For NA for example, BG has been king in terms of coverage for a long time.
I think it might be good to forcibly transfer a group of players to other worlds so that it becomes more competitive in the top tier.
I know forcibly transferring sounds like a bad idea to all of us, but how about we offer a carrot for transferring?
Block people from tranferring to BG, but allow people to transfer out of BG.
And each person who chooses to transfer out of BG gets free transfer to any world of his/her choice and maybe 2000 gems as a carrot.

We could do this for EU’s dominant server too.
I’m not sure how to respond…
Force transfer? I’m sure that will go over well with customers…
2000 gem for the forced transfer? This a joke?
BG is full so you can’t transfer there anyway.
These are extremely poor suggestions for a multitude of reasons and have a lot of bad implications.

or remove server association if you have not entered wvw for a set amount of time (6 months?). they got so big when dormant players still associated with them combined with the people that did transfer when they were open – this was at least part of the reason why they were so strong when april patch hit….
The problem isn’t BG being full. Technically the other two servers in T1 are also full and I’m sure server capacities are the same (or at least they should be). However one side is full of fairweathers that are in for the win, and the other side full of fairweathers that don’t play because they are losing.
The problem here are all the fairweathers that bail the moment things get rough.
ANET gets fooled by the players all the time. BG has been doing it for years.
BG pretends to to stop playing every few weeks so they can open up the server and overstack it some more. ANET falls for it ever single time. BG isn’t the only server (see TC or the shi… alliance) that does it but they are the worst offender.
If ANET would stop getting fooled things would even out over time, but that isn’t going to happen. ANET will continue to be played and fooled and WvW will continue to be a mess of garbage overstacked servers and empty ghost towns.

No way I can agree with this. The original post actually suggests rewarding the players who made the mess! The players most likely to transfer off a server if offered a reward (2000 gems and no transfer fee) are the fair-weather server hoppers anyway, and then they’ll try to transfer back.
If you want to offer an incentive to not be in the highest population servers offer 2000 gems each to all the players in the bottom two tiers. Better still, do this every time the server links change.
This idea has been tossed around by anet a bit im pretty sure but there’s a lot more than goes into the idea of wvw balance. If anet does a force transfer from the bloated overstacked servers people complain and just re settle in other servers and start the stacking all over again. There’s fair weathers aka “default winners” that just make the server unstable and cause the above mentioned effect of opening a already bloated server up to transfers. Theres the fact that quick thoughtless actions only cause more strife than these ideas seek to solve. Theres a solution out there but whats suggested here would only reset the stacking and manipulating at best. Theres a good solution that will fix 90% of all the wvw problem but it wont come easily or fast the best solutions are always well thought out and take time to deploy

ANET only has themselves to blame.
Yes how dare people take a break from a video game, don’t they know they should be on all day farming virtual points for their server so they can keep people out by means of an artificial wall.
Also, is this thread for real? Do people ever understand when they make these kind of suggestions that it would be applied to ALL servers. OP you are on TC which has a linked server and was recently opened. Your server also has massive numbers running throughout the day, it is nobody’s fault that you guys don’t use them properly but your own. BG has coverage gaps that you guys are quick to take advantage of. TC won several matchups at the start of the second relinking because they wanted to win, so don’t act like its not possible. BG has the same limitations as everyone else, we cant put more people on a map then you guys can.
So please knock it off with these ridiculous suggestions, because I am sure you wouldnt want to be forcibly kicked off your server if it was winning again right? Just go out and have fun, or transfer somewhere else.
I say what needs to be said, get used to it.
Honesty is not insulting, stupidity is.

What makes you think they are taking a break from the game and not just playing on their alt accounts until the server opens up again?

Cosidering BG was open for transfers couple weeks ago, this isn’t going to happen.
