A polite request to both ArenaNet and active WvW guilds
I think the one of the leaders of TA pointed out that it’s not only the influence, it’s the relationships you already established within the server as well.
For example, I’m in 2 guilds on the server I’m on. There are several people in my guild that are on multiple guilds as well. We are all on the same server and could switch between easily so we can keep up with all our friends, pve or wvw.
If I were to transfer my guild, I would be losing some members because they want to stay with their other group of friends. And personally I don’t want to transfer because I made friends already on this server.
The only people that the influence thing would affect are guilds that have been transferring from world to world since launch.
However I do support letting guilds keep their influence if they transfer from High to low server. Not vice versa: if you transfer from low pop to high pop, you lose all your upgrades and influence.
