Guild Wars 2

As you’ll probably know, in the updates released in the past months Anet has enabled guesting, while at the same time boosted the rewards from the world boss chests. For some reason this led to a large number of guests visiting the server i have been playing on since the release of the game (Desolation).

I would not have any problems with this, if it wasn’t for the fact that every single time i decide to go to a world boss, the server is in overflow. I do not have any facts to prove this, but i assume this is caused by the large numbers of guests on the server.

My question/suggestion is; why does Anet allow this? People only guests to our server to get the benefits of the world bosses, while the people that have actually been on the server since the release of the game get put in overflow… Why not design a system that will make sure that when a server is full and therefor will become an overflow, will kick some guests (full=full) so that the people from the homeserver do not suffer from guesting by other servers?

I hope you guys could try and think of this idea, for me guesting has been rather annoying than a benefit.

Prioritize Home Players Over Guests

The guesting has officially ruined the game now!
On our own home server, we are doomed to overflow servers. That is NOT right! I, and rest of guild, have been on AG from day 1, and have NEVER experienced being dropped to overflow maps like this. It is ruining the game for everyone.

You must prioritize home players over guests! If home players want to get to a full map, the guests on that map should be kicked to an overflow map instead and give their spot to the home players.

You could have added this to the dozen or so other threads on this same topic, many of them still on the first page.

Regardless, your only recourse is to show up earlier so you have time to to go from overflow to normal map. I have yet to have a problem thus far and if I miss out /shrug there is always next time.

Unfortunately until theres a solution people will just have to go to a zone 10-15 mins before the window starts for said events

Ignore Kynmarcher. He thinks he’s a mod, but he just likes to complain about people posting things that bug them.
