Worlds are split. Some are exclusively pve (meaning that wvw suffers) and some are Wvw (meaning that pve is useless). ANet this needs to be resolved. Having a healthy population to play with in both pve and pvp is imperative. To fix this i suggest the abolition of pve servers. Instead maps should fill depending on number of players with districts being created to accommodate numbers. Or let people choose different pve and pvp affiliations. Really anything would be better than the current situation where i am forced to play only one type of content because of server demographics.

Switch to a different server. If you do not want to do that join a guild and work with them.

Your suggestion would have a number of negative side affects… ie the first person to tell their guild “Meta Event has started here” would then fill up that instance and other people who want to get it done but didn’t make it in time are thrown onto other instances where the Meta event isn’t going on. With the way it currently is there’s at least a chance to participate – I wouldn’t like being blocked out of many future events because I tried to load into the zone 3 characters to late.

Truth be told it wouldn’t even have to be a Meta event – if all the servers had access to the same instances and Orr farming becomes the thing to do again (because people won’t NEED ascended gear forever you know) how likely would I be able to play with my friends? Most all those instances would be full again and ever increasing overflow issues reoccur.

The best solution to this problem simply is to find a server that works for you – once everyone does that things will balance out and worlds that aren’t being utilized will be merged. Rather than complain through a flawed suggestion just do a transfer while they’re still free…

absolutely agree with this. i’m so tired of empty zones that if i leave LA its for a dungeon or run ori… if it stays like that i will never make another character.

Honestly the OP post got NOTHING to do with ganking.

What OP means is to make an overflow only game , no 1 server , but you join always a zone in overflow , this would make zones more populated since they would fill with players and then create a overflow and so on.

To implement this idea actually require a lot of work , but im tired to explain the implications myself.

The second idea was to make PvE and WvW affiliations different , this way a player can join a server for each preference , like a PvE JQ and WvW SBI.

About the account thing , really dont waste your time creating them , just give Anet the money and im sure they will discuss with you about adding it. Money is the focus.

There is no reason for ANet to change something that isn’t broken (your having selected an incorrect server for your personal gameplay style does not qualify as a system-wide malfunction/disruption).

You are allotted one free server transfer per week. Do a bit of research and find a server that fits your particular tastes – in this case, I’d recommend examining some of the servers ranked highest in WvWvW.

False. Server Demographics have nothing to do with how one plays . The fact you feel that way says a lot more about you than it does about the game itself . Segregation is never a good idea .

Still disagree. They already ruined PvE with introduction of FotM and made big split in population and negative feelings towards the game. This would make game even more repulsive to many.

In original post where he clearly says “abolition of pve server”. This is clearly FORSING players to play different. Nothing is solved by force. I personally think PvE in GW2 is great as it encourages unity among players where PvP only players see it as lame/boring/noobish. If you look on the forums there is a lot of talk about improving of PvE part as it is. GW2 is game for everybody. There is PvE separated content from SPvP and WvW. So far, SPvP seems better done than others as it is smaller and less time consuming to make. What would I suggest to have WvW with PvE elements so it would make game in a game where players could have all the features of PvE in PvP environment. This includes larger map, quests in personal story manner and so on. Also, it should be great to allow greater population in WvW. I think that is the proper way to do it. Not to destroy what is good.

Maybe original post doesn’t have anything to do with ganking but it is sure thing to happen and MANY players enjoy that thus even small groups can frustrate large number of people. Don’t tell me you don’t know how it is, it is always the same in every other game where open world PvP is introduced.

Honestly , i dont get what people are talking about destroying the PvE map. Actually very little would change from now if well made , if it is just an overflow system.

So , does PvE become worse because people are in overflow? I dont really mind it , and it would help player on the very low population zones find others to do DEs and such.

It would destroy the PvE server not because of PvP , it would do so because now you are not playing in server X now. You are in a overflow , that is all. You dont belong to any server, and thus the whole idea of the PvE server is destroyed.

The game itself , changes nothing.

That is the first idea. On the Second one , yes , it would change the way WvW and PvE “work”. While not really changing much.

Players could pick to join one server and from there join different WvWs teams. Again , dont see great importance on this change.

Honestly , i play on a very populated server with a 500 man guild , i dont suffer from these problems at all , what im doing is trying to explain cause it seems most people simple do not get it.

So your suggestion then is to force people to pvp because that’s what you want.

I and a ton of others would quit outright to such a change.

I have moved beyond PvP and have zero interest in doing it.

As it is the OPs request will go no where since the game was designed from day 1 to fit the playing styles of several different types of playing styles.

The PvE areas are huge compared to the PvP areas of this game. This tells you who the main customer base is and it is not PvP

Ok I think I get the idea… it is not removing PvE, and such as others seem to think.
However I still disagree to the idea. The problem is not the game design, Anet wanted people on all servers to do some of both, keep both active.
Then people went I PvP, everyone who does PvP should come to this and this server. Then PvE’ers go to this server. The community, possibly unintentionally, created this issue to come extend.
Sorry, but don’t change the game… just… change server, if the one you are on is not suitable. Just like you would not stay in a guild where you did not fit in.

You could always allow PvP on any server anywhere in the world by allowing players to toggle a “PvP” flag, too. that way, people who want the thrill that comes from having to worry about random ganks when you stop to harvest an ore node or fight a trash mob can do so, and others (like me) who basically only want to PvE can do that as well, side-by-side with the PvP’ers. I think it’d definitely add some spice to the game world and allow for deeper roleplaying even (since players could attack other players in the PvE environent), but Id definitely want it to be an OPTIONAL thing.

Yes, doing a Little of both as the monthly achievement suggests. But there is more to it or more could be in it. There are players like me that like PvE, SPvP but not interested in WvW but still think WvW is great idea and HAS to be improved so players like me could do it.

Let me explain: Unlike SPvP, WvW gives possibility for players to level till 80 in WvW only! Above all, they can use crafting, trade post and mystic forge. All this is good and should remain in WvW. What it needs to be altered is WvW map itself! Must be larger, must have more content, more possibility to craft, in other words to make some player play their character there yet make fun for others who almost never step a foot in WvW.

At first step, I think it is OK, but must be a bit more so it feels like almost separate map PvP map.

What need to be removed are bots who take their place in queue and many players who want – can’t get in. This is serious problem. It would be nice to introduce a server NPC hero that moves on the map and players can attack other server forts with him or even make a clash between those 2 NPCs on the field. It would be nice to introduce forth NPC only faction that can also conquer (krait, dredge, svanir, flame leagion, bandits, inquest…) that would give good crafting materials loot. Once players eradict that NPC faction, timer starts and when it is done, somewhere on the map game spawn new NPC faction of other race attacking randomly. Just piling it up from top of my head…

This would be easy to change too. They can reuse the code they used for lost shore event with the errors removed.

Spawn zones as they are needed and maintain a zone population of about 50. This way the game isn’t dead for a lot of people and every zone will have people doing events. Its now pretty much impossible to enjoy PvE anymore due to how low the population in zones beside LA is in most servers.

For WvW, you can just choose an affiliation. Which will be locked like they are now for a week.

LA can then have a LFG option that spans the entire game for people who do dungeons and fractals.

Right now, LA is always in overflow, every other zone is dead and nobody can find games.
