VictorWai.7694 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Unless you are top 10 or 250 leadersboard, 90% of us get no special ranked reward, title, gears at the end of season. (Is the badge besides your name tag a reward?)Two seasons I just keep playing and repeat the final box regardless what rank I drop. I get decent and good money at leastYou know their rule. Keep playing and consecutive win will only result in negative effect on matchmaking and less point after victory. Thus, two seasons I limit my game played and hit platinum but back to gold3 finally. I got much less money with nothing special at the end.....I mean we get money for our participation (repeatable chest). But we get nothing for our rank?? Not even a black lion ticket scrap base on our division?? Do we deserve better prize for fighting harder?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashgar.3024 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I thought the same originally but i think its not necessarily a bad thing that there's no end of season rewards, it most likely curbs down the will for people to cheat or get piloted to a certain rank every season like it happens in other games.

Abazigal.3679 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 In theory, it's about competitivity and showing others " how good you are " . Top250 get special title, so others should know these players are good since not many players will own these titles.I'm saying " in theory " because there are way too many titles, emotes, finisher emotes in game so that anyone can know x player is good or not. It was nice in GW1, because such things were more noticeable and less common. Phoenix emote, rank 9 gladiator, rank 8 commander,... These were uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilson.9865 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It does not matter for me plat, gold, silver, bronze. Skill of players does not change from one rank to another. Only reward track has value and gold from league chest is just a bonus.Kitten ranks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahkeus.8243 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Why do anything? Why play a video game when you don’t earn any real life money for it?I like playing for higher rank because the games there are generally closer and I tend to have better teammates and smarter enemies. It gives more of a challenge that makes winning more enjoyable. Sure, I’m a platinum casual, and I’m far from being top anything. I’ve never done any ESports, and I rarely even get queued with anyone that has a recognizeable name, but I still play because for someone like me that often only gets in a handful of games on a good day, I’m not playing for being the coolest guy in GW2 PvP. I’m playing because it’s a good challenge in a game that I like and it’s a nice break from real life stress.Gold and rewards don’t matter that much anyways. I have enough sparkly dresses for my characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis.5169 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It may surprise you but alot of the people who pvp do it out of enjoyment.And would pvp without rewards, having a title and getting rewards is just a side thing, which is why alot of purest dislike the fact that there are so many pve rewards in pvp.And some people strive to be the best because that's what they do, the top 25 guys are there because they are good and they love pvp not because it gives them loot.

Jagdtiger.2517 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 You're talking as if getting on the leaderboard means anything. I realized in S8 that I could either waste 3 hours a day trying to compete with Helio for #1 or I could get straight As in all my classes and I did the latter. Most PvE players don't even know what most of the titles other than legendary demigod and god of pvp mean, and ultimately the only point of getting god of pvp is purely cosmetic, it's only a title. Also this game's PvP is mostly meaningless so there's that; I moved on to better games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good majority of the top 50 players on that leaderboard if a kitten well understanding of how to win. Now if only other players knew what it takes to win games, instead of just spatting out in the beginning of the match "get home and mid, hold those two". It is my sincerest wish that people actually understand that home and mid is not life. That no node, unless under dire and extremely delicate strategical circumstances, should be worth dying for and stunting the rest of the team by being down a player that can provide some purpose and usefulness while alive to the other team players. That movement is a good thing, but so is being stagnant, it all depends on the situation. That minimap awareness should be practiced, and it's ok to peek at it every once in a while. That ressing players is good, but sometimes, depending on the situation, it can be bad because it means that player is downstate longer and your res will just get outcleaved anyways. That if we take an approach to the home/mid strat at the start and a player dies, it's ok to split up and run away from the fight, especially if the enemy team has not been damaged too much. That decaps, and only decaps, are good, and that fighting off the point is not necessarily a bad thing, again depending on the situation. That running in to you alone against 3 other enemies is not the smartest of ideas, especially if your teammates are nowhere near you and you're not some kind of bunker. That node is not the only thing, and giving one up to ensure your survival is not bad.But this is all wishful thinking I guess. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaporHabakuk.6219 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I would actually be happy to reset somehow my rank,this crapy placement always puts me into platinum at begining and there aint so much funn.I would hapily sit in bronze with chilled ppl,instead of that try hard rage circus,where ppl rant,cry afk or rage about loses.If there wouldnt be those chests,i wouldnt even step a foot into ranked.
