Guild Wars 2

TLDR: This is an unwanted marriage by both parties.

Hey guys,
I know there is going to be a general disgust for any type of change.
However, the “world linking” with a 40 man wvw community from ET to the T1 heavy que’d BG is not conducive to a productive experience. ET is used to getting away with un-optimized groups playing small battles with zero ques. If we wanted to play on more elite servers many of us would have transferred off. In fact, many of the primary competitive guilds left ET about 2 years ago for a “more-interesting” experience.

With that said, BG doesn’t want ET here because we will use their precious ques for un-optimized zero experience’d for large combat groups. What benefit does ET get from guesting on BG? we don’t get the ranking, we lose because we are a small server on a large server. Our representation preceeds us. We are small, and causal, but we own that, we thrive on that representation. We never asked to be grouped with a competitive world like Black Gate (BG)

I propose an alternative, let the T1 worlds duke it out as they always have. There they can be as elite as they feel. The causal servers like ET AR and IOJ can be grouped up with other T1 or perhaps T2. On second thought perhaps the guild leaders of the worlds can be consulted or maybe vote on whom they would like to be linked to.

One has to wonder why it was necessary in the first place for world linking, who wanted it?

Balance is a critical feature of Guild Wars. This T1+T8 group is so far removed from that concept its befuddling to try to understand the point behind the linking.

Thanks guys,
Keep up the great work!

Ima go play CS:GO or CSS until ANET fixes this! Happy travels heros of tyria!
