DoomNexus.5324 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion but look.. I'm tired of the clownfiesta ranked has become (quite some time ago) and just want to get into some chill matches of Stronghold or unranked Conquest and get my loot. All the stuff will still be time gated to the season (which I think is the main point?) and I don't really see a good point for further gating it behind ranked-only. As a bonus for the competitive ranked players: all the casuals who are only there for loot can simply queue unranked and don't bother you laddering anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwelgm.4315 Posted Sunday at 11:01 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:01 AM Is this really an unpopular opinion? I would drop ranked in a heartbeat and let the more competitive players have their fun. I play meta builds and drag my way into top 250 every season because I believe some people actually enjoy it as a competitive mode and to be honest yes I have a bit of performance anxiety, but I'd certainly rather be playing more variety of builds in unranked where I wouldn't be ruining people's grind. I find it particularly egregious that I enjoy queueing for several matches in a row and yet the leaderboard play is exactly the opposite and you should have the least amount of matches possible - this actually means matches are more random for me because I never know if I'm gonna go against the #1 player fighting his decay or a silver 3 in a winning binge. It's about time especially with a new mode potentially with its own leaderboard being tested, that Anet allows people to legitimately farm in sPvP since they were so inclined to yield PvE rewards on it (we even have uniquely PvP/WvW rewards now with Woad armor!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calva.2914 Posted Sunday at 01:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:14 PM Well I mean It would prevent afking in ranked from people who just want their leggy gear. Won’t completely fix the problem though. I would probably drop ranked too. This is probably why it won’t happen as they are trying to get more people into ranked and not less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multicolorhipster.9751 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Hardly unpopular, it should have been like this from the start. There's barely any reward beyond dailies in Unranked so that's where all the tryhards and sweats go, and freebie rewards in Ranked that are some of the easiest gold per hour and leggys to get in the game so all the PvE casuals go there. It's completely 🍑backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotejjeken.1267 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Casuals should be bracketed to their own rank, if that's not working it's a bigger issue than opening up ranked rewards to unranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
