Guild Wars 2

So I suggest the following to help balance WvW:

Adjust the number of open maps based on tier. For example, T1 gets 3 BLs and EB. T2 gets 2 BLs (of the lowest ranked servers) and EB. T3 gets 1 BL and EB, and below T3 just gets EB open.

This will help fill up the maps for more even balance. In lower tiers with less WvW pop, you won’t have to spread as thin to defend and the top server won’t run away with points as easily b/c they’re sitting on an uncontested BL. By giving the underdog(s) the BL advantage, maybe that helps competition.

Thoughts? This is just a framework, so suggestions are welcome..

No thanks. Interesting idea, but some people just don’t like eb. So if I was on a lower server, that would just suck. Secondly I like to avoid the big fights and find smaller fights which would then be impossible to do if there was only EB open to go to.

Then maybe leave 1 BL and EB as the minimum option so people have a map choice. I think you’d still be able to find smaller fights and probably more since the maps wouldn’t be as empty.

Essentially you’ll end up treating lower tier servers unfairly, in that they now get access to less content. Your intentions are good, but the method is flawed.

However, if you decouple servers from the maps they play on, it would be possible to dynamically adjust the amount of total available maps based on population size (and use map-specific mechanics as underdog enablers if you so desire).
