    Maelstrom just wins wins wins no matter what, it’s sea swallows all and I can never get enough…

    *Ahem*...Apologies for that outburst of totally biased Grand Company patriotism!

    Speaking of wins and losses during PvP matches, have you ever received a bit more PvP experience points or Wolf Marks than usual after a Frontline battle concludes?

    Well, if the Grand Company you belong to continues to rank at third place, a multiplier will be added to both PvP experience points and Wolf Marks and this will build up to a certain amount for each player.

    So if you weren’t sure why sometimes you were receiving higher amounts of these than normal, it’s because of this multiplier. Once your Grand Company ranks at first place the multiplier will reset, but the bonus will be applied for that round.

    It's okay Camate, no need to apologize for stating the obvious

    And on topic, on aether Maelstrom seems to normally get 1st or 2nd most of the time, though I have to admit that there are a TON of people who just refuse to communicate in any way, dragging us down... AND I've been noticing we've been having an anti-Storm alliance. Adders+Flames running the map picking off the Storms and taking flags where they can.

    Till Sea Swallow All!

Even when using the pvp exp calculator, I go by the third place tally since that's most likely what I'm gonna get. I'd understand some title or something for 100 and 200 wins, but for a good majority of us that would appreciate those mounts, we'll NEVER see them since we can NEVER get wins. Hell I'm up to at least 239 matches, with only 50 wins. I even had a week a couple months back with almost 50 matches and 1 win. I was beyond furious every match because it meant I couldn't complete the weekly challenge to get that 15% of rank exp bonus.

    Maybe his win ratio isnt thaaaat bad, but i know enough people with 1 win out of 50 games and thats happening to them week by week. Do you still want to tell them "Yaaaaa, but you still get wins, it just takes a bit longer"? Thats stupid, seriously.

    Edit: If you dont believe me:
    1 win out of 39 games (2.5%)


    1 win out of 56 games (1.7%)


    And now fyi, this guy would need 11200 frontlines to get to 200 wins. With 2 games per hour (wich is the average) it would take 5600 hours of playtime for one mount.
    You know what happens during that time? The game will be dead, because it will probably take him 10 years to achieve that goal and meanwhile there are 10+ higher tier mounts with even more ridiculous requirements. See the problem?

    I didnt say it wasnt fair. I was just being silly because he made an emphasis on "never". So chill out haha.
    Of course changes need to be made. Only way to enjoy it in the mean time is to try your best to make the best of it.

    I understand your frustration, but tbh it doesn't take much to transform what was a pretty bad frontline party (no clue as to what to do, no organization, etc) into a decent one. Try to lead a little bit, make people listen to you, make macros (instructions during the preparation, calls for retreats or LBs), your winrate might not skyrocket but it should make things a little bit better than going in expecting to lose.
