Guild Wars 2

Kaiser.9873:

Anet will not give you free transfers up tiers. They should give free transfers down tiers however.

This x100.

It would really mix things up for the better and get people to try all the tiers before eventually xferring back to the top (if that’s what they prefer).

I have only a vague notion of how the WvW ladder-style system could be changed now that megaserver is a thing, but merging failing servers on a temporary basis could certainly work, imo. Why not?

Sirendor.1394:

Four of my friends have recently transferred from Fissure of Woe to higher tier servers because there weren’t many good fights around. I personally do not have the stomach to grind 300+ gold just for a simple transfer, nor do I feel like paying $20 for a transfer because that feels like a rip-off. I’d rather quit than do that to be honest.

Any suggestions for a desperate WvW player who likes WvW but can’t play it because his server is not populated enough? Free transfers: I am all for that. Only reason to transfer is WvW anyways.

Hey, my guild of 4 was in FoW and transferred to Piken a few months back to get some variety in our fights!

We had one of our guild members ask support if they could transfer us all since our matchup was broken and we had been being farmed for months with no change to the matchup and they transferred us all for free.

If you feel strongly about your server not being the place for you, OP, ask support nicely, they may transfer you.
