100% Exploration Question
After reset, the servers will take a color according to their rating compared to each other.
They are often the same, however.
Many of the exploration items can be picked up by being careful, but many are inside of towers or keeps that you have to breach in order to get them, and is generally unreasonable to expect it to happen (like the keeps in EBG). The easiest way would be to transfer to a server that is the color you want, or is dominating the field, and do the exploration from there.
Red = bottom of the tier, Green = top of the tier (blue = middle, obviously). If there’s no movement in the rankings, you won’t change borderlands on reset.
So yeah, the easiest solution is to change servers if your current matchup isn’t working. Either change to one that’s currently in the right borderland (the rankings are posted in the WvW forum so you can always tell who should be where) or find a matchup that seems really lopsided and hope you can get on at a time when they might be sweeping several maps. I guess a low population matchup would be most likely to see dramatic sweeps back and forth, but hard to say and it may not coincide with your preferred coverage time so transfer at your own risk.

Thanks for your responses … hadn’t considered changing servers as I’ve always just stayed on the one I picked at the beginning and never looked back – but depending on how the rest of the week goes… I’m on US server Blackgate btw…now say that it wins this week and it looks like it will… would it then move to Tier 1 of WvW and be a different color then green next week? Guess I really just need to figure out how the WvW reset works and when Servers change opponents – again thanks for your responses

I don’t know how the WvW scoring correlates to the ranking, but if your server wins the matchup by a certain amount they gain traction in the “rating.” You swap once you overtake the server ahead of you in rating (at reset). I don’t know how easy a 60 point gap is to make up in the upper tiers, though.

Simple answer, you need to wait or transfer.
I am at 99% with 2 borderlands and EB fully mapped. I have around 2/3 of the last borderlands left to do, but it is currently mostly occupied by another server.
My server is not particularly great at WvW, so not sure when I will get the last bits done ..
Lead a charge and capture those points you need!
