A new fantastic point of view

This is a long post, the basic point is: It would be nice that 1x a month WvW matchups were randomized to remove the staleness and allow hardcore WvWers a break.

World vs. World can get rather stale because the match-ups do not vary much from week to week. I propose that every so many weeks(maybe once a month) a non-rated week is played. This week would involve randomly pairing up 3 servers and handicapping or buffing each server based on its tier. The buff could come in the form of health(like during the breakout event) or level variation(each tier is down/up leveled to a certain level with the last tier up leveled to 80).

This non-rated week would allow commanders to relax or work on some new tactics. Guilds could also train newer WvWers. This week would also rotate in new people and dedicated WvW people could take a break and do more sPvP or PvE.
There are also some commanders out there that get really stressed out by WvW and this would allow them to relax. Guild Wars 2 is just a game, but not every gamer treats it that way.

This non-rated week would also allow for a break from the stale ever-constant matchups that we currently have. The website shows the progression of WvW ratings for each server. Before they announced that free transfers were ending, most the brackets were stale and I think that we will get back to that state and possibly have an even more stale state because who is going to pay to move their whole guild from one server to another.

Another benefit is that is a time when patches and changes could be tested World vs. World ratings being drastically affected.

It would also be possibly fun to have matchups that are 2v2v2. This would require better culling and raised caps that week.

Thank you to anyone who got my title/first line reference.
