As a player from a tier 1 server I currently face queue times of over 2 hours during peak times. I’m quite worried what the queue times will become once we get seperate achievements + rewards for WvW next month.
Is there any plan to increase the amount of players per map? Or maybe a better queue system where we can see our place + estimated time in line?
Before anyone states the obvious, I was at this server when it was still a bottom tier server which was 3 weeks after launch. I don’t plan on moving because of all the freeloaders that moved here suddenly (including a few big guilds which dropped us suddenly, now return to reap the rewards soon, it’s quite a disgusting happening).
Which Tier 1 server is getting 2 hour queues? I know its not BG because I play during all timezones and even reset (where the longest queue is) doesn’t have a 2 hour queue. Id assume its not JQ because they have less attendance than us. I can only guess its SOR NA prime?
So you don’t like queue sand refuse to move. No sympathy.
You kittening kidding?
Some of us refuse to move because a server has been choose as our home from the start.
We didnt ask for bandwagons and free transfers.
The fact that there isnt even a proper queue system yet is a joke.
I dont think you can even call it a queue system, more a system that randomly decides who gets in.

This last weekend I queued for 6 hrs+ both Saturday and Sunday to get into Eternal borderlands and never got in…yes I am on a tier 1 server too.
Going to get worse when the leagues appear…

ArenaNet queue “system” has been limping along since beta. Another crucial system that some don’t trust to do the right thing.
As to the queues on T1, I left there partly because of them, and now Anet wants everybody to jump to T1 or T5 (NA), or T1, T4, or T7 (EU) with that not ready for prime-time league concept.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on the queuing issues been fixed in the nearest future.
And allowing more players into a zone isn’t the right way to go, since the servers can barely handle 30v30 action without breaking down, resulting in heavy skill-lag and such.
As others have pointed out it’s bound to get worse the closer we get to the season 1, as people will obviously want to have an easy ride for their precious rewards, with minimal to no effort, and that leads them to jump to already over-stacked servers like the one your on.

30v30 is actually fine on NA. We don’t get skill lag until 60v60v60.
The guilds that left SFR did it to force the bandwagoners out, not in some grand scheme to reap some rewards like you are suggesting. Once the bandwagon guilds/players left they came back to the server they love and worked hard for. Sad to see that the cycle seems to be repeating.
I predicted this would happen. SFR has the superior numbers and coverage to win EU gold league, but long queues might shuffle the deck as it happened before. In Spring 2013 the free transfers caused massive amount of players to bandwagon to SFR. As result many hard core guilds could not have their raids or even get to WvWvW. This lead to mass exodus away from SFR. Now SFR is super stacked again and I heard they got queue to EB even at 8 am in the morning (can somebody confirm this?). Time shall tell if the history will repeat itself.
Luckily Desolation doesn’t have any queues worth mentioning. Our challenge is the lack of players, especially in the morning. I was commanding this morning + afternoon) at Deso BL. We got got control all keeps + towers on that map, but then Riverside came with zerg + 9 golems (“nice”). Time to cook lunch, then capture the keeps back. 4 WXP ranks in 3 hours of commanding and I think Deso players who followed me got their daily + hundreds of loot. Not bad.
I think it is up for the players to decide. Do they want to be on the winning super stacked server, which means long queues and less time spent on WvWvW. Or play on server with smaller WvWvW population. No queue, but also not going to win the league nor end up in top 3 (as all top 3 servers are gonna become super stacked).

Honestly, AP hungry PvErs will come in the first 2 weeks, get their Meta done and then leave. What is needed for the meta, no idea, but I assume it’s going to be capture heavy, 2 week of karma trains before the ‘real’ matches start.
Any major WvW guild with 30+, I would recommend not having high expectations of getting onto a map all together for the first 2 weeks.

My fun laughs at your server pride.

Yes, there was a queue in the morning around 7am-9am, it was only a short 10-15min queue. We like to get the day off to a good start, a coffee (or 3) and a golem rush…
