Guild Wars 2

This suggestion is for when free transfers are over because right now they are the biggest contributing factor to WvW imbalance.

In an effort to balance out WvW populations, I suggest creating incentives for players willing to transfer to under-populated worlds. For example, perhaps a week-long buff to experience gain and badges of honor in WvW combat.

Unfortunately, the free transfers do not appear to be allowing the populations to balance out — they are actually doing the opposite.

The server imbalances will go away after Halloween is my guess. It is their first major event and people are still settling in. I appreciate that they allowed people a few months to find a server that really meshes with their play style, but I think it is time for that to come to an end. Two months is more than enough time to settle in.

I do hope when they implement paid server transfers they still allow conditional free transfers to underpopulated and underperforming realms. A number of other games do this, despite it requiring a slight bit more moderation it’s more beneficial for players.
