Swallow your pride already and just get rid of that kitten.
Why don’t the players swallow their pride and accept links are here to stay instead? They were voted and won. There is no going back now…
Anet believe JQ is competitive in T1 but in reality it isn’t. JQ is too casual thus the inconsistent for T1. It can also be that anet believe some absurd advise from some foolish JQers that JQ should go T1.
I look at it this way:
Anet gave JQ a chance. What happens afterwards is up to JQ to decide. The concept of “earning it” still applies I guess.
This only goes to show that population size/activity, while it does account for a certain “background PPT”, still needs to perform a certain amount of teamwork when teams are closer in size.

That’s assuming that the population algorithm Anet is accurate. Based upon the actions last week and the results afterwards I seriously doubt that algorithm is accurate.
We’ll see next week as Anet manually makes adjustments and we have BG/TC/Mag in T1, because as the week goes on it’s clear that while JQ might have deserved a shot, they didn’t perform up to Anet’s calculations and Mag is doing to the T2 match this week what BG did to the T1 match last week. Maybe by Monday JQ will tank their way out of T1 like Mag did last week.
You can’t seriously ask players that are starved for fun or addicted to zerging…to NOT Vote for a solution that Frankesteiningly pools players together for THE over-stacked server?
It’s like asking an addict how much “blank” they want…and really expect them to NOT Overdose.
The “Medicine” is made into a poison…when it’s not appropriately administered with the right doses.
The negative effect, however, is that only THE over-stacked server is capable of having any chance of keeping a “normal” community alive & enjoying “competition”.
ANet has a fiduciary duty to un-do this silly change.
If it’s not done for the player…ANet should un-do this “feature” for their bottom line.
World Linking is basically reducing their opportunity to create & maintain multiple server communities that can generate gem demand & streams of revenue…not necessarily tied to server transfers.
The damage is already done, but to continue to keep this feature…will enforce that guest servers continue to be neutered, or it’s community population growth kept a retrd.

It’s far too early to tell who belongs where.
And it’s not that their algorithm is wrong; it’s that it can be manipulated, and it currently is.
Not to mention population means literally nothing in the context of making fair WvW matchups. There are too many more nuances that are ignored that quite frankly until they aren’t, will result in unfair matchups either by poor matchmaking algorithms ignoring the reality of WvW player data, or manipulation of the algoritms by players.

People only like democracy if they are happy with the results of a vote/election. Otherwise they moan or riot.
