everyone started calling points you get for winning matches "stars?
Well no, they’re already called pips now, so it wouldn’t be correct; besides, they don’t look like stars and “pip” feels like a more generic term, so it works. But yeah, sure, Arenanet could have called them stars and it would have achieved the same thing, it’s still symbols representing numerical value.
I really don’t see what the issue is, except… you think pip sounds stupid. That’s your problem.
