the system is bad, i dont deny that, i also cant wait for soloq just to make it clear.
but lfg doesnt work like that, ofc if you have 3k exp and you link it in lfg, you will get a similar exp mate which makes it easier, but in the normal way, if you are 1.8k exp, you get an 1.8k exp m8, climb to lets say 1.9k, then the next day, you will invite an 1.9k guy and this is how you climb, its slow, and with the ppl attitude nowadays probably triggering a bit, but its not impossible.
im not trying to deny the fact that lfg system is bad which btw just half true bcz its the players making it bad but lets stick to the topic, im saying that if you really wanna climb, and i guess you really want to bcz its your 500th post, then theres a way, its slow and meh, but its not impossible, waiting for a magical solution is not the best way to handle these things
If you are solo and want to climb fast you play healer, if you play dps you have friends to play with and thats just how it is with this lfg
And some people have more advantages to climb faster with this system than others even if they would be on equal skill level example
Matter of topic was about op facing too many glad mounts to his likeing chargeing from the lobby on 1800mmr at them
Maybe one of them were gaining his own glad achievement playing with friends on alts on 1800mmr after he had reached 2400 first in 3s and then proceeds to farm the 50 wins on severely lower ratings like 1600-1800 example
I literally got denied on 2k cr with 2,1k+ xp because 2,1k+ xp (in every season) is apparently too low for 2k cr.
So, no… it does not give you any advantage.
Imagine you are playing on 1600 when example two r1 happen there other with full max gear before they sky rocket to higher mmr and boost the alt to higher gears, the friend is max gear ofc so his not only skill wise massively ahead of the rating they playing on just like his friend on the alt
This is the worst scenario with this system but its affects is pretty noticeable playing against multiple glads for this season on low rating aswel like the op had found out and this post was inspirated from
Obviously terrible matchmaking system we have for game trying be competitive
To put in simple terms its same if we would put 4x weight class differences go against on a fight and call it sport, or uefa champions league team go against kids team playing football on school yard and then the champions league team would be rewarded for it
Dont think theres anyone in their right mind or who is not biased about this that thinks the pvp system in wow is even remotely good
Its just stupid, theres nothing to say to defend this system on game that has multiple levels of gear and then the gear is tied on brachets that can be played like this
Even with glad actually, because ‘’ glad is s2 is a joke’’.
But actually every season since arena is up something was so broken so people abused it to get carried.
If you don’ t have a fl full of glad/r1 like all streamer you can’t play the game rn :s
ok so its bad, i think a proper feedback would be to suggest something right? so please tell me what system can prevent boosting?
the answer is non, theres boosting in every single pvp multiplayer game, lol,dota,csgo,valorant etc etc. the main difference between these games and wow is the difficulty to buy a boost, in any other game you dont have an ingame tradeable currency to trade for ingame services, so obviously they pay real money and thats what makes boosting less common in any other game, bcz there are some ppl who throw money but majority wont spend real money for a boost especially bcz prices are insane.
and then here we are in wow, you can buy boost for gold which is an ingame FARMABLE currency, ofc a lot of ppl buy boost what do they lose? nothing.
if you ask me personally, i wouldnt change the system, i’d change blizzard TOS and make gold boosts bannable just like rmt, ofc still some ppl will do it just like they do rmt now, but majority will be scared to lose their account and that would make a big difference
Why? Personally i enjoyed practising and improving with friends and reaching somewhat high mmr at some point. Why can’t you just get a friend and play to improve? Why would you need someone experienced with you? Personally i would feel bad if i got carried by someone with way higher exp than me (well i actually feel kinda bad 24/7 since im getting boosted in every game i play with friends).
Imo the move is to get lucky and make a friend to play with and not replacing everyone every 100 cr.
Easy. As soon as they see someone drop 500 rating in an hour, investigate and punish.
They should also do something about ppl and their 5 alts being r1 in the same season, it’s beyond absurd.
I happened to watch a pikaboo video earlier where he took a dump on a lock and said ‘‘unlucky for him, he almost had 1800.’’ I can tell you now that it’s honestly exhausting to play against a multi rank 1 player boosting someone on 1700 rating and calling it ‘‘unlucky for that guy’’.
Boosting and smurfing is bad in any game, and it would be much appreciated if they did something about it. Tho besides ppl dropping alot of rating fast, I wouldn’t know how to actually spot it.
so for this we have 2 option, doing it manually, or code a system that doing it automatically, both wrong.
the manual part well… i dont i have to explain it, it would be an insane amount of work or more like impossible to check these manually with this amount of player.
and the automated part, it CAN work,on paper, but the code wont make a difference between a booster or just someone with a bad streak, so bans would fly left and right and then obviously some1 need to manually check if its a booster or just a mistaken bann which again just like the 1st option… impossible amount of work.
and i know some ppl will figure out something like the script checks the persons arena exp etc etc so if a 3k player drop 500 rating to 1.7k thats an obvious booster right? ye on paper its a good idea but in reality the game is so metabased in the past years that someone can have 3k exp in sl s1 and stuck 2.1k in next season just bcz either he got that 3k by playing something broken+inflation or his class is just unplayable in next season…
so again, theres no good option to bann booster, thats why i think not allowing boost in the first place (for gold) can help and solve part of the problem.
I waste way too much effort and time on just getting the game going or to have some chance of success to achieve something there that my time to be taken away like that yeah I would alt f4 for rest of day
Its just inceing on cake which is mountain of things that im annoyed about playing this wows pvp system and on shadowlands in general, I think many people think same
Dude trust me I play in lfg since s1 legion and never found anyone beside a rogue to q often.
For whatever reason, when we get good q session people invite me but never ever want to play anymore.
I don’t have that much time to play anymore rn so it’s even more rough when you can play 1h30 per dya and sit 30 min in lfg overall.
Imagine I never even ask for exp or cr, it’s still hard to find somebody.
Its ok at 2k MMR theres blizzcon finalists and multi rank 1 glads just sitting around, its disgusting how badly scuffed this game is and the rating is abysmal to deal with since people are very much out of place from where they should be rating wise currently.
Youre losing because you see the glad mounts and think its over. To be honest, its safe to assume they paid for a boost for the mount, so nothing to worry about. Just wreck them.
I reached 2k as demo in S2 with survival hunter and holy priest. But this season we didn’t get higher than 1500… we didn’t change anything except now I’m trying it with Affliction but nothing changed. And no i won’t play destruction, for me it is to less button to press.
I think the 2k was because of the long season, but we had s lot of time in 1800. So i thought in S3 i would at least play on 1800…
We are still working on strategies against fury, they kill me really fast.
Not sure who you were adressing but I see you have 1500 for this season on one character no less and with 80 games total for season
This post was about playing on 1800mmr afaik
Even if you meant well not sure you are aware on what goes on at the mmr the post were about and where ppl were pushing for their rivals at the time this post were made
People have thousands of games played so far on their alts and mains combined on this mmr the topic were about, not sure you have the expertise to comment on it from one challenger with 80 games played so far on your account
~2k during inflation is basically ~1,5 - 1,6k now. But you realized yourself that you could play higher, you just choose not to. You even have several options, like improving and play better or just swap to an easier spec.
