A month of being farmed and then a tournament where we’re immediately stuck with a losing matchup then a 2 vs 1 matchup has killed our server.
Seriously, good job.
Maybe you should have volunteered to come stay in the slums of WvW instead of offering to join whatever large server you pleased – you’d have a better idea of what some servers are putting up with.
Hate to break it to you but FoW has been having these kinds of matchups for over a year now. Why are you getting mad about it now? You’re a little late.
Devs want to have fun too; why should they join a low population WvW server and not have fun?!
Beyond the fact that I don’t think play is necessarily not fun on a low-population server, they should spend some time on low population servers to understand how their game plays across the board, not just at the highest populations. If they did this, they might not have implemented word bosses and Living Story event that could not scale enough for low-population casual servers to complete them before megaservers and wouldn’t have implemented megaservers with such a high population cap that world events are mostly now zerg-fests, even for people who didn’t want them, at least some of whom now play less or not at all. They might also realize that some of their fixes destroy other aspects of the game or make problems worse in other parts of the game. In other words, maybe it would dawn on them that not everyone is looking for the same cookie-cutter high-population zerg-fest experience. Not in PvE. Not in WvW.

This exactly. Low population doesn’t mean no fun, I’ve met some incredible, dedicated WvW players here but we just can’t win with the way things are right now.

If you look through my posts, this is far from the first time I’ve posted about this issue. I post this again now because morale in our server is dead, not many people are coming online to try and some players are coming on, telling everyone how crap we are at WvW and then leaving. Telling the people that are on everyday fighting to even try to make a difference is just low and disheartening and I’m sick of Anets silence, sure they finally got a CDI for it, but apart from that, they’ve hidden away from the players that needed their support most.
On sale now! 2400 gems (€30). Transfer to no. 1 server for guaranteed WvW first place prizes and easy, thought-free EotM trains for double the Karma, loot, and XP of those ‘lootbag’ servers full of players too cheap to pay-to-win.
Anet wants to get paid, yo. It’s a business model. Stop whining. Either pay up and collect… or remain a lootbag.
The slave dreams not of freedom, but of becoming the master.

And you’re the reason WvW is broken. That attitude stinks.
Paying to transfer would solve my personal issue, but what would happen to the rest of the players on my server that can’t or won’t transfer? That’s right, things get worse.
Me paying to contribute to the problem I’m complaining about would be morally wrong and extremely hypocritical.
Anet wants to get paid? I paid for the darn game, I buy gems on a regular basis for their other content. You know what happens when people get sick of being a lootbag? They quit playing.
If they want a steady income, they’ll fix WvW so it’s competitive for all of their populations so that people can look to it for fun and be able to compete with each other instead of “Oh, we’ll stack there because we’ll get the most stuff” and “Oh, great, another week of not being able to defend our borderland”
Dev’s want to have fun , ofc that’s why they stay away from our server – the one that is always screwed over!
And to pay them money to move server , hello stop being a Anetmoney maker they love people like you who throw money at the problem to hide it!
Maybe they could get off there kitten and Fix The Problem for us low servers!!
But Lets face it They will Never even have the decency to reply to this post!
Whiteside Ridge here. Sorry to hear you are going through hell, it happened to us just after last season. I know how hard is when you see guilds leaving because of steady matches with no competition or any related reasons.
Totally agree that some devs in lower tier would have been really appreciated.
