Guild Wars 2

My server is Tarnished Coast and we have been hit with a very large amount of guesting players. Naturally they all flock to the world events which creates so much lag that it’s impossible to play the game smoothly (server lag, not FPS). Since this is my home server I’m a little upset that I can’t even go to my own events without an extreme amount of lag.
With the patch that made doing the dragons and world events actually worth doing, the lag has only increased. My solution is a simple one and it would prevent people from double dipping the one-chest-per-day rule now.
Make rewards from world events bound to your home server. That’s it. So if I guest to Stormbluff Isle, I can still do the event but I will not receive any loot for it. This will force people to play on their home server if they want the rewards of dragons/temples/gates of arah/etc, while also discouraging guesters from flocking to these events and ruining the experience for everyone.
I hope this gets notice and eventually implemented because it does lag my entire server, even when I’m not in the zone where the event is happening.

I have seen this before, and made the remark before, but always in response to someone else’s stupid and pointless suggestion to do this that or the other thing that wouldn’t help. It’s nice to see the thread started with the only solution that would actually work and be reasonable. +1
