[how many people should be in legendary?]

do you like the way the current MM functions, forcing many more wins to counter every loss?

edit

should've added a 1% in there

I think if you change the division threshold it would work better with the low pop and you'd see more in legendary. Too many shenanigans at the top level. Say Legendary is 1600 - 1700, Plat 1500 - 1600 something like that.

I've hammered the point about how we got there to death at this point. 

 

PvP isn't very fun atm, and it's not just because necromancer drains the enjoyment out of any fight they're in. We've methodically stripped so much away that it becomes progressively harder to deal with outliers as they come up, and as builds keep getting nerfed they get arguably less fun and more frustrating to play. 

 

Warriors are upset that they can't unga-bunga and embrace the true warrior fantasy. Instead they play music on warhorn.

 

Mesmers are still playing where's Waldo trying to figure out where their extra dodge went

 

Thieves have become masochists and clamor  to get their own class nerfed. 

 

Ele boomers tell their friends about how glass canons used to deal damage back in the day

 

Revs play in their energy puddle and get weird looks from the neighbors

 

Guardians try to heal themselves with their heal skill that doesn't heal

 

Engineers quietly build a religion about how core died for their sins. 

 

Everyone wonders where the population went. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spot on! It's not really fun and hasn't been for some time. Just play for the rewards, only way to keep your sanity.

My alt account w 200 matches is150 pts above my main account w/10k + matches played. I have to try hard supper carry on my main account. The alt account matches seem to be slightly more balanced.

Let me clear something up, because you mention "seem to be more balanced" rather than saying "seem to be easier".

Do the matches on the alt feel more balanced as in, not just the point outcomes, but over the course of say 10 matches, you are not seeing lopsided point results or even seeing lopsided results as in no clearly visual signs of one side being ultra dominant, nearly as often?

^ Because if that is the case, I'm telling you, this MMR effects match making under rating, total games played effects base MMR, is a function that just need to be reviewed. There is enough evidence adding up, from the players I've spoken with, that shows total games played base MMR inflation is causing some kind of janky problem in the match maker.

Not seeing as many lopsided wins/losses compared to my main account. I don't have to "try hard" to climb in rating on the alt accounts. Some folks Ive played with over the years sit around in gold 3 for extended periods only to maybe squeak out a P1 rating at the end of the season.

100% serious this time. I'm not just "mad at the game right now" like before.

No, this game is actually ruined. The pvp scene is truly kaput here.

Really sorry to hear that man. Should stick around and do fractals n whatnot.

@Flomix.3982 said:I actually don't understand why people complain that they want a refund. It is a cool feature for everybody. I bet the same complaints were done back then when legendary weapons were made Accound bound instead of soulbound, and there were also no refunds for people who bound one legy multiple times before. And still nobody would want the old times back.

So you are saying you don't understand the desire to recoup the thousands of gold and many hours spent farming for materials? I find the capacity of some people to see what's right in front of them amazing. Yes of course it is a cool feature. But unlike maybe one or two weapons you had to make 6 pieces of armor multiple times for each character. That's a lot of time, effort and money that is now potentially wasted due to this feature. I for one would have only made one suit of each type if this were introduced at the time of legendary armor release. Do you understand now?

Realize the folks that crafted multiple sets are an outlier and not the norm. A relatively very small percentage of GW2 players have invested that heavily. No one forced you to craft more legendries, its done for convenience and nothing else. This would be a huge QOL change for a majority of the player base. Now they have reason to complete sets, trinkets and weapons.

The system is broken from the bottom up man, that’s the sad truth and it’s always been like that since S1.

Very True. Trev's experiences are NOT an outlier. old time vets have the same issue on their main accounts for a long time now. Ranked punishes you mercilessly for things out of your control for no transparent reason.

@Trevor Boyer.6524 said:I am seriously getting tired of builds that can stealth in at you from 4000 some range and instantly drop your health from 100% to 0% with no tells.

It's a bad design that makes for a bad game that isn't fun to play.

Agreed.

If you have enough matches played for the leaderboard, play 1-2 matches every 3 days and that's it. this way you have a better chance of keeping your rating.

[Season is currently ending.]

I feel ya. As a rule shoot for 1550 and you should be good. I finished 2 points out of a title this season. Unfortunately you get punished mercilessly for losses in ranked play, and trying to make up for 1 or 2 losses forces you to start ice-skating uphill.
