I added this to suggestions, so for the full read of the suggestion head over to here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Revamp-WvWvW-to-3-way-color-battleground/first#post837572

If you read that what are your guys thoughts about it?

And for those that don’t want to read my wall of text.
tl/dr
Have players join a color each week or allow switching of color only once a month.
Que up as your color and server
Players from all servers get to play as their specific colors vs all other colors
Map list working like sPvP one, where the more people que the more maps open up down the list and close back down when less people are playing.

I don’t know, I really like the server rallying. Take Sea of Sorrows for instance. Freshly Tier 1. Every server is feeling the Thanksgiving/new content crunch right now but they did remarkably well. Now everyone on SBI is going to smash into them next week and reclaim our rightful place as Number 1. And Sea of Sorrows will have to work harder to keep their position. You could tell just by their tenacity that they wanted to be there and earned that position. That is lessened by “bandwagoners” I could only imagine how much worse that would be.

Destruction of server pride would be lame. A pop cap increase would be nice I guess but all in all I really oppose the Spvp concept in WvW. It isn’t a bad system but one I just don’t think would work well with what we currently have.

On a slightly off topic note: I think multi cultural server team work is also amazing. SBI has a strong Korean population and despite minor clashes and language barriers I think the concept is amazing. That is also how SoS secured their position, by having strong oceanic times. It would be a little unfair to mix that up on them. We don’t speak Korean a lot of them don’t speak English but the coordination is cool because people like Cloned who speak both languages.

Imagine being stuck with a bunch of Koreans who you can’t communicate to or understand? Just imagine them being stuck with us who they can’t understand. Organization I think might be a little rough. Right now its near perfect.

I always love when people voice new ideas, I think GW2 is a living, breathing game (not literally :P), so it should evolve as well. But I admit I too don’t really support this idea. It may force people not to bandwagon as they do now, I’m not sure if it would ease that a lot or not, but I think the vital element that is missing in WvWvW right now is server pride. Some people genuinely have server pride, and mass exoduses off of oftentimes losing servers tend to leave the loyal ones behind so those servers do have a greater deal of players who feel server pride than some might. I hope one day server pride becomes something that is infectious and spreads and not JUST when your server is winning.

Pretty much sounds like Guild Wars Factions but with a 3rd faction.

So i wouldn’t get to pick which instance i play on?

would all 20 of my guild members play on the same map or would we all just end up in different instances?

what about the other guilds we like to play with, would they also be able to join the map we are already on?

Typical SBI talking smack in a thread not even related to tier 1. The only reason SBI is “number 1” is because of how stacked it is and how they can fill the entire WvW 24/7. You have a korean guild called WM that is full that plays around the clock and doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. Your excuses are pathetic. Give credit where credit is due. SoS won. If you want to use more excuses, they got tons of bandwagoners themselves. Blackgate lost a fairly large guild because they were bandwagoners.

Moving on, this idea seems like it’d create more problems than solutions. The real solution would be to remove all the borderlands and just make 2 WvW maps that are like EBG.
