Guild Wars 2

We’ve seen McKenna’s explanations about why the server links are as they are:
Explanation #1

Hello everyone,
I know a lot of EU players are asking why Far Shiverpeaks is linked with Whiteside Ridge and Fissure of Woe so I figured I would clear up why this link was made.
Our goal with World Linking is good matches. This doesn’t necessarily mean that worlds in tier 4 are intended to be competitive with worlds in tier 1

Explanation #2

[..]It would be nice if World Linking made every tier competitive with every tier but it’s just not realistic. It is even more unrealistic for EU because we avoid linking worlds with different languages. So instead we try make each tier competitive with one another. FSP was linked to be competitive in tier 1.

So my question is: How does the ladder work now?
If you win…

• Do you move up?
• Does your server get more kudos?
• and a better server to pair with next time so you’re competitive in the tier above?
