Sooner people understand this, the better.

After all of the double fame weekends that have come and passed, somebody who hardly does any PvP could have r6/7+ if they had the money for it.
There are always exceptions that prove the rule.

I no longer have respect for high ranking players unless I know who they are and can verify. I've seen far too many r9+ noobs with obviously bought accounts.

You don't need to buy accounts to be r9 and bad, there a LOT of bad r9 players. Most of them actually.

Hasn't this been discussed over 9000 times already btw?

Unranked HA? It's called RA.

I was r1 before the weekend and r3 now, one of the things that really helpt me getting into pugs was my glad title (r2)
I met alot of friendly r3/r4 people and they still ask me for HA.
Another tip i could give you (preparing to be flamed), run hway
its the teambuild that gives the most chance with a unranked group and is the easiest to farm the first lvl (uw)

A last tip: don't start with pvp doing HA (unless you have some ranked friends, that can get you into groups) start with ra get glad 1 and do some gimmicky build during double weekend,most unranked groups won't rage quit so you can farm the first 1-3 lvls pretty quick and easy

Although I agree that a lot of players mistakingly equate rank with skill, I think an unranked HA will just kill the fun in HA all together.

WOW Flame City. This is what separates the men from the boys.

I think I should go there and start some non ranked groups, get a few beers and have some fun.

This is a ridiculous idea.

Anyone who thinks that rank is completely meaningless is an imbecile.

Studies have shown that 87.2% of mending riposte wammos believe rank is completely meaningless and that they are just as good as "high ranked" players but were just never given the chance.

71.4% of the people who think rank is completely meaningless also think that team builds are overrated and 1v1 builds is the way to go for succeeding in HA.

65.8% of unranked monks believe they are as good as r12 monks in terms of play ability and knowledge of HA, but when confronted with "how do you open the gates in antechambers" none of them knew the answer.

First Don't flame about being a PvP noob and dont make this thread, you can always join r3 groups, those are kind and dont care if you have know rank, even when I have a r8 title WE ALL STARTED OUT AS NUBS AND HAD TO GET UP THROUGH RUNNING SWAY (at one point in time)etc. So do not come making a thread and flaming that ranks arent important. Ill tell you sumthing try running rspike rangers r3+ (rangers can be good) but the difference in rank can be seen through the monks, the r3 monks will not know how to infuse, will not have vent, and will not know the buidls and keep asking for them. However, in r8+ WHILE the frontline may be the same just bashing and hacking (smart frontline will bodyblock) the midline and backline will BE O SO different from r3 groups! Ill tell you what Ive been almost every type of group. r3 sometimes are excellent and get you to halls but most of the time the monks PLAIN SUCK, r6 groups are okay they don't know how to bodyblock, not too good at calling, and dont like using vent. R9+ groups are very picky but are nice if you get used to it, they expect you to get a build when they ping it and get on vent fast (which shuld not be a problem if you have played pvp many times), I sometimes run with r10-12+ and I just don't like them because they like to swear on vent, and enjoy DISBANDING AFTER one run. SO yep, thats all their is, don't flame AND MAKE UR WAY UP THROUGH R3, THEN GRADUALLY GET BETTER, PVP IS LIKE PVE it requires DEDICATION, you cant just go in without any sort of title and join a group JUST LIKE DOA IN PVE U CANT WALK IN AND RUN URSANWAY WITH PROS WITH HAVING A HIGH NORN RANK!!!!!!

p.s ursan wuz nerfed btw =P

And that is EXACTLY how you need to do it.

RA to learn that PvP is different form PvE
Learn The crap gimmick meta HWay, beacuse it's easy and your best chance of getting a group
Make friends.
Practice

Once your rank is higher, you've unlocked more skills, and you've learn the maps and basics of HA, move n to better builds and really win. You can't walk in at "zero" fame and think your going to win HoH.

Nothing is going to get handed to you in PvP you have to earn it, sort of, with time and effort, not by QQing that things are unfair.

Divine where did you get your numbers? My numbers show 89.7% of reposite Wammos.

1. Good players never had to run Sway or any other gimmicks to get where they are today.
2. Don't encourage bad players to gain thier rank through playing crap builds..the end results is a rank 3 player with as much skill as a rankless player.
3. Your return key is broken.

Threads complaining about rank aren't constructive, and the topic has been beaten to death. Closed.
