Guild Wars 2

I think server transfers are too expensive nowadays.
Pre season 2 there was a week when people could switch servers for free, it didn’t really work out cause there was no limit to the amount of transfers. Just before that I took a break from gw2, I missed the free transfer.
Now my whole guild including my brother is on Gandara while I’m stuck on Underworld. Underworld is really bad at wvw, I can walk around in EB for 20 minutes without seeing anyone… I’d like to transfer to Gandara now but it’s just too expensive: 1800 Gems! That’s 30 euro’s!
Before the megaserver this might have been reasonable because you got all the benefits from another server. But now it’s just WvW. Can’t they make the transfer just a kitteneaper or make a 50% off weekend or something?

1.) That won’t happen. They might make system where transfering to lower tier servers is cheaper to balance the tiers some but I highly doubt they’ll lower the price for a gold league server such as Gandara.

2.) Maybe you can make a new acc on Gandara for the discounted price?

3.) We lack commanders not players. sure population is an issue(especially in off hours) but the main problem is that we don’t have enough commanders to keep people going.

And out of curiosity: Which guild were you in?

Use gold instead of buying gems. As long as your guild doesn’t hate you they will probably chip in.

I know it’s absolutely terrible but if you really need the gold you can just run dungeons for a week. This should be your last resort though because the pve in this game is so bad your brain might spontaneously shoot out your mouth and run out the door in an attempt to save itself.

Transfers should be cheaper than buying new accounts. The current sale price for the game would be an adequate price for server transfers.

Just my thoughts.

I was in The Searing, we merged a little while ago ans are now We Will Be Friends [NLT]

I think it’s fair.

It’s meant to deter people from transferring all over the show without to much thought or effort.

If you REALLY want to transfer, grind out that gold or suck it up and buy gems to do it. It’s not all that difficult. Albeit time consuming if saving gold.

Please update this anet.

Would love to see a scaling system based off how often you transfer. Say it starts at 400 gems for your first transfer, then 800, then 1200, 1600 and goes back down after a month or so.

People can’t dole out 1600 gems to test the waters of a new sever or tier.

It still doesn’t stop whole Guilds or individual players to transfer in I find, even when there are silly 30min long queues during prime time.
So I don’t think they will change anything, unless they actually give players incentive to move to lower pop Servers.

Well it used to as low as 800 gems to xfer to the lower servers. Then there was stealth change that put all servers to high population status and 1600 cost. While this may deter the poor pugs/militia from xfering it dosen’t stop the bandwagon imbalance problem. Now it just makes people more stuck in these bad matchups.

Need a new stealth change even if its back to the old way.
