Free World Transfers and WvW
My server Sorrows furnace used to have a large pop. we did very well. But over the past month cuz of transfers, aliances and w/e the reason, People left, the round we had vs rall, we lost 50% of our pop and we won the round before and people left the day we won. Why i dont know, But transfers have to go. It make that week with sor unpleasent for us and darkhaven. and we all enjoyed fightin each other till sor’s pop surged 3x the size of ours :-(
Server transfers help balance thing out. if your world isnt taking it seriously, go over to one that does.

This is exactly the problem.
its not balancing anything out. its making server with high pops turn to low pop and the low pop servers to almost no pop. Its made things 100x worse, then factor in exploits, hacks, invisible armies. WvW sucks anymore .
the free transfers are continuing because they said that they would continue until they got guesting in. they have not got guesting in. therefore, free transfers will continue.
1. Lock FreeTranfers toTier 1 servers. Open Free Transfer from Tier 1 servers.
2. Open “2 week waiting” FreeTranfers to and from Mid Tier Servers.
3. Open Free Transfers to all Lower Tier Servers and lock from Transfer.
This would balance WvW after a few months, then Anet could lock all Transfers and implement a payment tranfer only To Tier 1 servers and leave the Lower Tiers open for free to Transfers.
Regardless of whether or not “Guesting” gets implemented, it is getting to the point where its too late to fix things. Guesting is for PVE (unable to WvW for your guested server). At least make some kind of similar guideline with free transfers.
Ex: John Doe transfers to SoS, WvW lock out for 1 week (this is just an arbitrary example)
Having a lockout from WvW will prevent/discourage people from jumping server to server for Flavor of the Moment and picking up easy wins.
The lockout (in the case of 1 week) would also make sure the people who actually like the server are the ones WvW’ing there.
Well Coordinated guilds, like DA for example (no offense muchos grande respecto) swapping servers has a big impact on the WvW scene on that server
