Guild Wars 2

So today my server is fighting Abbadons mouth and Riverside which run nothing but zone blobs in most of the maps at any one time, this is something our server cannot fight plain and simple.

This can be fixed by seperating the server you represent and PvE, with the introduction of megaservers etc there is no reason to rep or choose a server. if they are seperated then WvW servers population can be managed alot better giving each server fairer spread of players.

It’s silly and quite frankly lazy to not seperate the populations of WvW and PvE, for example if you go to Aurora Glade it’s PVE population is absolutely HUGE but no one plays WvW, those who do on AG are stuck with sticking on a server that looses not due to skill but just numbers.

Seriously needs to be fixed and Anet know they can if they put the effort in. pretty sure they have the server infrastructure to do this and with minimal cost it’s possible.

It’s just frustrating going into gold league and immediatly being pushed out and then back in again because the gold server just blob, which lets be honest has no connection to skill.

This is a player problem not a game problem. If a server has a huge number of players that play only wvw only, pve only, or wvw and pve, it’s not up to Anet to moderate how a player choose what they do in game. If your server gets matched up against these sorts f servers then it’s your bad luck.

I play both wvw (though less so) as well as wvw. Are you saying that Anet should decide how I spend my time?

I know it’s frustrating, but it’s not up to Anet to tell players which mode to play. If your server lacks in numbers for wvw (which I can sympathize with), then you should either look into transferring to one that has a reputation for being a heavy wvw server or try to make do with what you have.

No i’m not, i’m suggesting that if you intend to play WvW then there should be a seperate set of servers for it so server pop like it is in the current system doesn’t decide your servers strength. Then the mega server system handles PvE stuff because mega servers have made what server you chose to play on redundant and only impact WvW and arena based PvP.

They really dont handle PvP. Server is only relevant for WvW. Region is what matters most for PvP, but even then we have cross region tournament play happening.

In spite of the megaservers, you are nonetheless bound to a particular server. So basically you’re suggesting a “pool” server where all PVErs. So how do they get their WVW map explo achievement? Remove that as a requirement for exploration? The whole point of that is to bring people into wvw.
