Guild Wars 2

So, I play on a server almost exclusively in WvW, venturinig into PvE when I have to have something only available there. Now the server I’m on is one of the top five and is linked with another server. So, supposedly this server we’re link with has the ability to ‘bump’ us enough people or whatever, to make us comparable to the other servers we’re matched against who may or may not also be linked to another server.

What I don’t understand, is that since these servers that are linked together don’t really have a separate score to determine how much they contribute to WvW individually, how are the individual scores on the leaderboard being generated? And that’s all fine until those two servers become unlinked and then paired with different servers. Who’s to say what went on…no one knows. How is Anet determining who goes where? Are we going to be forever left without a clue to what’s being used to determine these linkings?

Are they still generating individual rankings…it would seem so if you look on the leaderboards for WvW…but how are they doing that? How are they applying the GLICKO scoring system to linked worlds. And is that even valid?

So, maybe someone could explain all this. Maybe…

Judging what they did to SF and CD, the guest server keep the rating they had before the links until they become host servers. Only the host servers have their glicko changed with the result of the matches.
