This would make both RA and RA sync completely usurp TA.

/SIGNED!

The whole point of the transition is to knock a good RA team out of progressing too long. There's enough bias as is getting nowhere as you are thrown into zero/3-monk teams/otherwise bad mixes against the 10-consec-bound guys synced or not. No reason to exacerbate this problem further by also further diluting an already worthless title.

Remove Glad points from RA

Double Glad points in TA

Then I will fully get behind the OP's idea

And while we are at it, a reworking of TA with maps similar to costume brawl/hero battles would be nice.

I also support this idea.

Kill syncing first. This is the only real fix RA needs.

I would do it opposite way. After 5 wins > TA. If sync is fixed then I am fully in support of your idea.

/notsigned, you just want more rewards for less effort.

By the time you get 10 wins in RA, you are basically WTFpwning every team that you face (except for the time you run into another team with 7-9 wins). This would basically just allow an overpowered team to continue to steam roll RA and automatically get them more Glad points.

The point of sending those teams to TA is to get them out of RA, so you give other teams a chance (once a team has fought a few matches together, you understand your teammates bars and playing style and can adjust accordingly, but if you keep getting beaten by the 15+ win team, you never have a chance to adjust).

Well, even if sync wasnt fixed, 5 would just be pathetic becuase you would just get a good team and 1 gladiator point and you will hit TA in which you have no hope in winning.

Also, RA teams VS TA teams are so pathetic... a bad TA team could beat an RA team, and get free wins.

Yes, fixing syncing would be a great thing, that Anet could do. Anyways, most sync teams fight people in the asian districts (other sync teams) and not the american.

I m not destroying the move from RA -> TA, im expanding it to 20 so it will not be like an imba lucky RA team will keep winning RA for hundreds of games, its to 20, just 10 more.

Also, if you make 20 wins as an RA team, you have a higher chance in winning at TA, so it would make the RA vs TA team a little more fair (although the TA teams will probably still win)

/signed for separating RA and TA or a long delay before entering TA.

I don't think that this chance would be so much higher. Maybe a little higher merely for statistical reasons, but the difference between a random RA team (even if luckily well balanced) and an organized TA team will still be critical in most cases in my opinion, so i wouldn't consider this point as an advantage.

A part from this, i think that RA should be the place where to move the first steps into PvP (not including FA, JQ and AB), and to test new builds, or simply having fun. The right place where to grind glad points is TA in my view, so it's meaningless to increase the points earned in RA IMHO.

Fix Syncing
Reduce Wins needed to get a point

Right now it's bloody rediculous to get even 1 point with the amount of boneheads with crappy builds and internet connections. So many times just today it's happened and it's really REALLY putting me off playing, I just want r3 for the monument but it's like rubbing my face over a cheese grater...

i got my rank 3 gladiator very hardly, so i dont want to see nubs show the same title i gained in months

lilDeath · Aug 12, 2009, 08:46 PM // 20:46

I am 50/50 on this one. I know exactly what the OP means, 20 consecs would be good, but that promotes more syncing, but ye, 10 wins is just too little.
They must really fix syncing first, then

I agree..it's sad that RA is all about grind. Maybe this is connected with the difficult of bringing PvE players into PvP, who would learn the basics in RA and give some meaning to its existence..but this is clearly off-topic.

Enon · Aug 13, 2009, 12:48 PM // 12:48

I've recently started RA again and I must say, it's quite annoying to get kicked to TA after 10 wins with only 3 Glad points after getting lucky with a team which, lets be honest, only happens every so often.

Leaving out the syncing issue, which probably won't ever get fixed, I'm signing this. You'd still only get a total of 10 points if you're able to win 20 times, which seems more than fair.

You are saying RA was a failed attempt for another arena? I would say TA is a failed attempt because now all it is is 2-3 certain teams that meta eachother. The majority of the time in TA, you will fight a team that is exactly like you, and it all comes down to skill.

This is pathetic. GuildWars should have varieties of builds like in RA and not just the same old teams fighting eachother...

If you removed Glad Points from RA, basically the only reason you would play it (other than ZE) is for faction, and then all the RA people would migrate to TA, where even worse meta games are going to appear.

No thanks.

It will only encourage sincs, as there is more to be gained from it ...

superraptors · Aug 14, 2009, 12:44 AM // 00:44

compared to older glad point per 10 wins is faster then current point system

after the change to glad title , everyone got around 6 x the amount of glad points they got

meaning 1 point back then meant 6 points now

so if you make 10 wins in ra / ta that means 6 points for just 10 wins compared to now 10 wins 3 points

the gaining the glad title is twice as slow now unless you make up to 4 points per 5 wins

/notsigned only because this will increase the amount of syncers
