It took 11 tries to win a PvP Domination match today. Holy... Freakin'... Cow...

Today was the worst day I had in my entire PvP history. But, I finally won one. 2 more Seals of Triumph and I get my new Talisman! xD Boo-yaa!

    Congrats!

    And yes, sometimes it takes a little longer, but you will have also days where you login and get something like 4-5 victories in a row easily.

    Thinking about it, I do not think I ever had 11 losses in a row, but I honestly cannot say if I ever had 11 victories either. I think I do notice a losing streak more easily than a winning streak, because a winning streak gets me too satisfied with myself and I start doing a dungeon instead, whereas a losing streak encourages me to get at least one victory in (and only to get the seal).
    Stay frosty.

    In how many of those matches did your teammates sit at the campfire making you go 1v5? That's what happens to me on most of my losses. I even had someone get mad at me today for not sitting at the fire.

    That happens a lot to me too. When it's obviously hopeless for a win, I keep fighting to amass lots of deaths trying to unlock higher level titles for the "Immortal".

    My worst losses are when that ONE PERSON on the team keeps yelling how their team is a bunch of "inexperience stupid people with low GS" let's call it. Then they explain whom needs to go respect what, or what gear to change. That one person often says rude things in zone chat too.

    Other losses include vs a PvP team whom has forgotten what politeness and chivalry is.

    Happens in every online game, ever. They're usually the first ones to ragequit too. If they're not roflstomping noobs, what's the point?

    Let's not be fast to conclusions. Matchmaking in this game is almost a complete failure. I used to like pugging alone, especially on my GWF and TR. But after the matchmaking was introduced, if I try this, I will be matched with 3-4 people with r5s and no weapon and armor enchants. Then I go down from spawn to discover the other team is full of Perfects?

    Of course I get angry. No amount of skill (don't expect any from r5 players however) will make you succeed against people with R8s and Perfects that PvP all day.

    So these days, I go mostly with a full premade. Sometimes maybe just 2-3 of us, but the probability that the matchmaking allocates us a complete failure player is so high, that I would rather avoid this.

    And we don't do it to stomp pugs.

    We do it cause we meet other premades often, and we get facerolled if our team has a weak spot.

    So don't be angry at the guy that calls out people that are not geared enough for PvP, but be angry at the failed matchmaking.

    The thing is, after the first victory there is no need for more. It's loss, loss, loss... win and stop. Ideally you lose three and win the fourth, completing three quests at once (Lord British, Rhix, Vendor blade guy)
