Throwing a match to avoid T1 servers?
That is easy there are better fights are in t-2 and t-1 is cancer.
To be fair, SoS also picked up a few JQ guilds, I believe vX and TW are on the GoM link? TWs a pretty massive guild with a lot of commanders, they can really boost server activity.
Former top 50 spvp engi main.
Tw and guilds like them are also cancer to a server… they came to TC collected people and moved after almost destroying the wvw community.
JQ paid 34,000 gold to move them there and they did the same thing they did on tc. Came in, tried to take over and when they kittened off enough people, they moved again.
Anyway… the new scoring system is part of what is killing wvw.
Look at tc. It’s lost almost 75% of its wvw players in the last 6 months and 2 weeks ago only had a 5.3% chance of tier 1.
On reset last week… TC of course, got tier 1 and with the scoring changes (even though we are losing massively) we are moving UP in Glicko instead of down.
TC barely even has numbers now to que a single map. Anet did open TC today for transfers after months of being locked, but I doubt it will last more than a few days or that we will ever have good numbers for wvw like it was just a year ago.

Forgot to add that TC doesn’t want to be tier 1 simply because we just do not have the numbers to play in that tier… honestly… while in tier 2 we were outnumbered and losing. There is no logical reason that our Glicko should be going up… none at all.
Right now… wvw is just a numbers game. If you have the people you win…
Before Hot expansion.. 10 really goodon’t players could take on 30 players but with all the damage changes those days are over.
Now days it is all stacked and linked servers and scoring changes that are locking almost empty wvw wise servers like tc into tiers they shouldn’t be in. Until they make changes, tc will be locked in tier 1 because if we are moving UP now… when we are losing so badly that we barely have 30 on all the maps combined in primetime… I would hate to see our score if we actually had a population.
We’re going to go ahead and close this thread as match-up threads are not permitted on the forums.
