I don't care much about rewards, I just want to PVP and that would work better with cross server queues.

I'm struggling to see what's actually 'new'. Shorter time between seasons - that it? Oh and a quest. #lazy

I would be excited about it all if there would be any way for me to partake in season 2. I don't see it happening, because in 21 weeks of season 1, I managed to get into one solo ranked and zero group ranked matches. Even if 5 from my guild were queued for solo ranked, we didn't get a pop. Eventually I gave up trying. I saw one Rancor so far. Just wondering how the guy got enough pops. I have the strong feeling, it had to do with two groups queueing at the same time during off-peak. coughcough Since I will not move to a PvP server, my main question is: Why do I post here at all?

That make sense and doesn't sound fair at all, unless you implement ranked warzone queues to be cross-server. Otherwise it may be much easier to transfer to a RP or PVE server with lesser quality PVP and achieve more there because it's easier to win than playing on a top-notch PVP server where many more people may be on your level. Then again, there are servers where warzones don't pop as often to consider. So unless you implement a proper cross-server warzone solution and a ladder/league system where players are matched accordingly (among other things), the rewards should be per server.

So basically you only get to see these rewards in screenshots because they'll all either be on PVP servers (because all the great players) or non-PVP servers (because a much larger skill gap and easier to beat up on people). Mhm, makes sense...

While this might not have been a bad idea for 8v, in the current deathmatch settings, a single player without full expertise (or experience to compensate for that deficiency) melts. Simply put, without gating arenas (e.g., requiring full expertise, thereby allowing bolster to be removed), this is a bad idea. Certainly, it might make pops more frequent, but it definitely will not improve the quality of PvP play. I don't get this...they need to do SOMETHING to incentivize Ranked play...how would you incentivize it? A daily/weekly mission is a great start imo. Even if players do it just for whatever reward it is, they will get the one thing they aren't getting now, experience! I'm 100% for Ranked missions...it's about time!

Apart from cross-server queues--which don't appear to be coming, at least in the near term--this seems like the easiest and most logical way to get ranked queues popping faster. Hell, I might even try it once I get some decent pvp gear!

Even if new players queue for ranked, it isn't really an excuse for bringing your rating down. Theoretically, you'll have equal amounts of them on your team and against your team, so whether or not your rating increases is up to you.
