[Video Guide] Stop Guesting!
Reason for guesting: Your server has four people in Sparkfly and two are AFK.
Cant you just organise a date for people to start it? Spread the word in map chat “In 2 days at such a time, we are all gathering together to take him down”. I know it might seem abit daunting but it would snowball quite well i think. Try talk to some of the bigger guilds on the server
Playing devil’s advocate here- Why don’t you just organize a group to do it on another, less populated server? Why do others have to change how they want to play the game to accommodate you?
-1-800-GUILD-WAR? They can’t have my ’Brand… I have special eyes.
-Look, look with your special eyes!
-My Dragonbrand!
-Look, look with your special eyes!
-My Dragonbrand!
Valid point but, shouldn’t we be allowed to play on our own server. Instead of having to organize events for other people, and have our own community miss out?
You still won’t be able to play on your own server. If you will be able to join your server map easily, without hitting overflow, it means that there’s not enough people on main to take Teq anyway.
Actions, not words.

You forgot one item:
*a zillion people
Maybe im being naive but i dont think you need all that many people, I reckon if you can gather around 100 from the server you should be fine
i dont think you need all that many people
around 100
what?
Today I learned: 100 people isn’t a lot of people.
@Shrimpit, totally understand the frustration of not being able to play on home server, I finally just gave up trying to get on mine after last night. So many attemps to no avail.
But, for people to take you seriously on your video. It would be better to have a video of you doing all you suggest for others to do. Succeed. Post it and show people how its done.
But if everyone’s guesting, then why would you want to do it on your home server? Why not just guest with your home server on whatever server they’re guesting on?

Because the rest of your server is guesting…it’s a vicious cycle. Everyone’s guesting because there’s nobody around. There’s nobody around because everyone’s guesting. Guesting is broken for both higher and lower population servers, and something needs to be done.

It can become even harder to then travel to other servers as people catch wind that “Desolation is guesting to (sever name), hurry everyone go there” and then instead of being able to join a party members instance i have to run in and out of the zone constantly
I think the overall problem isnt really the players but the system itself
The only way that servers with lower population will kill teq is by guesting. Either they’ll guest or someone else will guest to their server. And there is nothing wrong in that. If someone is there for 5 hours guesting on let’s say Blackgate, and you just logged on and then whine why you can’t get in because of the guests is just hypocritical and wrong. Stop whining about guesting and come early, like everyone else.
Guesting is one of the best things that happened to GW. Game is not so separated anymore as it used to be.
Tequatl should be an 80 dungeon instance. Tequatl scales with number of players, and a lot of players are dead weight. Guesting insures extra bodies and that the percentage of dead weight players is reduced. Guesting helps the high population servers and kittens the low population servers.

Im not saying guesting is a bad thing, but the whole arguement of “you should wait” is ridiculous, when gw2 first came out one of there main selling points was that you shouldnt have to wait around to have fun. The fact that other people are denying others from being able to play with their guilds on the main server etc etc. My main issue is more that fact that it can be so hard to organise things on an overflow and consistently be able to get everyone onto the same one without being blocked by AFK guesters trying to get on the main.
