Guild Wars 2

To anyone who thinks WvW is not broken, you are absolutely dead wrong. I play on Henge, and the events that have taken place in the past 2 weeks regarding WvW is absurd, and quite frankly should have never happened and would have never happened if transfers weren’t free.

First of all, get rid of server rankings. What is that garbage? How are the rankings in any way fair? Half the population can switch to a new server with a click of the “transfer” button for any given reason. You shouldn’t be able to do, we’re almost 2 months into this game, what happened to free transfers only allowed in the first week? This is killing the balance in WvWvW very severely, and what is concerning is Arena Net hasn’t even shown any acknowledgement about it AT ALL.

We’re up against Blackgate and Eredon Terrace this week, after a horrendous week of not being able to play WvW against Jade Quarry and SBI. This week is already over, and it’s only been like 24 hours. Blackgate has ALL of our transfers, literally almost every guild that did WvW on HoD is on BG now. Why? Because Arena Net allowed it.
Another week of not being able to play WvW, how long is this gonna go for? Until we drop the last tier?
How long are you going to allow half a server population freely hop around the game ruining server balance to be top tier? Is this gonna be an endless cycle of server hopping until it’s closed?

There’s nobody in our battlegrounds and I don’t blame anybody one bit from HoD, or ET for that matter. Blackgate is already up like 60k, we’re not coming back from that. Why bother playing? That’s what the general population is saying, why bother if we literally don’t have a fighting chance? It’s not fun, at all. This isn’t a blame against BG either, it’s none of your faults. And there’s nothing we can do about it.
It’s making me not want to play this game any more.

Well, there’s my opinion. Hope this doesn’t get locked, considering it is a legitimate issue that isn’t being solved.

It sounds like your just mad that Henge lost its main alliance and then fell from tier 1. Rankings aren’t the problem. I will concede that server transfers are a huge issue, but restricting or removing free transfers would solve your so called “ranking issue”. I doubt you would complain about rankings if your server was still in Tier 1.

I can promise you that restricting free transfers would solve balancing issues, then once there is server balance, there could be rankings that would mean something. Because right now, rankings mean absolutely NOTHING.

Getting this back up there.

I know what you feel bro

Rankings do influence people’s decisions. So does queue times. I suspect they can’t just turn off free server transfers because many servers will be stuck with huge queue times. Then there will be complaining that ANet did it to force people to buy gems because they are greedy.

Rankings are needed for matchups. If you don’t have rankings for matchups, how would you suggest it be implemented?

Dont get rid of rankings every (genuine) WvW player will tell you server transfers are the problem, but Anet think there being clever.

I would suggest a proper ranking system to be implemented when every server has balance. How is a server supposed to have balance if anybody can move around at their free will? ET and HoD are perfect example of this. Then everybody follows, and a server dies. The battlegrounds are a dead zone at the moment for those 2 servers, and have been for over 2 weeks.

And to solve queue times, EASY. If a server becomes to full and people start complaining about queues, offer free transfers to lower population servers, or servers in LOW tiers, don’t allow people to transfer to the highest ranked/highest population free of charge… Why should people be allowed to transfer to a server that doesn’t need help? Because they want to be #1? So then if you want to be #1, pay for the server transfer. That will have people second guessing before jumping ship like they’ve been doing.

Yes, that’s what I’m getting at as well, server transfers are killing this game. At least for me.
