What were people expecting?
There has been multiple topics already started about this. Here is a main thread about the frustration. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Unfair-matchups-1/first#post4430213
Something fun…
The closest match ups possible happen every single week. What was everyone expecting for the tourney? To fight those same teams over and over? I don’t get why everyone is complaining. Please enlighten me.
Everyone is complaining because:
1. Players have pointed out that unbalanced matches are not fun since launch.
2. Anet has not done anything about it or even shown the slightest concern.
3. Anet then introduces mechanics into the game that increase the imblance.
4. Anet then has a competitive tournament with prizes for winning unbalanced matches.

This whole server vs server vs server thing is broken and never worked. They did nothing about it.
Is not just about a balanced matchup, because that is impossible. Because you can get a balanced one with server vs server mechanic. They should change it into something easier to balance, like factions, not servers. Something more dynamic, but not like EoTM, a middle point between EoTM colors and Server identity. Like every else pvp oriented game, that is factions and that work better than this in a lot of games before this.
The only way ANET will be able to fix wvw is server merging through the creation of world alliances via battle groups like WoW did for AV.
the thing is, i was expecting nothing but wvw as it is during off-season (not that it’s excellent then, you know what i mean) and anet let me down once again
