I’d like to lodge a complaint. I missed the 8:15 Shadow Behemoth meta because I was shunted into an overflow server with minutes to go. This absolutely should not happen this many months after launch. It’s inexcusable.

Find a way to stabilize the server populations so this kind of nonsense doesn’t happen again.

I missed it, then move over to Frostgorge Sound to fight Claw of Jormag and also missed him due to overflow.

The issue is guesting. Greedy guests selfishly stalk the times for other servers.

I do not believe this is a guesting problem. It is because of the buffs to the chests that all the “phat lootz” chasers are flocking to these events. This wasn’t a problem before the buff, even while guesting was active. Be in the zone when the events pop up or take a look at the timer and arrive early. Otherwise you miss out.

Part of the issue is guesting. The other part is the basically giving out the free rare loot. I know from behemoth Ive gotten 2 Final Rests in 8 attempts. That’s basically a free 30/40 gold in 8 kills. Not to mention that every dragon and several others basically give a free rare now every time you do it, so you’ll have LOADS of people just from your server going there, I mean, you’re there for the free rare, why not them? If you’re on a high pop server, a lot of the over flow issue is probably just because they have low server populations to save money, and too many people want their free 30s. Guesting I think only is a small part of it…

Then you’re in the wrong place, this is the suggestion forum, and granted most people tend to use this as their own personal cathartic-shouting-area but this is still the suggestion section and you’re not making a suggestion.
