It has been long overdue I write about this on the forum. Today was the last straw. Since the megaserver came out, wasn’t it meant to push players together (or at least something like that)? Now we have these pop ups that give you a reward for changing to, a supposedly more populated map. Or at least it says the one you’re on has few players.

It is driving me crazy and I am sure I’m not the only one??

It pops up at the weirdest times and doesn’t do what its supposed to. It’s popped up when the map is plentiful (or as it seems and we’re taxiing), and then people leave and that in itself causes issues.

It pops up, for example, in Auric Basin last night, my husband and I were on a failing Tarir map and so we clicked it, and we were taken to an even worse map without the choice of going back. It is so annoying. This has happened countless times.

Really regardless of whether the map is full/empty, the pop up is happening too often and is really annoying.

The devs have already said they’re working on the issue.

I just click later and ignore it. Most of the time the icon to jump maps disappears after a little while.

Even in HoT maps I rarely see any reason to accept jumping maps… meta event or otherwise.
