Yea, I'm done.

400 matches, 400 whole matches of ranked (Or close to it if unranked counts) and I'm only at 1515. I've pushed myself constantly last month to the 1700s only to be brought down back into where I am -three- times because of the "unique" situation of trying to push rank in this game's pvp system. It was on this day that I'm truely giving up on pvp in this game as a whole, dispite just how -badly- I want that top 100 armor having to suffer repeatedly in this system just isn't worth it.

I could point out why this is the case, but I don't want to write down a long rant of all of it, I'm only going to give my thoughts on what could have at the very least prevented this system from being so bad.

The chat, the -garbage- netcode, and the rampant wintrading.

The netcode I'll be honest isn't the entire reason, but it has it's effect of really -destroying- whatever chances you had in a match when it gets awful, like to the point of no recovery. Expecally with the sudden D/Cs that can happen in the feast, and we all know the effects of that.

The chat, the lack of communication on the other hand, is a major part of why this pvp system turned into complete garbage. Yoshida wants to comment on new players being the reason why it's working well, which is *blank angry word* as hes completely ignoring the MASSIVE topic of negative responses to it by people actually playing PvP to -PvP- and not farm mounts/glam!

I have experence with another solo ranked system in the old republic, I won't lie and say that it's just as driven by luck, but the -communication- of being able to tell people what to do effected your chances to win the match drastically. Matches that looked impossible due to players I knew where good being on the other team was won because we targeted and properly communicated CC and damage. This system, on the other hand, is -PURELY- driven by luck. Expectantly with how different the feast is to other arena games, most matches last for the entire game, targets and CC needs change -expecally- when the fight resets from healers being killed. No automatic phrases is going to get someone to know what they actually need to do, and to be frank there are -WAY- more people that don't even bother using them that we can't tell what to do because "attacking healer" doesn't give detail in what you want them to do! You think they have a LB loaded up? What If I want them to use it on the DPS awhile we pressure the healer? Things like this drives PvP, negates the fact that we're being paired with silver/gold DPS/tanks, and can win games for someone with such strategy behind them!

It doesn't even help that you people put the -bare minimum- of this worthless pings for us to use! "I'm sorry!" "I'm being attacked!" "Help!" "Use adrenaline rush on melee DPS!" "Burst ready!" At the very least you could have added more instead of ignoring the relentless complains already made!

The wintraders, how I've heard of them being around for -years- and losing hard fought rank for them to GET REWARDED AT THE END OF THE SEASON WITHOUT ANY PUNISHMENT. YOU PEOPLE ARE -ACTUALLY- ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN?!

SHAME! SHAME ON YOU. ABSOLUTE *SUPER ANGRY WORD* SHAME!!

Yea, that's it. I'm done. I'm just going to stick to pve and actively downplay this pvp system if it ever does come up. For everyone else stuck in platinum.

Good luck.

At least you can still get the weapon...not in this season though it seems. Well 400..there are players with over 1k matches and dont get past gold..

[Syrus_Draco]

I'm sure folks who win-trade feel zero shame in anything that they do. That was abandoned ages ago for them. No morality.

[Trinket]

It's unfortunate but the devs don't show any signs of revamping the matchmaking system, bringing chat back, or punishing wintraders.

[-IronWolf-]

I agree with every single thing you said.

I also gave up on the top 100 race, I couldn't stand a 30 minute queue that 90% of the time ended in defeat.

Now I just roam the primal datacenter matchmaking as a lvl 30 healer, because why the hell not.

Its a waste of time and money

I really wish the Devs would have a sit down and actually listen to the players. I think the biggest issue PvP faces in this game is the netcode. The 3 second server tick that updates player positions and casts and all that mess is such a hindrance unless you're working with 90 or less ping. I almost can't play any melee class since I have been blessed with 150+ ping at any given time.

Why is their excuse for things like this always "it's there to help prevent cheating", and yet, people are cheating and excelling at it and not being punished. This PvP system needs a rework starting at the foundation of the game. It's 2017, it's time to get rid of the 3 second server tick and join the rest of the MMO world in 65+hz server ticks. Please.

Oh I know that much, that was actually more for the dev's/GMs that apperently don't give a *angry word* about it for how long it's been going on.

It's amazing that they want to get new people into pvp and yet they get the pleasure of facing such people head on.

At least you can still get the weapon...not in this season though it seems. Well 400..there are players with over 1k matches and dont get past gold..

A title and -maybe- a weapon, we'll at least see if they give enough tickets to make this broken insanity worth it for this rank. *Shrug* My first (and only) pvp season, so I don't know how many weapons each rank would be able to get.

[Korihu]

Dang I was mildly sad I couldn't pm you last night about how ranged should pick up Defense buff since I'm not on your server haha >< I remember going nuts trying to deorbit you to it that I had let the melee die woops. (And then the tank nice job spammed me while not letting out a single TBN *cry*)

Oh well, best of luck with your future endeavours \o/

Wintrading been a plague to pvp for every mmo.
