trunks.5249 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 i have been playing ranked so much i got burn out so decided to do the 4 winds while its on. i log in after a few days and my rank went down so i am forced to pvp so decay doesn't happen.. anet just putting it out there burn out leads to taking huge breaks months even years at a time in turn leads you to lose money because i am not there to buy new skins when they come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downstate.4697 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Dont be a slave to the pips. Also decay is very forgiving and if you take months or years of a break you deserve to start at a lower tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahkeus.8243 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Play a few games and your rank will shoot up faster than before. It’s the decay system. It keeps people from just playing a handful of ranked games, getting lucky, and the being able to just stop playing to keep their rank at a high state to show off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I highly doubt Anet is worried about losing money from one of the 20 remaining PvP players out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shao.7236 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Decay doesn't do anything but keep you from AFKing the Leaderboard. The moment you start playing, you're still paired against what you should normally be, you're not gaining your pts back when you come back, you're just proving that you can stay at that level to which if you're winning or losing will dictate your current deserved position at the same time the more decay you take away.

Disney.7826 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 U get max 700 decay. U lose 100 decay with every ranked played. if u are 1500 and have 300 decay, means u need to play 3 games and ur rating will be 1500 +/- the rating u got from 3 games the 300 decay is only for leaderboard, so #1 player cant stay there whole season without playing a single game for 1 month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
