Guild Wars 2

I am rather curious to this. Will the top 12 servers be playing against one another in a league while the bottom 12 play in a seperate server? I feel that might make the most sense; but I have not heard a thing about it.

Leagues mean basically nothing. Nothing has really changed.

Except that the #12 server will be guaranteed to meet servers #1-6 — which means, at the very least, 3 weeks out of 7 being spawn camped 24/7.

Ya but to be fair, most of the possible rank combinations for a match have already happened anyway ..and they were almost as likely to happen again.

Being #12 and facing #1-6 once in a blue moon is very different from being guaranteed that over the course of 7 weeks, you will have (at least!) 3 matches that involve one or more servers from #1-6.

So you’re guaranteed to be completely demolished for 3/7 weeks, and almost certainly more. That’s not fun.

But guys its LEAGUES! Plus also as number 12 server I am sure you have similar numbers to 1st server and can battle them for bloodlust buff in middle of map! Not only will 1st server spawn camp the 12th server they will do so with a buff…

You missed the part where highly unpopulated WvW servers such as Avnvil Rock and Devona’s Rest will potentially be placed against moderately-highly active WvW community’s. And when that happens, well everyone’s moral is nada, and no one wants to WvW anymore.

You missed the part where this has already been happening for months.

Just look at the current matches: t5-7 all have a 5+ rank gaps between two of it’s opponents. 7 ranks in the case of t5 and t6.

Also, AR and DR’s already been through their phase of “moral goes down, everyone quits” (arguably for the second time in DR’s case)… that’s what lead them to the bottom. These things are cyclical and will keep happening whether the matches are staged within leagues or not.

So my question is. Why does that happen? Is it the whim of the gods? No… its because they got smashed against insurmountable odds and the players LEFT.

So because it was already happening to some degree… it is okay to FORCE it to happen for the majority of the matches… not a CHANCE of it happening… but guaranteed to.

You really do not understand this… this is prolly your first MMO or your first RvR style MMO.
