Someone brought this up about 1 month ago - it could use more discussion because the idea was pretty darn good.
I would think that this would only apply to level 60 matches because that is where the most imbalance is. It may be divided by Gear Score in a method that could go something like this:
- 1000-2000
- 2500-3500
- 4000-5000
- 5500-6500
- 7000-8000
- 8500-9500
- 10,000-10,500
- 11,000-11,500
- 12,000-12,500
- 13,000-13,500
- 14,000-14,500
The only problem I see with this idea is: Queue times may be longer because of the refined matchmaking process. As it is now, if 100 people are PvP'ing, they have that pool of players to be matched with. This system may divide those 100 people up into several Gear Score groups where they're with similar gear score players, reducing the amount of players available to play with them, thus making Queue times much longer.
Any suggestions ?

Any range
5,000-7,000
7000-9,000
9,000-11,000
11,000+
yeaa, it would be great that way because with my 7.5k GS I'm usually pwnd in 2 hits
You get put into a queue with other people/teams with a similar score.
The score is determined by the same factors as your 'Gear Score'. I hope they take into account enchntments too though.
How do you increase your "Ranking Score"? By kills, matches won ?
If you start putting 7000gs with 9500gs someone is better geared.
11,000+ - someone could be 11,038 and the next 13k?
Also as people have said, you could just havea slightly fake GS anyway, to be lower than you are..
just to many varibles which is the same as it is now, so i don't see how it really helps?
Toons:
New: CW Level 60
GF = Level 60
DC = Level 60
TR = Level 60
Easiest way woudl be an ELO ranking dependent on individual and team wins:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
similar to what they use in League Of Legends and chess.
Then, like with lockboxes, if you go the route of random chance and actually do it as a pug, you shouldn't complain at all about the outcome because you went in KNOWING it was random and you have the alternative to balance it. However, right now, there is no alternative - challenge matches and private queues. PLEASE.

2. put on some greens
3. queue for PvP
4. accept invite
5. equip your 12k GS gear
6. ???
7. PROFIT!
Make it so you cannot change gear AFTER you Queue for a match. Simple.
I posted to see if we could find a way to make it work.
Which queues are those?

Not trying to be an A$$ or anything I really am wondering how lvl 60s even new 60s cant get a better gear score than that because at 60 I was able to kit out to 10.5 just by going to the AH and gearing up with what I made as I leveled up?

Some people spend AD on professions, try to farm their gear, or are not willing to spend alot of AD on something they can farm( and only purchase if it's cheap).
As fot the GS for PvP queues, I say no, it's more the overpowered enchants then GS related. Maybe just disable any and all enchants (not runestones though) for PvP.
Lol, I have 2 weapons: one with lightning to seek out rogues and one with vorpal, if there are no rogues in match. So you want to forbid me switch my weapons to maximize my efficiency?
if someone with low GS can win from higher GS people.. why not?
if he can't he will be put back to a previous rank after losing xx matches
Also get stats tracking for kill/death/assist, caps, points, disconnects(punish if they happen too frequent)
I think its time for you to grow up and start playing. I have 9.8k GS on my CW and I pwn people who are 12-13k GS. I dont see where is the problem here. Learn to play, learn from your mistakes and try to perform better. Rating/seperate queue systems wount save your **** *** from being pwned. It will be just in like LoL - in bronze divisions have way better players than in gold divisions. Explaining: some lower GS players are way better than most of the high gs players.
Word!
