Guild Wars 2

I think most people are upset by the current state of WvW. Mainly because of population imbalances that are causing landslide victories. There are other issues of course, but I wanted to address a common argument that is made by people who seem to have no problem with landslide victories and thus 5 days of no activity. The argument is as follows:

“Anet has said that WvW is supposed to be an unbalanced fight.”

The people that say this are assuming that Anet apparently just throws 3 servers together and has them duke it out with no thought for population balance. This theory is patently wrong as they wouldn’t have bothered with a ranking system to try to pair like servers together.

There is also an error in their logic when they assume that the ‘Balance’ Anet is talking about is population. When it is more likely that they are talking about class structuring, i.e. There is no way to balance what would happen if 15 thieves rolled up against 3 rangers, 4 eles, a guardian, and 5 warriors.

If you truly believe that Anet’s vision for WvW is a week long slaughter fest every week, with the occasional lucky accident(SoR,YB,NS), then you are very pessimistic and I have trouble understanding why you even play the game when you know that they want it to fail.

I choose to believe that WvW is not working as intended and that they KNOW they need to address population imbalances in some way.
