I believe it was the 10th win for the other 3, so they left since the next game will be in TA. You get no opposing party because hardly anyone enters battle in TA without a team.

But seeing as he/she is on 9 wins, wouldn't the server allocate them to a RA team?

That would be a good option, but unfortunately GW doesnt do that. Whoever on your RA team has the most wins is how many you also have towards your progress to TA.

IMO after 10 wins you should just be allowed to stay in RA.

get 3 friends to enter a three way team in TA. you should be teamed up with them.

edit; you have no defensive set. don't deserve the glad anyways, imo. :P

You're logic is infallible, basically, you don't know how to play the game 'properly' so you should not be allowed to/ get rewards from playing it.

Tell me, the first time you played a PvP game, did you have a defensive/alt set? The first time you won did you have another set?

Yes. It's not until after your 10th win that you are sent to TA. Personally, I like RA. It's a great place for you to be able to jump in and play a quick round or two, pick up some easy Balth faction and maybe a Glad point or two.

OP - Sorry about that. At least you got one Glad point. Remember, you get one after 5 wins now, but yeah, 10 would have given you even more.

Very possible they got their 10-win streak and left the group.

May I ask why you blacked your build??

You may only enter RA with FoW armour cause tis the best arm0ur and looks uber, and you must have tormented weapons cause its like pressing the 'Win' button. Also, if you dont have all 4 weapon sets used, you are not allowed to enter RA.

Random Arena IS serious business.... not.

That's why GW PvP sucks, It's been repopulated by players with skills but no balls, and who need Anet to do all the work for them.

What happened to the time when players would play through until they lost, even if it meant going to the TA, I guess those days are gone?

When was that? During the Beta test? I'm not flaming you Chris, but I've been playing RA for a long time too and it's always full of quitters...at least since I've been playing. I think Lorde was spot on. The OP probably joined this group after they'd already had a drop out and they'd gotten their10th win, so they bolted. It happens all the time in RA. For some reason, people drop after that 10th win becasue they don't want to face a TA team (which, btw, are often pretty lousy themselves).

from when i play RA (not so often), and from facing (supposdly) RA teams in TA; they all seem to be full offensive only. there's hardly ever a monk or support char in the groups -- and once one leaves the rest leaves too.

however, there's still a couple of teams going to Ta after Ra (and even having success from what i heard :P).

maybe they should hand out more gladpoints for RA teams in TA? a little bit extra, takes more skill to beat coordinated teams anyways. might as well raise the reward -- i'm sure nobody would mind.

My guess - because this is a GW fansite.
Come on it only took ... what ... 5 posts for a person to fail to understand a joke and the whole thing derailed.
IF the dude posted the build - this would have happened after the 2dn or 3rd post!


(PLUS Mending is prolly on it. Which was the reason why the team left )

Edit: Ohh crap! Must be some uber haxxor to have Mending on Me/E .......
I guess this was MY contribution to this thread ...

Happened to me 2 times too(when u only got points on the 10th win), didn't made a big deal out of it, considering it doesn't happen all that much and it's RA...

Talk about 9 consecutive wins in RA....

I just had to ask, because I've so many experience of lagging really badly on the number 10 game that the whole team that has won 9 consecutive wins, just die cos of lag?

tell me is it a prank by ANet?

Odd that you did not get 3 new party members.

This points at still existing design flaws - that actually only exist since they came up with gladiator points.

People leave upon entering TA or have little chances versus specialized teams.

So why force entering TA after 10 wins? Just "shuffle" players again once a team member got 5 or 10 wins in a row. New team, but still a chance to continue the winning streak.

Occasionally I still get a team that will try winning in TA's but if anyone leaves than I leave to avoid what happened to the op. But I've went on to get additional glad points in the TA's before. Not sure why everyone thinks thats so impossible. It might be harder sure, but 5 wins = 3 glad points if you make it to the TA's. Its worth a shot at least.

I think that allowing more glad points for RA teams in TA is a good idea on paper, if you think about it all it would do is make EVEN MORE people try to synch in RA.

aaaaand syncing isn't really that common anymore, now is it? :P

(havn't been to ID RA in ages, so..don't mind me if it's the case)

how about just double faction then? not like keys matter a lot.

It's so much fun when you get a group capable of pwning those SOJ sins in the face. As a side note, how can anyone play 3 caster sins + monk and lose to a random team...

I always move up to TA if my team doesn't quit. It's kinda fun, especially when you can come up with a few wins. Really, though, most RA teams lose pretty quick in TA. Who the hell are you that you're so busy that you don't have 10 minutes to spare?

Half the teams in TA come from RA. They like to repeatedly announce it in local chat for some reason.
