All of these games are already over. Keep in mind this is after using (clearly worthless) algorithms to determine server pairings. This is why people think WvW is not fun.
Solution: keep matchups for one week, but split the week into two games:
- one weekend game that runs from Friday to Monday afternoon
- one weekday game that runs from Monday night to Friday afternoon
Reassign properties after the game resets. If you feel people won’t get the most bang for their buck upgrading property then let servers maintain upgrades on their original property (minus built-in siege). Yes, there is less incentive to upgrade property in the enemy zone, but these are properties that typically flip quickly which prevents any significant upgrades in the first place. Frankly, this argument doesn’t even matter, because something clearly needs to change.
