Guild Wars 2

Hello,

First, I would like to commend the developers on the recent pip addition. It has added a good method of allowing for long-term progression and reward to WvW.

However, I have some concerns over the time penalties for transferring, especially from a linked server to the main server. I feel as if the penalty should not exist if one transfers from the link to the main. This is a tad much. 1st, please remember that players are using gems for transfers and are actively paying for a service (should this be penalized in any manner?), 2nd, it is totally redundant for the penalty to continue if one is to transfer from the link to the main, essentially your home server is still the same via the link.

In summary, I think a 1 week penalty for transferring is more than enough, if any is required at all. Also, the penalty is ridiculous for same link transfers.

Finally, I ask what are the implications of this penalty while keeping in mind that most of the best servers at the moment are full. This penalty for transferring is actively keeping this servers full.

Thank you.

I get what your saying. And in your instance I would agree. However they have to apply this to everyone. A lot of people transfer just to stack servers so they can feel safe in bigger numbers. So that being said they would not have time to differentiate between peeps like you, and peeps that just want to stack servers.

Have to agree here – if we are on the same matchup and we transfer to the main server as it opens, why the penalty? Especially if you had the server loyalty award pip on the link server…

They may not have a way of splitting the penalty and if the choice is to not have one or have one that unfortunately penalizes who you are talking about then I vote for the latter. There must be things in place to at least try and prevent bandwagon server hopping as unfortunate as some of the unintended side effects may be.

We’re paying for a service. The player should not be punished.

I vote six months, and regular tier transfer fees!

Or $150*.

Your choice.
