I play on Stormbluff Isle, and we’re middle tier by the way that things are ranked. However, we are constantly outnumbered on every map. We never have a chance to get to first place in our weekly battle unless we play the tier below us. When we have people on we are able to hold our own but sure enough every single day as the opposite team zerg grows we get destroyed as more people log out of our server and more zerg log into the opposing team.

This thread is not about improving any server’s population by recruiting guilds to join the server or getting your server to use team speak or any other means of players improving on the mechanics. A team of 15 is not going to beat a team of 50. Because of the gem cost to server switching, creating a better server is no longer possible.

What is ANet planning to make these other servers viable? I would like to see some type of server alliance built throughout the tiers so that the poor gimps in server number 18 that didn’t take the free server switch while they had a chance can actually play WvW.

WvW also needs a new map. The current 4 can stay just as they are though there needs to be some overhaul that makes WvW more interesting other than the zerg fest it is now. I would like to see a server where smaller teams and squads are used. This would make WvW more interesting at the core, though there is still the problem of the “dead” servers where they just sit in 3rd place of their tier and nobody plays WvW on those servers, thus leaving those WvW seeking players with NO alternative.
