The free world transfer is affecting WvW
You kind of answered your own question in the opposite way. Your guild is planning to leave Eredon Terrace, this is the exact reason WHY the system is flawed.
Free world transfer will remain till guesting comes and it MUST remain till they have an idea of how to make each server balanced. When Blackgate turns into the next Henge of Denravi and they get bored just steam rolling all the servers they’ll quit because they wont want to pay a transfer fee to an already flawed system. And this will happen to a lot of other servers who are forced to lose week after week due to over population or under population.
Free transfers is affect WvW, but if it wasn’t there, It would be absolutely disastrous.
Anyone who transferred are bad players looking for an easy win.
I play on Sea Farers rest and we are doing terrible because we have no numbers. However the players who do still play are really good at PvP
