Guild Wars 2

To promote class balance (the number of players of each class participating), I propose that any WvW queue prioritize the wait list based on class.

If there are way more warriors playing in WvW and you want to get on a map, bring out your Mesmer.

I don’t like the idea of a hard, class-based cap. I’d much rather see some “shaving” for the GWEN meta and a boost for large-group playstyles in the underplayed classes.

If this means 1 out of every 2 players isn’t a warrior or Mesmer I’m all for it….

Absolutely not. Rangers already get flak because they dare set foot in WvW when it’s capped. The last thing we need is ANet to establish concentration camps where only 2 Rangers are allowed on work release in EB at one given time.

No, Atherakhia what would happen is that rangers would be first in line (not first in first out) in WvW queues assuming they were the least populated class on the map.

Warriors, assuming they were the highest populated class on the map, would have to wait longer. They always could go to EOTM.

In other words, the queue would look at class scarcity versus just your position in line.

Not sure if it’s a good idea. It’s like saying to your playerbase “You wanna WvW? Go roll another class aside from Warrrior/Guardian.”

You wouldn’t be getting rid of warriors or guardians at all. You would reduce the rolling of new or FOTM warriors and guardians.

You would encourage warriors and guardians to sometimes play their other classes in WvW.

The rewards justify the decision. Playing against a diverse mix of classes is just more fun for everyone (and I imagine more fun for the warriors and guardians too).

When you see the group composition of wvw population go from about 10% warriors to about 30% warriors you’re doing something wrong balance wise (this probably has something to do with the 6.5 months of buffing they got)
When you see 95% of your class population start using one specific heal you’re doing something wrong balance wise.

These clowns…lol
