This is a serious problem:
1. The A-Net servers are completely incapable of handling the load in even a medium-sized WvW battle.
2. Massive skill lag ensues, so that even the auto-attack fires only sporadically.
3. A-net promotes WvW to the masses with a tournament season.
4. Queue times are over 2 hours during peak weekend times.
5. The experience is so frustrating that I want to quit.
All of my toons have builds/skill sets that work on combos where timing is important. The A-net server lag completely destroys build synergy, rewarding the unskilled players who select their build and profession because it gives them the maximum DPS with the lame skill 1 autoattack!!!
So this tourney is about who can get through the queue and into a big zerg so they can repeatedly press the 1 key until somebody dies. Sorry, A-net, that’s not what you promised, and not what I paid for. FIX IT.

Look, A-net sells the game describing how wonderful WvW is. What you’re saying is that it’s up to me to transfer servers. I’m saying it’s up to A-net to make their game not only playable, but as good as they advertised. If my clothes washer wasn’t working, would you suggest I started washing them by hand? If my car barely ran, would you suggest I switched to a bicycle? Of course not! I/we expect a company to deliver the product they advertise.
A-net needs to either upgrade its server capacity or make more, smaller server sizes. Something, anything to make the game work as it should.
