Guild Wars 2

Short version:
Volunteering for a new map should include the participation you had.

Longer version:
I have been farming Auric Basin for a while now, and after pretty much every meta 9/10 times I get the volunteer option while I am on 200% participation that makes me sad.
It feels like I’m being punished over the fact half map leaves after a meta.
(this goes for any of maps in HoT, but especially shows for AB)

I know its possible to refill a map to point where no longer closes, done that a few times and then for no reason the map closes and forces you to a new map anyway.
Since that I just volunteer and deal with the fact I get 0% participation, but would be so much better if I could keep the participation on the new map I volunteered for.

I agree, as do many others.
Another big example is Meta Event time, many people might not be interested in it, while those doing the Meta want as many numbers as possible. So they ask those not participating to join another map. If it were me, and I didn’t want to do the Meta, I still wouldn’t want to go to 0 participation by switching maps.

Hundreds of people agreed with you but alas, it didn’t even warrant a response from Anet on Reddit

After all the bad exposure the Dev’s got about not posting here but using Reddit insted they moved on the the DARKNET now.

If a instance had a Map Closing once, but did not close since got filled up;
next time the same instance should get map closing it doesn’t it just closes instant.
This is actually a bug, and the mean reason why I now a days just volunteer.

I’m not trying to discuss the fact this participation system is bad for anyone how can play less then time for the next meta, and that this system actually does not make play what you like, but forces you to stay in a map for rewards. not to mention dcs
