Guild Wars 2

With free transfers having no penalty there is currently little point in playing WvWvW on a lower populated server. The majority of players just use the free transfer to go to the winning side and further the imbalance.

There has to be a penalty for a free transfer and since the only thing that server population imbalance affects is WvWvW it must be a cooldown on entering it after using a free transfer.

Paid ones will of course bypass this feature since paying money is deterrent enough for most people.

Seriously fix this horrible horrible mess by doing this.

Free transfers have made WvW a pathetic joke. There isn’t any skill involved in joining the biggest zerg.

GW2’s WvW could be fun if ANET had a clue. Sadly, that isn’t the case.

Why 5? It should be 7 days + not being able to transfer to a server that your current one is matched against.

This will get rid of all wvw related transfers, and legitimate players can still transfer if they need to… worst case they have to wait a week to transfer, but that’s not that big a deal if they really want to transfer to a certain server.

2 weeks are better. 1 week cooldown, you roughly know who is going up and who is going down, 2 weeks leave it an unknown and people can’t sabotage their opponents.

I just used 5 days as a starting point. The game is broken with the way server transfers are right now….

If people havent organized onto their friends servers at this point then too bad. just turn off free transfers at least.

Make the server change cooldown a month. Charge money. And also – implement a free guesting system for pve-only with no restrictions.

Actually that guesting system might be abused by bots so would have to be carefully considered as well.
