My conclusion regarding this question is that Anet really dont care about SPvP anymore, terrible matchmaking, bots players going afk these are the thing i see in just a couple of matches a day.
It literally happen 30 mins ago, I even posted a screenshot of the team I played against, like you said why would I make this up?
You shouldnt be so quick to dismiss others players experiences because they don't match up with your own it's very close minded.
This doesnt seem to work the way you have described at least not in my case, i constantly get matched against top 20 as g3 and if i win i get 4-10 points and if i lose i get negative 18-23
Im told that 3 of the enemy players are 1700+ but Im only looking at the obvious.
Can Anet explain why players are being matched even though they are 300 points different?

I don't know what it's like in the very top ranked games but in g3 p1 (supposedly) class diversity is much higher than it was even a month ago, I'm seeing more warriors, engis, mesmers and less necros and guardians.
So many defeatist attitudes, matches can be turned around happens quite often.
If you click to join a pvp match then you are accepting to play the whole match that is why you should be forced to play or be removed with no rewards.
Afking is robbing your team of any chance to turn the match around which is basically match manipulation....now that I think about it if you add in all the talk of que dodging there are a lot of people manipulating matches that are vocal about being against it 🤔
