Guild Wars 2

I play in Gandara, not the best in terms of WvW but usually we have a small queue during peak times, but the last week or so the queue times have become ridiculous.
Waiting well over 1 1/2 hours just to get into EB … Has WvW become too popular?
Can’t they increase the capacity ?

Being a NA player I’m not sure where Gandara ranks, but it sounds like you’re on a higher tier server, with that in mind.

1) Increasing the cap won’t happen, they prevent massive outnumbering of enemies while also helping to keep lag down, the servers have a hard enough time with the cap currently, the game would likely become unstable if top tier servers started piling on even more players per map.

2) EBG, there’s part of your problem. EB tends to be one of the most popular maps and will often carry the longest que. That mixed with the wonky que system we currently have can make for brutal waits to get into EB on high pop WvW servers.

3) The Edge of the Mists map is coming, probably still a few months out at least, but it will put an end to que’s.

All that being said que’s also help to spread the population, you don’t want all your players on a few top servers unbalancing the whole deal, so if too many stack on one server que’s are a good incentive for players who don’t like waiting to move down a couple tiers to lesser populated servers so they don’t have to wait, thus helping to balance servers.

Weird rank 15 server have queue, but rank 1 server have outmanned in prime time.

Good servers don’t care about EBG
