Guild Wars 2

Since the Skirmishes update, I’m almost positive that either queues are bugged or ANet reduced maximum population size. Maybe I missed the notes where it said that but lately, there have been queues on maps that are definitely not full. Either that or a ton of people are AFK somewhere.

I’m currently waiting in an EBG queue of 20 people. I switched characters and just before I left, we had 1 commander with 25 people tops on the tag, maybe 10 people that I could see at the hill waypoint and another 10 or so at keep. No guilds running that I’m aware of. I immediately noticed queues coming up after the patch when it seemed like there were far too few people to be putting a queue on it.

Of course there are roamers and such but something just feels off about the population caps lately. I apologize if I’m just imagining things or if I completely missed a patch note but I could almost swear that it’s buggy if it wasn’t intentional.
