Something needs to be done

[Terc.5736]

Anet needs to do something about match manipulation and idle players in Ranked matches , it's getting out of hand. I don't mind getting my butt kicked but 4 on 5 with people standing in home or bots that run into walls for 60 seconds while you are trying to play is ridiculous . Always several of the same against particular teams . Really killing the fun

Know what could fix that? If we could create our own teams beforehand...Oh but no, cause then people too "shy" to use the LFG and find 4 other guys to join would get trampled (except all data we got from devs indicated they didn't), but then again, the extremely competent dev in charge of PvP says that team ranked pvp is not competitive.So, good luck enjoying a ranked game of sPvP in GW2, ever again.

You know what's real funny? LFG was greatly used for dungeons, LFG is greatly used for T4/CM Fractals, LFG is greatly used for Raids, LFG is greatly used for meta trains, LFG is used for AT, and these players greatly coordinate their team compositions while using the LFG tool. But apparently Arenanet seems to believe that players would be incapable of, or simply not want to use LFG tool in the exact same way with ranked que.

Okie Dokie.

No mate, that's not what's really funny, the really funny part is that like one season or two before they removed teams, they added the option for you to keep playing with your previous team, so you could have a good game as a solo, then team up with those same guys and carry on as a team. That's a whole system they had deployed for that, that went the way of the dodo.It's just freaking crazy that based on 4 seasons of ranked sPvP, 3 of which with the worse meta in the game's history (immortal mesmers and elementalists and games won with 1 point), they decided on that change, this after implementing a ton of systems reliant on ranked teams, like the guild ladders, and the aforementioned team up system.And now, i haven't touched sPvP since PoF, haven't seen any reason to do so, i had a friend that used to pvp daily, and now he keeps complaining that every time he's near plat he keeps losing standing, not because he loses, but because he looses interest for so long in sPvP that when he returns he's decayed back to bronze.
