This happens to me a lot I mostly solo queue because most people I play with quit or timezone/work differences. They were a full premade btw. There also isn't a secret society of people buying other accounts playing on rabbits it is extremely rare

GW2 PvP
Good things:
- Tournaments
- Necessitates communication
- Necessitates individual skill
- Necessitates knowledge/ understanding of all classes/ builds and roles
- Can relatively easily switch builds/ gears/ class (though templates would be lovely)
- Allows you to progress; Leaderboards, as a player, as a certain class, at communication etc...
Bad things:
- SPvP
- RNG for gear
- Most maps suck
- There are objectives on most maps that are simply annoying
- There are too many hot-join heroes in soloq
- It's unfair to pit pre-made teams against randoms (I say this as someone who enjoys premade and soloq)
- It's un-rewarding to play the important builds in soloq (why run bunker? Not like you'll get any glory)
I think perhaps the worst thing about GW2 PvP is the ranking system. I've seen rank 50s who suck ass and rank 10s who have been really quite good. I don't think rank should matter. I think your win/ loss ratio should dictate your rank not how many hours you spend in hot-join spamming skills against bad players in order to rank up.
Other than that, they simply need to offer more variety. I like GW2 PvP but I can see why a lot of people don't. Why aren't there 1v1s, 3v3s, 5v5s, GvGs, TDM, SDM, KoTH, CTF?
It's not as though these things would be hard to implement. I just don't see what anyone could possibly have against more variety as it would be optional content anyway.

Yes it is true rank doesn't mean much but when you get rank 1's on your team that type in chat what do i do then there is a problem...

So another month has passed, has anything changed for the better?
No nothing has changed and I wouldn't get your hopes up. Anet releases 1 patch a month which 99% of the time is a pve patch it's quite simple math.
I constantly get pitted against full premades consecutively with a pug. It seems the matchmaker doesn't like putting a premade up against another premade. I don't get how anet thinks this is fair and there wasn't a lack of players because this was during the busy hours. 3 different premades yet the system can't match these premades against each other. Then there are the leavers/afkers but lets not punish them at all
