Please add interserver chat. Because...
If only there was such thing as a healthy and robust solo que……… The. You wouldn’t need to form a premade to stomp pugs.
The more premades and guild-teams you have the more competitive this game becomes. GW2 forces ppl to soloQ because the game lacks of a LFG-Tool and splitting them into 2 regions, 20 servers. That’s not healthy. And insulting players that want to play on a competitive level is not right. It’s A-Net fault of being incapable to generate a working SoloQ.
I know hundreds of ppl that actually wanna play in a premade but they just can’t find ppl for it due to this splitted playerbase. Then they are forced to soloQ and getting frustrated because soloQ is in a horrible state. Ergo they stop PvP or rarely play it.
They are working on a LFG-Tool that will affect both PvE and PvP. As far as i recall it should be in testing-phase right now, and the tool should help people form teams cross servers.
But i do agree. It’s frustrating going up against the same premade team farming tournaments against PuGs, and there is nothing you can do about it because HoTM is empty.

I think my intent was lost among my context. I wasn’t insulting him, I was bemoaning the lack of a healthy solo que option for those times that forming a premade isn’t viable. I actually agree that HOTM should be inter server wide to better facilitate group making, so they can play in the team que that is needed.
It is unfortunate that everyone sees this problem and word of mouth doesn’t travel fast enough.
Use Academy of the Mists (it is a non-rep guild) to form your groups. Basically, you log in, see who is on, whisper a couple peeps and usually have a full team inside of 7 minutes. If the community latches on and starts using it more consistently, then the amount of time to form a group will be even less.
There is even a free VOIP server on C3 that is public, and anyone can create a subchannel for their group in order to avoid cross-talk in matches. The idea is sound, and it is working for those that are making it work. If more start using it, then it will really be a great solution to the lack of seperated solo-que.
