@Trevor Boyer.6524That's precisely it, I kept seeing the same posts of yours through the forums but everyone just ignores them.I find it hard to believe that pvp devs are really incapable of understanding this concept that a single pro player cannot carry a game with 3 objectives spread out over the map.This is precisely the reason why so many matches are steamrolls.Either that or as ben said, we just need to stop "tilting".

That's another thing. I rarely have even matches (maybe 2-3 in 10 that are won/lost within 100). Vast majority of them are 200-300 point steamrolls. If everyone's being paired up with evenly matched skill rating players, why do this happens. Believe me, I am not talking about dcers, afker's throwers. I mean where everyone is actively playing.

I wanted to point out this guy's post as he words it pretty accurately. It's not that anyone believes Arenanet employees are sitting back and having a good laugh while directly rigging matches by hand. When they say "It feels rigged" they are referring to whatever the algorithm is doing when it places us into a predetermined stature of winning or losing for that day, regardless of if you are peaking and breaking skill limits or maybe even playing a bit poorly. <- This isn't satisfying play and it makes it so actual player skill is taking a backseat to the algorithm's predetermination. This is frustrating and it does not feel good to play at all. Guild Wars 1 random arenas "that had absolutely no match making algorithm in place" felt like more balanced match making than Guild Wars 2 and it still does to this day. If the algorithm in Guild Wars 2 is having so many problems with a lower population, maybe it's time to consider removing it or heavily altering it's functions. Agreed with all of your posts. Unfortunately, all of that requires effort, resources, time and most importantly the ability to admit that you were wrong about something. Don't think Anet is willing to use/admit to any of those just yet.

That's the reason I've been stuck in Gold3 for the past 2 seasons. Once you get close to 1500 rating, the matches become extremely one sided, you get steamrolled so hard. Last seasons I think I was 2 or 3 games away before going on a 8 or 10 match lose streak.So either my personal "skill" dropped like a brick overnight, or there's something wrong with the MMR.
