Guild Wars 2

So I just recently transferred from Anvil Rock to Henge server for a better WvW experience. Imagine my surprise when I get on Henge to find that the top alliance guild had disbanded and there was no leadership or organization whatsoever, and it was in fact in worse shape than Anvil Rock (if not on par with them).

My question is, why is there not also an option to pay for server transfers AFTER the free one has been used, currently? I can fully understand the idea behind transfers causing imbalance if too many are allowed per WvW rotation, but wouldn’t that also net more money for Anet? Also, why isn’t there the option to transfer one time for free and then one time after paying?

This has only recently started to bug me, I have to admit, mainly because I really want to get into WvW. With such a bad population this week on Henge, it feels like that part of the game is basically cut completely off—it was so bad that one of the other servers were taking our Borderland (entirely) and still had people to spare to sit around and camp the jumping puzzle (around 10 of them) so no one else could do it. Until the week is over, I’m forced to either not play or do nothing but grind dungeons/map completion which just doesn’t seem as fun since it isn’t one of my priorities currently.

Anyway, my situation aside, I’m curious as to why it is setup this way? What are your guys’ thoughts?
