Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, just a random idea to make wvw less of a blow-out.

Maybe it’s a good idea just to ignore total server population, but instead look at the WvW rank of servers to estimate transfer prices.

Last ‘wvw season’ they made it per ‘league’, but that was basically bad design cause it still lowered transfer prices for some high-end servers in the gold and bronze tiers, while making transfer prices for some bronze servers extremely high.

Solution: scrap the idea of adjusting transfer prices per league. Bronze tier transfer prices should simply be a LOT lower than transfer prices for silver and gold, while gold should have maxed transfer prices. In fact, all bronze servers should probably get free transfers.

I don’t think it’s the price that keeps people and guilds from transferring. I think it’s the knowledge that if they go to the lower tiers they’ll be bored out of their minds the vast majority of the day because there’s nothing to do.

Yeah it might have worked when it was suggested like a year ago.

Yep people are xferring up to find fights. Unfortunately I think the ship has sailed for evening out all Tiers. The trend of players stacking up will only get worse as more and more people leave the game. Right now NA is 24 servers, and from playing on 6-7 of them I would say Gw2 only has the population to support 12-15 servers total. Even then the bottom ones would be fairly low pop at off peak times.

Too late for that. Anet didn’t care and now people don’t care. People want activity whenever they pop in, and unless there was some organized movement to spread guilds onto lower tier servers, I don’t think most people would bother wasting time and money. The T4 server I was on was active for a small window of time and when we’d start playing, the only thing on the maps was a massive, siege creeping, enemy ktrain. The third server was imploding. Even NA T1 has dead zones.
