Guild Wars 2

Problem: Due to guesting and reduced population map limit, players are often required to camp in the map 10-20 minutes prior to event spawn time window to ensure they are not in overflow to participate in select world events.

Solution: Make chest rewards available on home world servers only.

As many of you noticed yesterday there was noticeable improvement with the lag problem most likely due to limiting the amount of players that can be in one map instance. This has caused a problem with players not being able to get into their home world instance when a world event is about to start and get stuck in overflow. As many people have learned there are dragon timer websites that indicate when these start on the respective server. People have been using these timers and selecting world to guest on to produce rewards faster than waiting on their home servers. This has caused a population overflow on world events to where people that are native to the server can not participate in world events. This is not the intention of guesting, it was made so people can play with their friends. By eliminating the chest rewards on guesting servers you preserve the intent on guesting, keep server populations on world events to how they should be, and it eliminates the 10-20 minute camp time required to participate on world events.

Please implement this solution. Casual players only have so many hours in a day to play. This shouldn’t be a wait to play game if you want rewards. People should not be forced to wait most of their play time just because people from other worlds want to exploit rewards faster than waiting on their own home server.

No, people should be making lots of threads about this. It is breaking the game for people who can’t afford to be on 24/7, and needs to be fixed ASAP. This game is supposed to be casual friendly in many of it’s aspects, and they went completely backwards with the whole guesting thing.

Fortunately OP offers a perfect solution other that is not “take down the guesting service.” This fix can’t happen soon enough.
