Guild Wars 2

What is the incentive for transferring to a lower tier server compared to the already stacked t1 servers Anet?

Queues were about the only thing that we could sell on, now that you’re making those obeselete there is nothing. I’m starting to think Anet doesn’t care about any tier outside of t1.

Being able to build up a server and see it climb the ranking?

nobody cares about that in NA, all they want is to transfer to t1 and get their fee paid for them.

At a glance, it could be impossible to get your League achievement unless you spend at least some time in the “real” WvW maps. 4 JPs, Castle captures and Ruins captures.

And since when are you speaking for everyone?
Just because YOU don’t care about it doesn’t mean no one else doesn’t

He’s not speaking for anyone, he’s making a perfectly logical deduction based on the activities of wagon-scrubs over the last 6 months.

I’ve stuck out a exodus and have succesfuly helped rebuild my server to no.5 so you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just saying it’s hard for a server like Sos to recruit guilds when
1. Almost all of them are in t1
2. If they are in the lower tiers they would rather go to t1 because of paid transfers

The only thing we had knowing was eventually once achievements come out queues would get out of control in t1 and guilds would start destacking but now that Anet are making queues not a factor anymore there won’t be a reason for anyone to transfer to ranked 4,5,6 to say ranked 1,2,3.

EU has some balance across the ranks, while NA has huge disparities at every level. #3 is massive compared to #4, #4 dwarfs #5, #5 has coverage that #6 can’t compete with, and so on down the ranks.

The few competitive matchups have been destroyed by server transfers to the servers at the top of Silver and Gold Leagues.

ELEVEN of the 24 servers in NA have been gutted since the introduction of RNG matches; TEN since the start of leagues.

The only two servers that didn’t experience any massive influx or outflux were Maguuma, SoS, and BP (though all three gained 2-3 guilds of moderate size).
Of those, only BP will reap any benefits, more due to the complete destack of the NA Silver League and only one viable competitor for 3rd.

Again, to sound like a broken record; the plan to limit WvW to a handful of servers so it can be removed from the game is proceeding smoothly.

Please….don’t make me turn to utter drivel like BF4 for multiplayer PvP

Take heart Rooster, that map won’t be ready by tonight. The suffering of those who spend 8 hours in queue will keep us warm through this ordeal.

We can reap the benifits by taking their lootbags from their PVE’ers.
