    Please dont... I get the idea behind it and also the frustration there, but first off: This is the first week for this mode, people are still learning.

    And second... I feel that all those PvP-mounts should be rewards for good playing - yes, I realize that there are 23 annoying adds on your side, trying to hurt you just as much as the 24 people you want to kill. But those achievments are an incentive for potentially everyone to give their best and win. You can also try to influence those 23 adds by giving orders - sometimes they'll follow, sometimes they dont, thats true. But I've seen matches turned around and won after one person spoke up and took the leading position.
    We've had so many problems with people afking for exp, because wether or not you won the game didnt matter. We dont need more people afking to get those mounts.

    And third: This is the first week of this content and maybe you're unlucky with groups right now, but thats gonna change. Once you're lucky - once you're not. Your proposed change would make it actually harder to eventually get the mount. You dont really believe yourself that 1.000 (or even 500) matches are more likely to be reached than 100 wins, do you?

    Thanks for the actually thoughtful and not salty and rude response.

    It just feels like its impossible to win more than one match out of maybe 20 right now. and at that rate, 1000 matches would be only 50 wins.

    They aren't. They literally are the same as what he asked, simply persisting in enough matches that you get 100 wins. It has nothing to do with how well you play or how poorly, because you win or lose based on the team. So you pretty much just have to keep doing it over and over till your win percentage gives enough wins. If it's 20%, thats 500 matches played.

    The only reason wins shouldn't be allowed is if we get the "pro" pvpers doing what they did in shatter and stacking one side with premades, forcing the other side to long-term low win percents.

    It's really hard to pull of premades in this one btw. Shatters you can easily but you are 4 per party here not 8. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Ironically enough, for maximum success you'd actually want to not be partied together because of how mechs work. Some people REALLY don't know how to use them well.

    Also if you think the mount is bad, I feel super sorry for the people who want the title. 1000 wins....I haven't even done much more than 1000 dungeons over 5 years.

    Yeah, pre-mades are more or less impossible since you have to queue as light parties and I think the language select is off for PvP (correct me if I'm wrong). So it is a lot harder for pre-mades to have a lot of influence in a match.

    That being said, having a good party holding mid the entire time denies the other team a ton of CE, and gives your team a ton, so one party can be extremely effective in that regard. But, that's also assuming the other team doesn't have a group that can at least hold mid somewhat well (heck, one game I and one person in my party held mid for a good minute or two against 6-10 enemies, harassing them to keep the generator from them until we got killed finally. That's massive in terms of CE produced/denied, and definitely helped us come back to win the match)
