Domination woes

Why do the devs even allow players to join solo knowing 9 out of 10 matches will be blowouts in favor of premades.
What sucks is when i run premade im bored to death 9 outa 10 matches are total blowouts.
Any hardcore premade has got to be at their wits end with easy non challenging matches watching their score on the leaderboard go down when they win.
So either way its just broken mechanics.
separate the queues.
or admit you cant.
I would have to say as it is if my team wins its a blowout 90% of the time and we stand around waiting for the game to end.
and if we loose its a blowout 90% of the time and we stand around waiting for the game to end.
Lots of standing around waiting for the game to end
This cant be what was intended because this blows.

I think the devs have listened enough to the 10% of the playerbase that PVPs, every class balance changes is driven by that 10%.
OP I think they should raise the matchmaking gauge to be more accurate on players ranking so it takes longer for players to get a match, right? This way you can queue for an hour and wait until opponents of your ranking get online so you can fight them or they could leave it as it is and you get 5 blow out match, with 50% chance that one of them will be an interesting match up, in that 1 hour.
Ok so you would prefer that they would raise the gauges on the match making system so that you only get 1 well ranked match an hour, one of the few, because when they implemented the elo and the matchmaking system ppl were crying out about 35 minute queue time.
The problem is the pvp player base is a small % of players in itself, the bad players, campers, etc, you get in your matches are non-pvpers doing dailies. Unless they make pvp more attractive to non-pvpers they will never care and never try to get better.
Its catering to the elite premades(the minority) and leaving everyone else(the majority) in the cold.
This just leads to a decline in players participation.til eventually its just the skeletal remains of what could have been a great pvp game.
catering to the minority is bad business.
What do you mean?
I had rank 10s and perfects 3 weeks after the game went out of Beta.
The intended way is charging Zen, selling it for AD on the ZAX, and buying the lowest priced item that you need on the AH, or creating it yourself. I know people that don't even care about money and buy the highest price items from Zen Store just to click less times for refining.
So I'm quite sorry, this might be a "free" game, but it is NOT intended for you to not pay in it. The game is obviously trying at any step to let you know buying Zen is the way to go, and not Free to Play farming, which would take years.
And BiS people will never drop their gear lol?!? Are you throwing your clothes and furniture out the window IRL? No? Virtual ggods are still goods and we paid good money for them.
It's the easiest solution, but no one likes it.
If you introduce a 2nd queue (with better rewards) for pre-meades all bad players will form a pre-made in hope of getting another looser group and win the better reward.
The original single Q PvP PuG will starve to a silent death, leaving you where you started off in the first place, only that you wasted a lot of dev time that could (or might) have been better employed elsewhere.
But now you still encounter bad groups 'cause matchmaking sucks.
There is a big change coming. Stop your wining and read the forums! Join the groups on preview.
or
solo join pug pvp
and neither the twain shall meet
(And something like an arena / thunder dome where two enter, only one walks out, the other rez at the rez circle. - i. e. dueling 1v1 )
Probably have to zero the leaderboard prior, which wouldn't be much of a loss, unrelated as it is to reality.
Idea: (Mostly for newbie pvp...try before you buy)
1. Separate Vendor with level cap. Those that are level 60 cannot speak to the vendor.
2. Bound to character.
3. Temporary weapon enchants have a limit. Can only purchase one of each.
4. Put them on the zen market for all to use. Temporary Armor and Weapon Enchant bundle or piece by piece. Think of how many people would like to try before they go on the AH to buy
What this will do is also introduce new players to the ins and outs of these types of enchants so they can find their favorite when they reach level 60. Most people swear by Perfect Vorpal, Greater Plaguefire. Some people may find that they've found their niche with another weapon enchantment instead if they were given the luxury of trying them out.
How many people here would like this option? If yes explain why. If not explain why.)
