Yeah last night on HoD/EB the numbers I think were around 40-60 for ebg and 20’s in the other bl’s. Tonight I only noticed a queue for ebg in the low teens and one other bl in single digits after 9est.
FA and SOS seemed to have decent sized groups around.
now its all about zerg vs zerg = lag , 100 vs 100 all the aoe casting , cant even see what I am hitting anymore , and now even harder to level , you’ll be lucky to get to hit something more then once , if you are in a zerg group ,now they just run around looking for fight , that is NOT what everyone want Anet , many ppl go to wvw to farm , for loots , to cap , not everyone are into fighting , some of us are lover not fighter lol and guild mission , that is outta the question now , cant do wvw guild mission anymore , trying to get the whole guild in with queue ? yet right good luck with that , not all ppl wanna fight , some want loot , cap , people pick low server for a reason , now we are being FORCE by Anet
why cant ppl who want to fight ,let them Pay to transfer server ,leave a server for ppl who want do guild misson , cap , get loots , not really into 100 vs 100 + AOEs = LAG
or wait 30 min to 2 hours just to get in , this is guild wars 2 , NOT Waiting For Wars 2
but it seen like that is what it is becoming Waiting For War 2 lol
and 1 more thing , tomes of knowledge as reward ??? Useless , how many of us for over 100 ? we can buy more char slot for 800 gems to use them or get 1 shard per book
Anet want to make this fun for everyone , well , its not for everyone now ,
people who want high population server ,lot of ppl , fight they can transfer themself
leave a spot of some of us who work have family , and can only play hour at a time

Some servers (TC, BG, YB, etc) have looong queues because of the short sighted stacking that many guilds have done. Now the merger / reset has started and they are reaping their rewards… multi-hour queues.
It’s your own fault for not seeing the consequences of your actions. And on top of that, you helped ruin the experience for people who didn’t ask for you to transfer.
Have fun in your pvqueue.
It’s not the players job to regulate and control the populations. That’s Anet’s job. Population has been an issue for a long, long time. It was Anet’s job to fix it. To stop transfers, to force transfers, to shutdown servers, to merge servers. Whatever. But instead they sat back and collected the money while everything went downhill. They had all the metrics and could have easily seen the numbers of people moving to and from each server and stepped in when it became clear that things were out of hand. But they elected to take the transfer fees and act like nothing was wrong.
If you still insist on blaming the players then the lower tier servers are every bit as much to blame as the higher tiers. They are reaping what they sowed by not fostering a healthy and competitive wvw community. Which led many guilds to leave and seek the kind of wvw they wanted at the higher tiers.
If you stack a server and follow the biggest herd of course you are going to be in a queue. It’s not ANET’s job to hold your hand and tell you the facts of life. They have been trying to manage server pops but the zerg guilds keep gaming the system. Now those same zerg guilds sit in a queue and cry about it.
BG is the biggest zerg server, therefore they have the longest queues. You can’t have it both ways. If you want to fight and not be in a long queue then don’t join a zerg server or follow them when they decide to get cute and stack somewhere else.
They’ve been trying to manage server populations? Since when? A month or so ago? What about the past 1.5 to 2 years when it became very apparent to everyone that there was a problem? The server population issue wasn’t a new thing that suddenly happened that Anet jumped right on fixing. No, it’s been around for a very long time. And do you know how they tried to manage the issue?
…
That’s right, by doing absolutely nothing until recently. And somehow that constitutes “trying to manage the server pops” I’m very confused how you can possibly reach that conclusion. Enlighten me?
People move from the lower tiered dead/dying servers so that they can actually do something in wvw aside from a couple hours on reset and maybe some on Saturday night. Imagine if Anet had actually managed the server populations from the beginning and had kept the populations healthy across all the tiers. Imagine if they had made it so the guilds and players who wanted to focus on wvw could do so day in and day out instead of 6.5 days of pvd and 0.5 day of actual wvw. You know wvw where you’re actually fighting other players, defending against other players, breaking through other players defenses to take their stuff.
Imagine if they had been responsive to the simple things from the beginning like -
The list is pretty extensive of things that would have helped the wvw population. Little things that they chose to ignore which led to a lot of people leaving. Sure they’re doing something about things now but that’s in no way shape or form the same as “been trying to manage server pops” from the beginning.
Am I on a different server or something ?
JQ is Tier 1- we hardly managed to pop ques most of the day – if we did it was a few on EB BL.
Checked for a long period of time (4 am EST- 7pm EST)… It doesn’t seem that busy at all out there
I am on JQ as well, we are t1 but most likely dropping soon, alot of the guilds xferd off before the world linking and now we are locked on full, we will probably be a good fit for t2 as tc goes t1
Hey guys, I have requested this thread be locked, please check out this new thread, thanks everyone who posted their thoughts.

queue is like waiting for a table in the restaurant ,
until someone leave , you won’t get a table
Then your server must’ve been dead since day 1.
so your server have a queue since day one all the way until NOW ?
again i said my max time wait was 5 to 30 min wait MAX
you have to wait longer then that since day one ?
if not why you bring it up ?
also have you read some people waited 2 hours + ?
NOT everyone play 10 hours like you ,
people work , come home , wanna enjoy an hour or so
tell me if you will still be a happy camper if you have to wait 2 hours everyday from now on ok ?
if you only waited 30 min , I won’t mind that either
try 2 hours
Making a loooot of assumptions there.
… Last.
Simply take the pve track farmers in account. Once they have done them you wont see that much queues anymore. Anyway were just a day and half into this merge thingie. Lets complain when this takes longer?
quit kitten talkin about the queues :-P
The rest was transient or irrelevant.
