Guild Wars 2

Do u guys think there is more balance in the linking? Do you see problems with the population or other topics of the linking?

I love the Vabbolation linking. Vabbi and Deso are made for each other.

In my opinion I think this time around the linking looks more sensible than previous times at least there is no crazy linking like the stupid fsp triple link (I’m fsp player btw), yes the French will probably be top spot but that doesn’t matter, at least they won’t be as major issue as fsp and piken was last linking.

In all honesty was eu really needing this linking system? Unlike NA, EU glicko ratings prior to linking were quite close I think it was something like 100 points between top 12 server’s, and the others weren’t that much behind compared to NA anyway. Now the gaps in ratings since linking are huge.

Linkings weren’t done for glicko reasons. They were done for population reasons.

Linking is a short term solution and a poorly designed one. It leads to even more bandwagon that it was previously: people transfering on the cheapest server that got linked, then get sent back to other tiers they initially wanted to be.
What do you expect them to do but transfering again?

Probably a pretty lucrative system for Anet but creating powerhouse servers for few times and then destroying it with the next relink is probably the worse thing you could imagine.

It is disapointing players that would just like to stay in a stable tiers (high or low). How can it be ok to have such a huge instability among servers.
High tiers servers are artificially made and destroyed later with this bad linking system.

Yes. Why not actual merge then? Any server prides are gone anyway with this system.
