I'm still questioning the necessity of freezing the ladder for what looks to be a simple AT scheduling bug.
Also, why has there not been some kind of announcement about it yet?

could have something to do with the short staff they keep at this time of the year.....but yeah they should have someone looking at it by now.

I'm not even sure they noticed the bug yet , but i hope it will be fixed fast , considering GvG was maybe the only competitive format left >>

Seems really unorthodox for something like this to happen with no announcement or notice at all.

I wouldn't mind a complimentary reset or anything, this historic ladder thing is getting old fast and you have to admit that the ladder is more active now than it was before, matches almost instantly.
But tbh they could decide to keep the ladder frozen since you know, it's 'broken' and the way Anet deals with broken things is remove them from the game...
Grand Theft Ecto
Playing gvg on ladder is +0 and -0
Playing Automated Tournaments still has the k value of 25 and rating (and rank) is changed, these also still award reward points and qualifier points.
Balthazar faction and wintersday gifts are awarded in both ladder and ATs.
Champion points are not awarded in ladder nor in ATs.
So this frozen ladder would seem like either a fix to stop syncing, it certainly works, or an accident. Unless people are syncing to get wintersday gifts, then its a fail on both sides.
Find this a silly solution.

On topic though, it actually does seem that a bug is likely, but then again who knows, right? It could be that they're on vacation time and just said, " **** it, GW1 is dead anyway, and we're no longer raking in any money from it, sooooo........... yeeeaaaa....... /care".

Wow, no response on this still? You'd think this would be a top priority issue.
Good to see that nothing's changed in my absence.

Still Number One
We did such a good job at getting the community involved and interested in GvG, so A.Net decided to do thier part and eliminate rank discrimination in GvG once and for all!!!

Ladder unfrozen.
lemming
Still no statement, though, not even off the record.
Artisan Archer
I've been told it was frozen last year as well? Maybe just some code they forgot to turn off?

We are waiting for answers, or at the very least some sort of acknowledgment.

DTC and cOre decided to play silly builds on an unfrozen ladder yes.
A1: lots of complaints about botting
A2: no response from Anet
R: surprise update with a huge fix and CR bombardment
B1: seemingly random ladder freeze, with 'achievement service disabled', complaints
B2: no response from Anet
R: ?
Even though A doesn't equal B, one can hope!

In both cases the effects are quite major, and the lack of information is odd. We'll see what happens.

There was a bug with the ladder in the ATs, and it has been corrected according to our server team. We're sorry about the confusion and inconvenience.

Do you have any further explanation of what happened?
