Guild Wars 2

Wut? Im having lots of fun on our ‘lower’ placed server Gunnars Hold. I dont need or want to be on a major que server like sfr or fsp.

TBH, there is a lot of fun in silver. (AG says hi to GH, and awaits our next match up!)
Bronze is more or less dead. but even there you can have fight as a roamer\guild raid. they will be less often thou, but still.
And, imo what you propose never gonna happen for 2 reasons:
1. Devs have no incentive to give gems. They make there money of it.
2. This will not help, actually. Ppl will transfer back pretty soon.
I think the only viable way is to rework every server while making a total number up to 6\9 and having a tournament system, with point per win, where every server face every server.
This will make transfer pointless, because you will face everyone in a 6 week time.
This will, however raise the que on every map, so they will have to raise the cap or make more maps. And the community’s are gonna be a problem.

I wouldn’t be so sure that those servers have major queues, besides queue to EB. I don’t have any secondary accounts on other servers, so all I can trust is some screenshots by the players of those servers. At least few weeks ago FSP didn’t have queues outside EB, but after that FSP has gained more players. Perhaps players of those servers can comment this?

Desolation has recently lost of a lot of guilds, but also gained a few and few old legends and guilds are back, which means a lot, at least point wise. Currently we can fill 1-3 of the 4 maps in prime time and outside prime time there aren’t usually queues.

I would still argue that EU top tiers have the most epic battles and also some crazy roaming. I have both succeeded and failed capturing enemy keeps with just 1-2 guys and yes, I do that in prime time as well. The biggest advantage of TOP3 EU is that there is always lots of action, no matter what time of the day you play.

I think the only way to revive silver and bronze leagues is to:
- offer better rewards for playing WvWvW (more achievement points, better loot from the chests, unique skins, salvageable WvWvW gear etc)
- cheaper transfer costs to lower ranked servers

Unless both of these are implemented, I don’t see any major revival for silver and bronze.

Even if a lot of players transfer from top servers to lower ranked servers, these servers eventually rise up towards the top and bandwagoning has destructive effects to the server (increased drama etc).

It’s unbalance-able, people want to win so they bandwagon.

Blame the players not the game.

I think this topic needs to be deleted. The OP deleted his topic and now it seems like I am replying to no-one

I’m on fsp and I rarely have to wait in a queue. Longest time I had to wait in queue within the last 2 weeks was 5min (that was at reset night)…
