If you reach, say, the one of the first 3 positions in the tournament, you achieve a simple title, like a cup, that say that you have won the gold/silver/bronze medal in the febuary 2010 TA 5th league tournament, or something like that, and you are also allowed to register for the next TA 4th league tournament. The same thing happens for the other leagues etc.

I wonder if they will EVER introduce something that occurs monthly, like a tournament, thats probably automated in some way.... and that if you achieve first you win something gold, come in the next few teams and recieve something silver and if you come beneath that you win something bronze.... that would be AMAZING!

Ok, sorry for the sarcasm, was too tempting. In top top top top end GvG u do realise rank dosent matter? GvG is what im talking about, and you get in on reputation and how you play, NOT by your rank. No one cares about your rank, its how good you are that counts, how many gold 'medals' you have won and stuff.

I retract at least some of the sarcasm as there was a thing a while ago called the rawr cup, organised by rebel rising that actually did exactly that. They split it into 3 leagues and required people to enter into each one based on their experience, purely on good faith that you would apply to what was appropriate for your teams level. It worked very well actually. However.... this is gws and the devs have no time so are NOT gonna organise anything like this. GvG like this it could have worked a while ago, but not now. In HA its just not feasible. If your not ranked.... really you dont stand a a chance... go to my thread on How to get your 1 PvP title for your HoM, that will give ya some advice.

The point is, people are allowed to be elitist... im elitist in PvE too, because if your elitist then you win. And i know its a game and the point is to have fun not win.... but getting rick rolled in 20 seconds is fun?!?!? maybe for you, but not for me.

Also, i have an r2 second account, as do plenty of my mates... surely we could just go farm the low rank arenas solidily for days till we achieved a rank vaguely corresponding to our ability?

Oh to the people saying people wont stop discrimiating against rank... thats not the suggestions... the suggestion is that anet forces people to only face people of their rank... and as well as the reason mentioned above.... isnt gonna happen cos there arnt enough peoples.

/notsigned

and can we have some kinda closure thread to the whole PvP elitism issue....
I kinda think it should be.... its there, its not going anywhere, if you hate it, dont come to PvP, if you want to get revenge then do it in PvE when pvpers try to come to PvE (WTB 12323141 Ghastly stones.... lol not), but then quickly realising that pvpers are actually half decent at pve too :P

also to the dude that said it... there is a very fine line between quitting due to rank discrimination and quitting because of losing....

One important thing that should be done about this thread is to transplant it into the GW2 forum so that Anet would hopefully spend the effort to remove/change this system for ALL forms of organized PvP from the very beginning. In GW1 there's already too many people so entrenched in their R9++ that any effort to improve the system would result in massive uproar.

I find the idea that anyone who's only a R2 is somehow any worse than a R7 kinda silly. There are still people buying the game and giving it a try.
The ludicrous suggestion that someone experienced in doing EoE spikes back in 05, Zergway in 07, or SF spikes in 06 has any relevance in the current game is just stupidity.

As for getting the PvP title, between Z missions and farming the crap out of CMs and AB; get a bunch of Zkeys.
Or even sell an ultra rare mini for Zkeys as opposed to ectos.
Either way, you'll get the title if you really want it.

So if a "ladder" system "won't work", how bout if INDIVIDUAL fame (outside of any tournaments) worked kinda like experience?

Use the highest ranked player on each team as the benchmark & then the Individual players on the team gains fame based on the rank of the opponents benchmark. Earn 0 fame for winning matches more than 3 ranks below benchmark. Earn 1 fame for winning between 3 ranks below benchmrk & 3 ranks above benchmark. Earn 2 fame for winning matches 3 ranks above benchmark.

High ranked players could still play with low ranked freinds. Or would that just alienate the high ranked players?

Sorry, everyone. I would have closed this as soon as I saw it last night, but my internet wouldn't let me.

This has been suggested before.

Closed.
