Guild Wars 2

seriously there is a big problem with server match-up, currently im with eredons terrace with population of high and we are against another pop. high server then there is the pop. really high that just completely dominates the map with multiple zergs of 50+
WvW is completely and utterly useless for the other 2 servers due to this unfair match-up

PvE/World population =/= WvW population.

if you have 4 servers with large populations, and 2 servers with small populations, then those 2 servers are always going to have to play against at least one server with more people (and with randomization, sometimes against two).

this is because matches always come in groups of 3. never 2-way matchups or 4-ways.

the matchup system cannot fix this problem, unless the players arrange themselves so that servers of similar strength can always be found in groups of 3 (or multiples of 3).

so far, the players seem unwilling to do this. it appears that they would rather “bandwagon” onto the high-tier “stacked” servers.

You can’t compare servers by population. SoR and TC are great examples of this. SoR is a clear T1 server and has a huge WvW population while TC is a T2 leader and quite a huge PvE population. A few patches ago SoR was hovering around “very high” while TC was a solid “full”

Also most bandwagon servers are still looking to fill some small gaps in coverage so if your looking to join the band, take a look at what some of these guilds can offer you.
