Guild Wars 2

Currently it depends on server ranking, so if your server is very successful and stays on top, or stays at bottom for weeks, that means you will always fight with the same color.
If you are trying to complete map on t1 servers, you will understand what I mean.
It’s really a mess on t1/high-grade servers as we very rarely cap enemy keeps or garrisons(at non-prime time hours which many players can’t be online) , every team just try to hold/defend their own side. That means we have to spend about 10x more time than mid-ranked servers just to complete WvW, which isn’t fair.
In my opinion, team color needs to be separated from ranking, thus color variation would allow us to play from different aspects of WvW maps and allow us to complete maps in a normal sequence. My server has been green for more than a month(maybe more) without having any different color.

If you don’t care about WvW (sounds like it, since you just want map completion) you can always transfer to another server… Now with the megaservers, the only thing that can keep you in a server is if you are loyal to it’s WvW.

Now you gonna say “So I will have to pay to get my map completion?”. Well, your other options are: Hoping Anet to do a change (unlikely) or Helping your server to capture the points you need (sound unlikely to me too, as you don’t seen to be a wvw player).

After the leagues you will more likely swap colors.

I care about WvW and play WvW like at least 2 hours per day, but I still can’t get a WvW completion on my new alt because of constant green team assignment.
I currently already have 3x world completion on my other characters, but none of them were that hard. Spending 3400 gems(1000, +2400 for returning to home server) for just a WvW completion is not so logical. This is why I suggested color variation per matchup. I’m not looking for a solution with current status(as I already know them), this is why I suggested this as a QoL improvement for all players. With current status I’ll desperately wait for another month, hoping that my server gets some garrisons&eb keeps when I’m online.(prime time) Maybe it starts to alternate again after the tournament.(I hope)

typically the green team is the strongest team, the team that can roll in and take other team’s stuff if they want to.

your best option is to get your server to go and take the objectives you need for map completion.

failing that, wait until the tournament is over and we are back to having randomized matchups. then there will be some color variance, unless your server’s rating is so high that it’s guaranteed to always get green (in which case your server is strong enough to just take the objectives you need, see above).
