Guild Wars 2

The downside of long matches is that you end up with 30 to 46 hours at the end of the match where victory is mathematically assured for one team or defeat is mathematically guaranteed for another. Unfortunately, this trash time always falls on Friday and Saturday. I suspect this is also the time with the most concurrency. I know you guys are big on not giving preference to one group or another, but I think it’s reasonable to assume from your own server metrics that the vast majority of the world is not taking off most of Tuesday and Wednesday. If matches started on Thursday or Friday, at least trash time wouldn’t take place at peak concurrency.

Better yet make it the reset every 8 days. That way it is always changing what day it resets on.
