Participates in events to work on map tier completion-

Nice map server population thingy system Anet?

I don’t understand how difficult can it be to direct any new person wanting to join that map, make them join the Highest > 2nd Highest etc populated version? There would be no problems that way?

The key line there is not understanding.
Anet aren’t doing this on purpose so there is something going on that they haven’t got to the bottom of yet or it would already be fixed.

There is a patch coming out that may (or not) address this.
If it doesn’t, they will fix it when it’s figured out.
To me this is probably the biggest legitimate issue we have right now.

Blame Abaddon, he loves your tears.

Click the button once to enjoy the buff, then subsequently click ‘later.’ If you don’t want the buff, then just click ‘later’ from the start. Sometimes server population increases enough that the exit option goes away and you won’t be forced to depart after the hour countdown.

No, everyone receives the notification at the same time, and doesn’t understand this is an option. They treat it like it’s something they need to do, and the map empties pretty quick.

From what I understand, the map can no longer gain new players naturally after this notification happens, so a lot of people leaving basically ruins the map.

That’s not been my experience. I have clicked ‘later’ and before the map shutdown countdown completed the exit button went away and I got to stay where I was.
