Guild Wars 2

If it takes a server to have 2 links to be able to be able to compete in T1 they don’t belong there.

Why? If you still think of wvw rankings as some sort of leaderboard with the best at the top, then you haven’t been paying attention to the game for a long time.

I still think they should delete BG and Mag, give people free transfers to not full servers and reorganize wvw.

They did that with FSP once, no idea why, cause they didn’t need the queues.

More numbers != better player experience

Cool, so just stick YB up there as the 3rd server and leave the rest of us alone.

Y’all wanted match rotation.

You are basically asking for endless stale matches with the same people for months. Few liked that system better than the current one.

linked servers arent the only way to achieve a rotation.

just do 3 faction problem solved

Oh yeah I’m sure YB would be more than happy to take TC’s place as the third broken wheel in T1.

P.S I’m joking btw.

YB isn’t remotely interested in being in t1. Better yet, it’s in no danger of being there any time soon. There’s a silver lining to having no link and being locked…

Very true. T3 and T4 are fun. T1 was never fun. A lot of YB never wanted to be dragged there in the first place and are only too pleased to be well out of it.

You know that it has absolutely nothing to do with competition right?

Anet has put the requirement of links on T1. It’s not like the servers have anything to say on the matter.

Lets say that population is an overstacked 100 for server 1, 80 for server 2 and 60 for server 3.
Anet goes “aha! Well we’ll just make that 80+20 and 60+40 with links to make them equal, we’re genius!”.
Now they’ve put a minimum requirement for that tier. If that first server loose people, they will get a link. And because that server get a link, the others will still need a link. And because they get links, the first server will get a new link. Etc and so on.

We’re stuck in a kittening loop of perpetual links and point experimentation to “fix” a problem that cant be fixed with either.

The difference in T1 servers shouldn’t be THAT big. I play on T5 server, and we got no link. Servers that covers roughly 70%(or was it 60%?) of their expected population will receive no link. I don’t believe that a T1 server doesn’t cover that much, yet a T5 server does. Another thing is the famous triple link to FSP some time ago. They owned the t1 so hard, it was totally one sided.

Here is an old link for reference to what I mean. Anet closed that one.
