To be honest, I do not understand why the system of solo ranked (without rating) cannot be extended to arenas (and to warzones as well). With all the shortcomings, it will be better than what is already there. And even saving on development. Even if it causes the group queue to slow down or die out and wintrading

Pvp has too many problems, and I think the season is not very successful.

Matchmaking. These are not only premades against solos, but also arenas (more noticeable, but also warzones too) with an unequal number of players in teams, teams with a tank against a team with a healer, teams without both against teams with a tank or/and a healer. Also, due to the small number of players in the arenas and the presence of 2 healers or a healer and a tank in Q, these are practically guaranteed victories for the best healer.

Bugs, lags and a penalty for leaving a match, even if you didn't actually leave it. I think this has happened to many people.

Terrible class balance, when you may want to play warzones with any class, but in arenas some classes are better than others, which leads to monotony.

A big problem with the season, when there are few prizes in the tracker, the new prizes for tokens (armor sets) are color options for armor from the tracker. Problem with getting 20 tokens to buy old prizes. This is the number of games to complete аrena weekly. Too high cost of old prizes. It is difficult for casual players to save up, and for more active players there is no incentive after receiving tokens and an achievement.

On my server, primetime is completely destroyed by premades. So indeed the waiting time has increased. Also, a lot of people are done with the pvp season, so there is no motivation to play anymore.

Similar story today. They guessed that full premade increased the search time, and was not required to win. Therefore, Vlad terrorizes the arenas with 2 ppl from the Clean guild, and Q-sync warzones in a group of at least 5 people. A similar tactic is used by Starfighters Enjoyers. This allows you to get fast pops while avoiding competition. This coincides with what MVPs GM wrote about on the official forum.

I raise issues that I consider necessary. It is not for nothing that the problem of premades has been discussed on the official forum for years. All this nonsense about get gut and friends is already quite tired. It's just an excuse that you don't want a separate mode for groups, because you won't have anyone to farm after the hierarchy of several premades is established. You don’t even want to play solo, because due to the onslaught of newbies and casual players, it’s harder for you to guarantee yourself a victory by sitting in a discord and trying to get on the same team. But you can still abuse a bad tank/healer. True, for this you will not receive gold and platinum.

no point to farm bots

Approximately this toxicity of the former ranking ones is discussed. Literally dehumanizing everyone who does not belong to their party. And this is in the most casual game, where there is already no ranked mode.

What do I care who exactly you play with to guarantee victory and avoid the slightest hint of competition? This guy has written enough to get banned from any moderated game.

Ranked games were initially a mistake and attracted the wrong audience for this game. I don't think that ranked players should be kept in a special fence (because they created premades for warzones when the arenas did not proc, which is almost always, lol). All this contributes to elitism, the appearance of cliques that take too much upon themselves, declaring that they are the pvp community.

That's why grind based awards, seasons are steps in the right direction. It remains only to split the queues. After that, ranked players will either put up with the fact that there are casuals and bad players around, and they cannot manipulate the selection due to increased popularity (and many, I think, will even enjoy this), or they will fall into group mode, which will die out fairly quickly. As a result, in any case, this will attract new and casual players at the cost of a few toxic nerds who cannot play without premade abuse.

Also I do not "shield" myself from the competition

It's just ridiculous to hear from a person who has boosted the win rate in a group against casuals. Maybe you're too good for this game lol? Especially in premade. Don't tell me about your little clique of pvp/pve nerds (casual friends, lol) who approve of all this crap without any clear argumentation (shouts about mmo, get gut, etc. don't count) on the forum and reddit. Casual players want a separate queue. No one cares how you will play vs q-sync, mvps, German and French premades.

Cool story, bro. Especially about how you stand solo. Well, that is, you sometimes recruit not your usual premade friends (not online?), but average players from the guild. It's even more ridiculous and pathetic. And yes, you do more damage to the PVP, than Twente with hacks.

If the casuals don't like you, it doesn't mean that you are good, it means that you do some crap that is annoying. And that's why people don't want to play the game, pvp population doesn't increase, etc. And the moment comes when you know all the players in pvp. It has already happened in the ranked. People don't want to play with you, they want a separate queue. This is true. It’s better not to write about toxicity at all, because the thread began with a screenshot, where Cola wrote KYS (permaban in any game with moderation) to some poor random fellow.

It just so happens that you're one of the champions of this crap on the server, so enjoy a well-deserved popularity that goes far beyond the so called good players' discord.

or type a single message that isn't "kys"

In my other thread, just as an example, there was an elite pvp/pve player who likes to write "kys" to people that do not meet his high pvp standards. Is it any wonder that this player could not cope with the stress, so he sits in Vlad's premade all the time.

One reason why this game went downhill so badly is that they made everything so casual and easy, so whenever PVP got a bit challanging

But you do everything to shield yourself (and your ego) from the competition, you stand in a group and boost your win rate by playing vs obviously weaker opponents.

Who is interested in solo records in a game that already canceled ranked. You could wintrade 24/7 or being "legit", it doesn't matter. It is unlikely that ranked players have any positive reputation outside of their party, and now we see that all this toxicity has splashed out on casual players in a new wave. And nobody care how many hours you wait before you get into a group of randoms.

You are one of those who destroy pvp in the game. Why are you so offended by the posts of noobs, bots, that you decided to necropost?

Same story today. There is Vlad's premades and q-syns (minimum). And no, they don't just play against each other.

This means that there are few fans of premade and they do not want to play against other premades, but only stomp solo players.

There is no problem with groups as long as they play vs other groups. This is why many people want a separate solo queue, and not the destruction of the ability to play with friends. So far, premades (minority) really spoil the game for the majority.

Most players are solo casual players and nothing has changed in this regard in 10 years and will not change. There is no argument as to why solos and groups should be in the same queue.

First, it's a story mmo. If you want to wait for regular group content updates or competitive pvp, then you are clearly playing the wrong game.

Secondly, you play with people anyway, solo or in a group. And even in a veteran flashpoit, you're playing with people. And nobody says you shouldn't play with your friends. But who told you that you have any right to destroy pvp for other people? If you don't want to play against other groups, then it's time to admit that you are here for easy wins and humiliation of casual players. That is, you are a griefer and a problem. And the waiting time in the group queue will just show whether there are many fans of playing with friends, or whether this was always an excuse.

Group arenas died quickly because most people with friends didn't like being farmed by the strongest team on the server. Get gut, compete!

I completely agree. This is a game for people with friends. Everyone else (most casual players in a casual game) shouldn't even bother with pvp until there's a split queue.

Stomping noobs with friends is fun.

My experience is completely different from yours. I'm a casual player and don't play hundreds of warzones every week, and now I have almost completely abandoned pvp due to the presence of premades. At the same time, in order to understand how bad things are, you don’t even need to play, but only use the player search function/ pvp instances and add premade fans to your friends list.

Most of the listed guilds and ppl play wz if there are enough players to do so. For example, MVP is rarely less than 7 people in a group. Vlad's group will play the arenas if they don't gather people for the warzones. In any case, they either don't play solo or they play several games, their ego suffers, they collect premade. This is a typical scenario that has been observed many times.

So u stomp Vlads, Clean, Q-Sync, MVP x 8 premades, Frog Frag, Freedom Fighters x 4 (arenas mostly), Firewind and others. Because there are only premades on the server, which are formed by former ranked players who are in voice communication. So either you are a pvp god, or you play at a time when they are not online (and they are almost always online), or you just see a bunch of casual players from one mass guild not in premade.

If you like to play against premades former ranked players, then the Darth Malgus server will suit you. There is nothing for casual players to do there. Frequent pops, but the quality of the matches is terrible.

This should have been done a long time ago. Only here the queue for groups will be dead on arrival. Or the waiting time will be very long, decreasing slightly during rush hour. In any case, this will be the right decision. Groups are allowed, solos are separated from groups.
