Whiteside Ridge and WvW
You know why?
Because noone cares in WR about WvW. I regulary see people farming Wolves for gold, instead of defending the Garrison 50 meters away from them. It’s only 1 zerg (WvW-Guild and MDA mostly) and these guilds just dont have the numbers like other servers have.
WR hasnt even a functional community forum. Reddit guild is huge(has the numbers and could have the structure), but consisting mostly of casuals who dont play anymore and people who don’t want to spend any money for upgrades.
Last week someone from my guild talked to people from Piken Square and they said “If we are bored, we dont go for Orr and jumping puzzles. We go invade your homelands.”
WR has no functioning big alliances who transfered from other MMOs and no organisation. If you want WvW, you should change the server while its free and accept the waiting times.

Yes I think it will be time to change server,because this is insane! I can’t use this feature in this game, I can’t have fun because of the ranking system we always end up with the same 3 full servers…no matter if we lose or not. always. it feels like a joke!
Not true. Some people do not shrink away from a challenge, which WR certainly is at the moment.
The true parts is that we’re too fragmented atm. Too many people not in a guild, or in small unorganized guilds.
We do not have the required coordination; but even more important: We do not have the night crew. Drakkar is a good enemy during prime time – during off hours, they slaughter us.
We also do have an alliance: Whiteside Pact. It is far from perfect – yet – but some people work at making that better.
I guess it is normal, that most people choose the easy way out when losing; but do not think all do! Some try to fix what needs fixing, and keep fighting.
So short answer: Switch server, if you’re looking for the easy way out – or join an organized guild, if you want to work at actually improving things.

You’re not up against good servers… there are just 3 worse than you guys, and if it makes you feel better, losing this week will put you in the bottom bracket, so you might actually do OK! The ranking system isn’t pitting you against servers that are miles better than you.
I’m on Piken Square and lead a small sized guild that usually has 5-10 in WvW each night. Last week was the first time we’ve ever dominated like that… so much so that we ended WvW nights early because there was nobody coming out of your base. We actually held a Tower (claimed as a guild) from Saturday morning until Thursday morning. It’s not difficult to have 5 or 10 players assault a tower with no defenders, but it just didn’t happen from you guys.

Good points: But even against you guys, we actually did well during EU prime time. You wiped us completely during night time/working hours though.
People need to appreciate that there is limited organisation inter-guild on this server. It’s not “unfair” and we’re not really massively outnumbered. We ARE however massively fragmented as Askil mentioned above.
In my eyes the solution lies with;
- Individual players joining organised guilds, communicating with voice servers and with good advice on sound tactics.
- Small disorganized guilds merging into bigger, organised guilds or combining to form more substantial units. There are TOO MANY chiefs and not enough indians.
- Alliances which are being organised need to stop bumping heads and start working together. Why waste four times the administrative progress for four alliances that all have common goals.
The “Little Hitler” grasps for power need to STOP. If ever there was a banner available to rally under this sort of issue is it.
Contact any member of [Asg] or Inuko for further information regarding merger, combinations and our alliance.
In general, alot more people should work towards solving these problems, with the tools we actually do have available, instead of whining.
I bet most of these problems could be solved if people just got better organized, improved communications and coordinate their efforts better.
What seems like a minority, actually are trying to work towards that, while others just complain or jump servers.
PS. Free transfers to higher populated servers need to stop.
