The should do week long events in WvW,

No AC week,
No Cata week,
No Treb week,

Siege is the bane of WvW its actually gotten really boring to watch an enemy zerg run away just so they can see who can get on the AC first.

WvW does seem a bit more quieter lately. Could be the matchup I’m currently in that isn’t very fun at all, but seems a bit lower on the numbers.

Anecdotally my impresssion is that the player base is declining every day.

Well I don’t know what servers you both play on, but on the one im on, ive watched commanders from my home world berate and belittle players from the linked server, commanders refusing to tag up, because they don’t like x y z, just the other day there was a commander on EBG who outright said to the group following him, " f*** o** this is a training raid" yes a training raid with 8 people in EBG against the zerg of 50, good game.

I have watched this progressively get worse over the last few weeks to the point where the numbers on the map are getting smaller and smaller, then the players/guilds who berated/belittled the players are then crying they cant get numbers on fight the enemy,

Anet may have neglected WvW for the most part, but its not all them, the players themselves are a big reason why people are leaving.

New mastery is fantastic, I would love to see this used in future updates / even the HoT maps.

The new map ( after the lighting fix ) looks amazing, really good job.

My only concern here is, after the story and map exploration what is there to do on the map, the loot is next to nothing / poor, when you compare the new map to the likes of Bitterfrost/Lake Doric, I would say in a couple of weeks the new map will be empty, as there really isn’t anything to keep you coming back,

The events are few and far between, also you are heavily punished for clearing the destroyer events that spawn the 2 legendary bosses, as you are so far away from them, you either WP north and work you way to them, or try and navigate your way to them, which is no easy feat in itself, compared to other maps where you are able to get to the final boss fights fairly fast.

I just want to say the new map is great, I personally love it, the size and depth of this map will take some time to get use to but the level of detail and time it must have taken to make this is truly impressive,

Some parts of the map are hard to get to, esp for events, so not sure how that will play out long term,

My only issue is the current bug ingame with the lighting is really really noticeable on this new map, and can nearly make parts of it unplayable, hopefully we will see a fix for that soon.

This graphics problem really needs a fix fast now, the new map is nearly unplayable for me, with it being dark nearly everywhere I go, and only when I turn the camera I get the proper light, they it goes as soon as I try to move.

Legendary Armor preview bug

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

If you are using 2 weapons ( IE, axe/warhorn, dagger/dagger etc )

When you set the preview to Wielded it will only use 1 weapon ( the primary one ) the offhand will stay, this causes clipping issues etc,

I was able to replicate this glitch on both my Druid and Necro.

Engineer Farm in Lake Doric

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

I have found that the DR kicks in way to fast in Lake Doric for this type of farm to be of any real use, I personally find my drop rates in LD going down to near nothing after about 20-30 mins, I don’t know how some people are saying they farmed it for hours?

I find it strange that some people seem to get loot from 1 map even after farming it for hours, and others get nothing after 20 mins, seems DR doesn’t affect everyone the same.

Thats simple. Because everyone knows diminishing returns only effect events, not mobs.

Don’t talk about the concept when you don’t appear to understand it fully.

Diminishing returns only applies to events. Not individual mob kills.

It appears you are the one who does not understand it fully.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Diminishing_returns

Incase you do not wish to read it

*Basic mechanics

The more often a character loots from similar foes within an area, the more quickly DR triggers.
Once triggered, the impact of DR will increase until you won’t get any loot at all anymore.*

I will look into the /bug then and report it where I see it, but they could be getting bug reports every 10 minutes,

Some really noticeable places

Silverwastes when fighting the Vinewrath, the final room is BLACK for me, completely black, I have to move the camera to some strange places to get it to flicker back to normal,

Chak Gerent today when fighting in Nuhock lane it was black / dark in most places unless camera was moved to random location, moved over to Rata Novus to help finish Chak there and had the same thing,

Its only been since the last patch, I had a friend who turned down there settings to stop it, but im not sure I want to have to turn down settings to have to play.

Visible health bars pose a risk?

Ok I Did It.2854

I read that topic on reddit, and the reply from Chris made sense,

However the problem now is that more and more people are using the 3rd party ap, as some parts of it are ok, and some are not ( boarder line ) the issue is that someone who doesn’t follow the forums/reddit/ dev comments, who say only happened to watch a youtube video from a top GW2 streamer, who recently said it was OK to use,

So with more and more people using it, if anet decide to change there mind on the app, will they give a statement saying that from xx day you cannot use it, or just go with plan B and go, WHAM blanket ban for those using it.

I wouldn’t mind trying out the app to show my DPS and stats or my team so that we know where to improve/change things up, but I wont even download it if it means that my account could be at risk at a minutes notice.

Im hoping that in a future expansion Anet will have the resources to have this type of thing ingame, even if its just for certain bosses/raids/fractals so that teams can monitor there damage etc, this way it removes the need for 3rd party, I think the person who made it said they had 16k downloads that week and 2k players using it at any one given time, this has probably increased since then.

Brainstorm Abilities

in WvW

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

They should add abilities that allow you to invest in things like

WvW XP gain, 10 points per 1% extra capped at 50% ( 500 levels needed to max )
WvW Title track gain, 10 points her 1% extra capped at 50% ( 500 levels need to max )
WvW MF boost, 2 points per 1% extra capped at 1000% ( 2000 levels needed to max )

We have PvE maps that give MF ( silverwastes ) we have PvE maps that throw extra Karma at you ( Emberbay, Bloodstone, Bitterfrost )

We need things in WvW that take along time to get, but things that will give you rewards for your investment.

Also im aware that some players are in the 5k+ range in WvW levels, and they deserve something for there investment, they have spent along time playing WvW for them levels.

zerg busting

in WvW

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Im surprised people are still complaining about this,

Some complain that condis are out of control, ive never seen so much condi cleanse in WvW, light field blast,

Instead of asking for nerfs/buffs maybe WvW needs the sPvP treatment, where you cannot use PvE armor/weapons, and NO food.

The OP said that necros can build up condis on a single target then epi them, unless that target is an NPC with a crazy amount of life, this tends not to happen, normal players would either cleanse before epi could be dropped, or be downed, yes you can drop epi on a downed player, but again if your zerg is big enough, that player tends to be killed/spiked before epi goes off.

Im guessing more and more of these complaints these days are from people who are getting killed by a certain class/classes and want them nerfed as they don’t play them.

Mystic Coin needs more supply

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

The price of Mystic Coins it fine on its own, the MAJOR problem with MC’s is that they are used in an RnG recipe for clovers that is the problem, Anet need to make a dedicated recipe,

10 Coins, 10 ecto 10 Crystals, 10 Obby Shards = 7 clovers

The last time I made 77 clovers it took me 370 coins to make them, this is NOT ok, its the RnG in that recipe that keeps them prices high.

Change the scoring, no more PvD

in WvW

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

So tonight in EBG I seen that running away from fights is still rampant, where is the fun in that, from both sides, 1 server runs away as soon as they see the enemy, and the other gives chase until the runners get into a keep/tower and hide behind arrow carts, or manage to WP out.

The group I was running with (early on) where outnumbered at least 2:1 in some fights, and when we ran out to fight the enemy they ran off,

Scoring should be changed so that PvD is not more rewarding that actually fighting, WXP from capping should be removed, or heavily reduced, we need to make it that servers that actually want to fight get placed against each other, as it stands servers will still run away hide, and when its clear run out PvD a door down and cap, then run away again, its boring, with this you should increase the rewards from actually fighting real players.

Servers that wish to do that, will eventually get that, and only face each other, and servers that want to actually fight in WvW will move up and face each other, that way servers who want to PvD all day wont have to fight anyone,

As it stands, even with the changes to scoring, its still to easy for a server to score and never actually have to fight anyone other than an NPC that stands no chance against 20-40 people.

Why Was the Frost Gun Disabled?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

It wasn’t an exploit, it was an environmental weapon given by an NPC that was long long forgotten, until someone worked out at the chill damage from it in combo with some traits allowed some classes to stack insane amounts of bleed stacks on an enemy, clearly when they made HoT they cant cover every single thing that could arise, like WP said, most people probably never heard of the weapon until his video, I hadn’t, I gave it a try, it was ok for a gimmick, but not really overly useful or all that fun.

I think on the WP stream on twitch they got like 600 bleed stacks on the chak world boss, and killed it in 1 burn.

It did need nerfed, im hoping they nerf the weapon and not the Reaper, but a lot of people on reddit have a feeling anet will hit the Reapers trait instead.

Can we get a hardmode for pve maps?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

The best way for Anet to do this, would be to use instances like fractals/raids, where you get your 5/10 man team together, pick a map from an NPC and go vanq it in hardmode,

Maps would need preset, so no world bosses ( Jormag, Shatterer etc ) would spawn in said maps, only your standard mobs all the way up to champion, more and more of the game is becoming instanced, and I would love to see HM introduced, with better rewards for map completion etc.

PvP QQ

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Anet has created that toxic environment which mainly calculates your MMR on skill and behaviour of other players. Whenever you see there is something wrong with other players behaviour or gameplay (true or not) you are the one who gets punished by lowering your individual MMR. Sometimes it goes the other way of course were you suck but your team carries you. But it is much more often that you feel it is the other way around.

This

With the way matchmaking works you are 100% at the mercy of the other players, last night and this morning I had players who didn’t care, on 1 map my team was 150 points up and dominating, then suddenly we had a “DC” who just happened to come back into the game right as the other team was ahead, he had a guild mate in the other team, and all but admitted in team chat to throwing the match to allow them the win, ( W T F am I supposed to do with that ) reporting doesn’t do squat.

Today had several matches where a warrior would die in 3 seconds, then QQ about not having support, and then proceeded to run to mid and give free kills away, this happens way more than it should because.

1. they don’t care about the game they are farming the title tracks.
2. they know there is no punishment for such acts.

I don’t know how Anet will fix this to be honest, the only real way is a 2 up 1 down system that ive seen in another game, that way those who just throw matches etc will eventually move down down down to the bottom and you wont have to worry about them again, and allows you when winning to move away from them, but I do know that if they don’t get the system sorted, there will be even less players next season ( if there is a season )

I was watching a top EU player on twitch a few weeks ago, who lost a match and even stated in twitch that there was no way to carry it, as the players on the team where so so bad, if top players cant carry bad players, people at lower tiers have no chance in hell, and they get stuck with that and held down, and lose interest.

Can you be carried into top 100?

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

You would be amazed how often this happens, its to the point now where I no longer talk to my team as I just accept that they more than likely will not know what they are doing,

Ive seen teams 4v1 a guard off point while the enemy stands in point, I don’t understand it, ive seen more players this season that don’t know their class or at least what their class is supposed to do, than any previous

Remember that the ratings don’t really count for crap this season, due to the way the leaderboard is setup, there are a lot of players in the top 100-250 that normally would never be there.

Constructive Feedback on Leather Prices

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

The leather farm has introduced a lot more leather to the market, enough that guilds etc are buying it for upgrades, and or people are buying it now waiting for the legendary armor etc etc,

The problem is, Anet did add a way to get leather, but 90% of people don’t use it, they want the 10% to farm it, and hope they flood the market for them so it drops in price, and all this just plays into the hands of the TP flippers, so yea if more ppl farmed leather, the prices to drop as supply would outstrip demand.

And here 1 more reason why S6 is my last

in PvP

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

The reason it is implemented like this is because teams sometimes (but rarely) win 4v5s, but rewarding the 5th guy that DC and did nothing would be folly in such a case.

In this case then if they DC’d and got back into the match and won, they just shouldn’t gain any rating, nor should they lose it, if they DC and get back in and lose fair enough, but its like a double punishment, also anyone who has played on EU server in the last 8-10 days, will know all to well about how random the login servers can be, and randomly kick you out of game, not to mention the game breaking bug in PvP when trying to swap toons before the match starts, where the game crashes, does anet take that into consideration, NOPE.

I recently made HOPE and the T4 part of the collection was the worst to do, it got so bad that I actually considered just abandoning it to be honest, and no it wasn’t rushed, this one actually took me several months to make,

It has put me off making any other new Legendary that Anet puts into the game, as its almost like they no longer think about the collections, and they just pick the most annoying random world boss events they can find to make you get the items you need.

Well ive never waited 4-8 mins for a match, but I agree they completely dropped the ball on the playerbase willing to take part, gutting rewards and other changes made it completely undesirable to play, in another topic on this sub section one of the top EU players stating that they had players with 600-700 less rating than them own their team, that is shocking, but alas its going to go ignored, you either suck it up, or stop playing it would seem.

Why do you not play?

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

I decided today to finally say goodbye to PvP, the match ups are shocking, every match it seems I get team mates that have no clue what they are supposed to do, fighting off point, dying in 3 seconds,

Twice today I had a team where they lost a 3v1 OFF POINT, how do 3 players lose to 1 player off point, when im tanking the rest of the other team, at mid solo, its crazy,

6 losses in a row today did it for me, I see the same people on the opposite team who just steamroll over the team im on, while my team are running in circles or holding eachothers hands.

Add to this the clearly broken classes that are rampant, PvP is just not fun, I feel im being forced to play a certain class, and a certain build or you might aswell just not bother, its pretty clear now that anet have no vision for PvP or what its supposed to be, season 6 has pretty much killed off all interest I had left in PvP now, and I haven’t been playing PvP for as long as others, sadly good matches are just non existent, and no comms from any dev at all about PvP, other than a sigil update we may or may not see, its like they don’t even play their own game, or if they do it but be 5 devs vs 5 devs for some office fun, because no way they are playing the same PvP everyone else does.

Oh well on to another game for PvP it is.

My PvP feedback as a new player

in PvP

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Ranked PvP is the worst one I’ve ever seen since I started PvP in videogames and I’m not joking, so basically Ranked PvP allows you to have a 5 man team coordinated in Teamspeak against a full team of solo players,

I also see a lot of elitism, I get insulted because I don’t have glowing skins or because my achievements are extremely low due to the fact that I don’t do PvE but when the games scoreboard shows at the end I was doing it x5 times better than those people so I really don’t get the point of “Let’s blame the guy without skins even if at the end he get 6 top medals” I even ask them for 1v1 and they refuse while they keep saying that I’m a noob and that I should learn to play after they saw me win a 1v2 against a DH and a Thief.

Your first part about the 5 man team on TS is incorrect, in ranked you can only Duo Q, so unless the opposite team got extremely lucky and managed 2 x duo q’s from the same guild, then you did not have them on TS, but match making has been an issue, and chances are if you are new to PvP then yes you may have had an unfavourable match up,

The second part about being abused because of skins, I have never seen this in any match ive played ever, so im not sure if you just got some random nasty players or not, as for the Achievement Points, people do look at them, but given that players also roll new accounts to play PvP with, I wouldn’t let that get to you.

As for build variety, in unranked you will see a lot more build variety as people try different things, in ranked not so much, as people tend to run 1 or 2 builds for each class, and only change the build depending on who they are facing.

Im curious do you play on NA or EU, because apparently there is a world of difference between the two.

What Happened to Hardened Leather?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

They put a leather farm in the new map, which always has a group doing it, you can get the leather from there,

The problem is, people don’t want to do that, they just want everything handed to them on a silver platter.

So yes, go to the new map, open lfg, click on lake doric, pick any group that is leather farming,

It will still take you time to get the T6 leather, but you can get it fairly fast doing it this way,

Else open up the TP and buy it all.

idk, the leather farm did nothing and isn’t very good. Think I’ll spend today farming and see what can be done about leather.

This is not true, the leather farm works great, the problem is ppl still want things handed to them, and don’t want to put any effort into farming themselves, they want Anet to step in and nerf it.

Great responses guys, I am just curious if anet has any ideas or plans for optimization in the future. I absolutely love the graphics and the quality of the game over all. Hopefully Anet can chime in on so potential ideas and maybe thoughts.

I would doubt it, as they are restricted by the games engine, when they decided to make GW2 they took the decision to make it as friendly to older systems as possible, and the game has been out nearly 4 1/2 years already, add 2-3 years development before that, the game engine is dated,

Unless Anet completely remake the game engine or make say GW3 on a more powerful game engine we will always have these limitations, best we can hope for is that, if they have time and investment, a future expansion will have a new engine allowing for a better gaming experience.

The 64 bit client really did help a lot of people back in the day, so they are aware of the games limitations.

Shroud bug 2017

Cyber Bullied Because of Being a Core Player

in PvP

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Here, core necro in plat 2, sometimes plat 1. However, the lack of AOE damage and pressure with Reaper does play an important role in higher tiers, so I feel the ‘barrier’ once I reach 1750. An initial percentaje of Life Force would help us here.

It will depend on your team, people seem to only try to counter for 1 build that they have seen time and time again, when someone brings something they haven’t seen they don’t know how to counter it, as x skill should cancel x skill,

Ive seen core necros on twitch in legendary and they can hold there own just fine, its just a matter of team support.

I don’t think other core classes would find it so easy, (esp, warrior, guard and mesmer) as they need that Elite spec to be viable, but necro is one of the classes that can handle there own at higher tiers.

PVP Recommendations

Honestly this is the best season yet. I’ve found that team members are much less salty than before. Personally I think this is because they uncoupled rewards from tier progress. So you can still get rewards without relying on a certain win ratio that is based on team effort rather than personal skill. All they need to do now is come full circle and have totally separate soloQ and teamQs.

What server are you on EU or NA,

I have friends on NA that say the matches are better there, im on EU and I swear the minute I hit that Queue button, Anet searches the entire EU playerbase for the worst players possible, and if they are not online they go to plan B which is to find the players who are AFKing there way to the reward chests, yesterday there was a player on my team who was 450 rating points below me, and he fed the enemy team kills non stop for 8 minutes.

This is by far the most depressing time ive had in PvP in along time, If I get beaten by a better team, happy days, but when I lose because people don’t care it makes me seriously not want to play again, and honestly this season will probably be the last I play, I don’t want another season of this and only getting players who are AFK, just tonight I had 2 warriors on my team both standing at max range using a BOW, against a perfectly balanced team, and we got destroyed, warriors didn’t know what to do when someone came into melee range.

Its getting to the point where its almost like Anet want me to just AFK to the reward chests too, as anything I try does not work.

My PvP recommendations for anyone who hasn’t done it, DONT, it will ruin your GW2 game experience ten fold.

Does reporting players even do anything

Does reporting players even do anything, ive reported several players for idle/match fixing etc, and nothing seems to happen to them, I see them in PvP daily, doing the same thing over and over,

How can you have a competitive season if they don’t stop the people who are going out of their way to screw it up for others,

Today ive had 4 matches where someone went out of their way to lose, by afk or running to die on purpose, we also had a guy who started the map ran out got killed then said, im going AFK and he did, everyone reported him,

Yesterday we had a guy who was clearly an ALT account of someone, ( ironically the account name had Troll in it ) he did the same thing went out of his way to lose the match by running into enemies for free kills, AFKing etc, he was reported, hes still ingame today playing,

There have been several players like this across the season, and yet nothing seems to happen to them, they are allowed to continue to play ranked matches and throw games, where you can win 4v5 it makes it very very hard when someone is going out of their way to lose.

So ANET do you read reports do you take action, does someone need to be reported x5 x50 x5000 before you take action, or is anything below Legendary Tier ignored?

Has anyone else seen someone they have reported for whatever reason and continue to see them play in ranked doing the same thing??? If I get beat by a better team happy days, you reflect and learn, to get beaten by a team because someone on your own team goes out of their way to lose, is bad, and this is also why the rating system needs an overhaul.

Let's be honest here...

I agree that they need to look into moving the ascended gear to WvW, the other rewards are nice though, 20g every repeat, and you can repeat that once a day if you can be bothered,

They should have made it for PvP that instead of ascended gear, it was exclusive PvP skins, this would have given PvP players a reward, and stopped the PvE players from afk farming for free ascended armor.

Lets be honest and realize that technically you don’t need anything in sPvP. Therefore there should never be any rewards of any type and sPvP players should just be copperless toons in starter gear.

Sadly if anet made it that there was no reward at all in PvP, the playerbase would drop even lower than now, this game doesn’t have the numbers to handle that drop off, not for PvP anyway.

Ranked arena requirements

Anyone can carry their team in bronze, so if you’re struggling to win in that range the issue is not the new player, it’s yourself.

I have news for you, PvE players can actually be decent in pvp. Isn’t that a shock? That’s the whole point of the rating system. It puts you in your place, yeah your teammates may sick but guess what so does the enemy team have those same crap teammates (they have the same rating usually.)

That’s not really true though is it, have you played in Bronze, I climbed out of Bronze after nearly 50 games, it was a struggle, but the players at this level just cannot be carried, (yes im aware of what 1 of the top players in EU did) but heres a good example.

Tonight in a match I had a Necro and a Thief who ran everywhere together, and died over and over to a RANGER, ( yes a ranger not even druid ) and this Ranger killed them over and over, no matter how much in chat we asked Necro to support mid they ignored us, we ended up losing by 200+ points,

Another match the guard in the team died in 3 seconds to the enemy team, and continued to do that over and over,

Some matches you just cannot carry no matter what you try, some players just cannot play a class, I main Necro and have seen other Necros on the team, who didn’t use any boon stripping and when asked, they said they where a minion master, enough said, some players are too ingrained with the 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 win play style, and that doesn’t cut it in PvP.

So saying anyone who cant carry a team is bad, is just not the case, when the match is already 5v4 or 5v3.

Im all for putting the entry into Ranked to lvl 60-80, that way they have to have had some time playing x class, I also agree with ( from another thread ) that the pips should only be given if you WIN, this will stop the AFK farmers who have no interest in playing, as they get rewarded for losing anyway atm.

AFK leaderboards

Check the leaderboard then perhaps explain what exactly is the joke. The top 4 EU only have 300+ games played each.

And yet rank 9 on that pic has 20 games compared to the near 400 games from the top players,

( not sure when you took that screen shot but ) it does make it a joke when someone can get great placement results, get placed into top 20 say, and they AFK for 3 days, play 1 game, AFK for 3 days, this is where ANET really need to look hard at how the decay works, that player maybe very well a top player in EU, but they are no where near putting in the same effort as the others.

When you can be ranked in the top 10 of anything with less than 10% of the games that most players have around you, something is broken.

You don’t need to use the control panel, just locate the GW2 folder on your HDD and right click and delete it, the entire game is located within the folder, and this will remove if from your system,

You may need to manually remove any shortcuts you have for it.

Long term PvPrs how do you do it.

So for those of you who have 1000’s of PvP games under your belt, how did you find climbing this season so far, how did you get past the losses and bad players who held you back,

Tonight I finally hit my final straw with PvP, (I tend to main Necro) but the match up’s now have made it where I no longer enjoy PvP at all, I shouldn’t have to tank players, but it seems that any guard I get on my team dies in 4 seconds to the enemy, where as the enemy guard can tank 3 players on my team,

Speaking of main classes, ( everyone has one ) has anyone else seen someone on there team with the same class, and you don’t switch because you just don’t trust them, I had a Necro on my team a few days ago, so I swapped to Ele, and half way through the match I noticed they were not doing any boon stripping, when challenged they said they don’t play for boon stripping they are condi, * I literally slammed my head into the wall* needless to say we got destroyed.

So yes, how did you get past the frustration of match after match that had players who have no interest and are just AFK farming the pips for the chest, ive seriously added about 25 shockingly bad players to my ignore list to try Queue dodge them, its beginning to feel like some of the people im getting have seen youtube/twitch and think oh I can do that.

Do I need to play more PvP off season to boost the MMR so that next season placement is better after the first 10 games, so I can potentially avoid some of these players, should I look into a guild that is more dedicated to PvP.

Someone in my current guild said do not worry about ratings, and just AFK run around the map, and get pips its easy farm mode, I actually felt disgusted by that comment, but it seems im getting players who only are interested in that.

I was against pre made 5 man teams, but now thinking about it, its a good idea, sure you will meet teams that are fantastic and will destroy you, but at the same time it will help avoid those who have no interest in PvP at all.

For now I will continue to try and improve, and I understand results don’t happen over night, and I know that some guys have gotten 1000’s of hours in PvP, but for now it feels like im slamming my head on my keyboard.
