Premades getting a crutch to help them

Well yeah.... I mean this is like the PvP argument all over again..... "QQQQQ it should be gear v gear."


Get a team....., but to "appease" everyone maybe do reward tier is a better option...

But will you be hamstrung to the same team? How feasible is that?


[EDIT] you can run ops with a different team everytime (all within the same guild). Some are better than others, but having options to "PUG" even if it is still guild mates needs to be a part of the ranked match process...

At peak times there are barely enough active PvPers on my server to keep 3-4 Warzones running. Thats including both pugs and pre-mades of both factions.

In other words, ranked games are going to be a ghost town most of the time until x-server hits anyhow, I don't foresee them even being utilized very often.

When one of the two pre-mades able to fill a group and Q gets tired of losing to the other, it will basically die until they work up the urge to go lose more.

Sounds like a winning system to me.

Son, do you even play this game?

Everything you mentioned doesn't even make sense, as VGs and PTs do not consistently burst 10k, their DPS is almost so RNG it's almost liek Russian Roulette. And we won't go into Juggs/Maras, as from the Mara thread, you clearly have no idea of their class capabilities.

There is no difference. The people complaining about this are the same people that think you should be able to /lfg pug any raid of any difficulty. They don't want to join a group, they don't want to play in an organized way and they don't want people who do to have any form of advantage. They are why MMOs are starting to suck more and more as time goes on.

Casual games where everyone of any skill level and commitment level can accomplish the same things die. No one is going to 'pay' for that. Games where theres a competitive nature and skill/organization reaps greater rewards succeed, the catch is making both sides happy enough to keep a portion of both sides in the game for a long time.

The hardcore whiners will do just that no matter what, you can't please them and hopefully the developers ignore them and recognize that the majority of their subs will be happy with a situation like this.

Casual PVPers can still grind up to BM in the casual bracket of solo Qs.
Competitive PVPers can grind up to a higher level because they are competing at a higher level via ranked Qs.

The best fix is to segregate the brackets so the rated folks can't get an unfair GEAR advantage in the unranked Q. make the gear scale down to BM level that way the only advantage you have in the unranked Q is your skill and not your gear.

The ONLY valid concern anyone can have with this system is that rated players will get better gear and then use that gear to consistantly roll the casual PVPers who grinded up to their top potential (BM). That is a valid concern and should be addressed somehow.

I like you.

i support this, there should be rewards for playing as a team with a team. get over it, go make a premade, L2P

Yes...
Cause mmo games are nothing about having fun and relaxing after work...
Mmo are job for some ppl (not game developers but the nerds that have no real life)
And for these ppl the one and only purpose in their life is to be "best players" in 1 of many video games out there...
And that according to them, all the other ppl that play this game, they arent casual ppl that play for fun, but they are all trying hard, day and night to succeed in pvp and they fail....lol, so fun if you think of it.

Yes of course you will be hamstrung to the same team. How do you think Ops groups work for Raids?

I assume you could have 12 people on your 8 player group.

Different gear is fine, expected, wanted.

Another tier of gear with higher stats is not.
