Guild Wars 2

Just looking for some input from the wider GW2 community on whether they would consider some NA servers to be more active than others in high-end PVE (cursed shore, dungeon pugs etc). I understand that higher ranked WvW servers will have large populations but I’m hoping that there are some servers where the PVE activity is not based around whether they are winning their tier each week in WvW. Just looking for some stability so that our guild is not relegated to trying to follow the WvW zerg from one server to another.

I don’t think any server’s PvE activity is really based on WvW performance. Those bonuses are worth something but nobody actively sits around waiting for WvW numbers to go up before doing a dungeon.

Tarnished Coast, as the “unofficial RP server,” supposedly has a lot of people who are diehard PvE-only players (I guess because they want nice skins for “roleplaying”?). It’s kind of a weird stereotype because TC also has a pretty consistent WvW following, though. Seems like speculation for the most part.

TC was doing a pretty good job with Orr over the last two weeks (keeping temples open and such), as far as I could tell. So, our PvE landscape certainly isn’t desolate.

I didn’t think that people were so much following the bonuses as following the winning servers and therefor brining whole guilds that populated PVE when they wern’t in WvW. HoD had huge waiting times to get into WvW back when the TA was there and I’m sure players worked on character development or farming while they waited. I’m sure that PVE was busier there also because the game was newer back then but there is no question that there was a massive migration away from HoD for WvW and it did affect PVE.
