Guild Wars 2

Take a look at next week’s match ups, and the “Evolution” column: http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

There is a little more variability on the EU side, but the US side overall is having a lot less variability between weeks. I think the one week transfer restriction has helped, as well as the ranking system in general. From what I understand, the ranking system is based on a system used to rank world chess players. If that system is good enough for chess, it should be good enough for GW2!

There will always be servers that fall from grace or servers that rise from the depths. Even without transfers, the game’s population is going to change over time. Key players will leave and new ones will replace them. Players will organize or disorganize themselves. We all see the microcosmic effects of these shifts on our own server, but we should also recognize that an overall stability is approaching with this WvW ranking system.

Personally, I think this system is brilliant. Thank you, Anet.
