If it makes you happy I did prove my initial hypothesis wrong. I'm not getting hung up on that like you are though.

Changing opinion based on evidence is just being rational. granted my former thread started in frustration due to constant premade stomps but something positive:

(the fact that in a pug vs pug environment imps are actually more likely to win by a small margin which was unexpected. the fact that win/loss are in fact closer to even than most people expected.)

has come out of it and if you feel I've wasted my time that's your opinion.

But there is a tone of passive aggression in your posts that does warrant the: "u mad bro" approach.
Point noted and accepted. Reread a few posts and I can see how I came off that way. However, you completely skirt around the fact that you yourself aggressively took to the forums in the first place to post out of discontent for the rep faction and their supposed super queueing, or other tactics.

You did a detailed analysis, which I commend, and ended up seeing that you win much more often than it felt like you did. Maybe saw patterns of queueing at different times and found out when the best time to play was, idk. All I'm pointing out is that you initially posted out of rage, and now that you have some data to ease your mind, you're all coolheaded and acting like you didn't whine in the first place. Pot calling the kettle black.

But at one point I went 11 games in a row without a loss on my gunslinger

It would also depend on when you que, if i am "working" from home some days I find the imperials win the majority of the games during the day, where as the pubs obviously rule the night :P

Needless to say that imps getting 48% of the wins is encouraging

But for the most part from playing on the PTS the last week i do think our server is ahead of the curve, after playing with some of the "better" players from other servers that talk a big game.
Art, its not a fluke that pub vs pub happened. It happens enough. I played imp last night and was shocked to get an I,p vs imp game,which I find ironic b/c that usually doesn't happen.

And yeah, I think that is good to have taken that back as to how the pvp on our server is "ahead of the curve" as you out it. I've always felt at way. However, there are a lot of really good imp guilds on the pts, so it's nice to get to play with other skilled players and see how they do. That's why I'd love to see cross server pvp queues to expand our horizons, if for nothing else than that experience.

I've never accused reps of super queuing. The main issue is that about once a week or so you get the "perfect storm" from reps. By this I mean that due to their being about twice as many rep guild there are times of the on specific days where it is almost impossible to avoid hitting some form of elite pub premade. And this was the case when I took the forums in a rather annoyed fashion. Fair enough, I have chilled a bit since then, touche.

IMO opinion the best way BW can get around stopping the "perfect storms" is through cross server queuing to expand the pool of players. I mean there's nothing worse than getting utterly stomped by premades 5/6 games in a row which is why I was probably justifiably annoyed previously.

Very well put.

I think what you describe as the "perfect storm" might be nights like Tuesdays being a big raid night (assumption) an then say Wednesdays or Thursdays those guilds then queue up for pvp and just ironically a whole bunch of good olayers are stomping wzs. I honestly don't know much about the guilds, but I do believe LD and PD do raid in addition to pvp (among others) and the perfect storm nights are probably their off nights for raids.

Guess I also was tryin to say that we get a lot of pub vs pub matches and we get stomped just as hard by those guilds as imps do. Thy have good players, who are coordinated, so just gotta do as good as you can or leave the wz. I do stay with my original statement that imps seem to drop out of wzs like its going out of style as compare to pubs who are expecting a loss. That never helps anyone involved, except for those rare instances where the ppl who dropped are replaced with awesome players, and then it becomes sweet...

Who? What? Me, I don't have an op =P

No I didn't, but might as well though since I'm garbage. As Conji will tell you, I account for -2 players when I get into a group. He keeps me in check so I know where I'm at.

Edit: I have 6 other toons here and 2 on POT5. I can't fit them all into the sig, so I just figure I'll keep it simple with the toons I play the most often.

well I think you should put the op in the sig. it's a good name for the class/spec and legacy.
