Yeah, GW2 pvp just exploded in popularity when they removed the ability to form teams. /s I believe that if the game has a future, then yes teams would increase PvP activity. If it doesn't, then no, and no solo q won't make it grow. It will be official ded gaem if they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u think 5x of one class will happen, then u don't have an understanding of ranked cuz it doesn't allow u to do that in unranked so I don't think they'll let u do it in ranked.

Kaburro.4712 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 To be honest after 4.5k games and 6 years on this forum every season I see same complains. I got suspendend from forum (can't open threads (And I don't give a cat)) . But the conclusion I came to is...: Anet team must be having a good really time reading this kind of complain while they open a bottle of wine and laugh about the money they earned today.

Cyninja.2954 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The main issue is: There is not enough players to sustain the game mode but no one wants to admit this. My personal stance is, I am absolutely against: - win trading - lax penalties for abusers (of any kind) though I understand the financial aspect behind this approach (there are sufficient studies which point to temporary bans being more effective than permanent ones in some cases) - bots (sorry but this is hilarious by now. You can't tell me it's impossible to track bots who play thousands of games and redistribute their wealth) - match-manipulation of any kind The problem is, if a sudden influx of bans reduces the pvp population even more, you might as well shut down the game mode. We already have the situation where depending on time of day, platin ranked players get matches with low gold even as far as silver. Everybody just keeps talking about balance and once balance is better everything will be fine. No it will not. Balance will not fix core issues which have persisted for years with the game mode. All a balance patch will do (ideally, this might backfire terribly too) is put a coat of new paint on the issue until the paint has dried and starts to peel off again.

Khalisto.5780 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 i dont believe in wintrading lower ranks, below gold 2 literally anything could be a reason to afk like jumping 2x into 3 ppl mid and die in 1 sec then going in map chat say "gg no team" I know because I've been there punishing my teammates for "their" mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XatraZaytrax.2601 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 At least those who shout out in chat are honest about it so you can write off the match. Rather brutal honesty then what was happening the last few nights. Had multiple matches where we were beating the other team or at least neck-and-neck, then suddenly two or more of my team checked out. Like one thief -- in three different matches -- started about halfway through the match to run from every fight, which the thief had been handily winning during the first part of the match, not capping points they were near even when an enemy wasn't even close. Then there was a guard-ranger duo doing the same. Halfway through a match they started to run from fights. They would stand near enemy point and would only move to cap when I showed up. You could see then standing next to the point on the map and I would go to see of they needed help only to find them standing idly, no enemy -- dead or alive-- in sight and run on point when I got near. The only reasons I could think of for the deception was they wanted to get full points or because they did not want to make it obvious what they were doing. But in the end it was frustrating to see it happen. Now if I see any of those players on my team I know it is an automatic loss. And I am not a person to just stand idle, so I keep trying even though it means nothing. It makes it hard for me to play again. I don't like being in a slaughter match, but if all my team members are honestly trying hard and are human, at least I know we've done our best.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Bottom line is duo q or any teaming up for that matter against a team of solo q players is not a even playing feild as duo q more times than not are a team of like skilled players and solo especially with this games population are not matched with like skilled teammates. Anyone can see that a premade team even if just duo would be a advantage in most cases over a team of solo q. This type of game should definitely allow players to partner up with their friends to pvp as if it didn't that would be ridiculous, as ridiculous as it is that the teams arnt in their own pvp mode against other teams. Solo a should be just that-solo q regardless of population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
