Guild Wars 2

Hi, was just going to return to the game with the new pvp updates and learned that there is no longer free server transfers to get into the world pvp fighting. Thanks to this I am stuck on a server that does poorly in WvW thus I am uninstalling the game until free transfers come back. WvW balancing by game devs have never worked in my experience and to eliminate the option to move to servers is a game breaker for me. Good luck fighting the zerg servers, this like this usual break game populations.

Good Luck

You can actually still free transfer to some servers until April 1st. The removal of free transfers was done to stabilize the wildly fluctuating population caused by people leaving their server as soon as it started doing “poorly” and jumping to one that was doing well. So basically you’re asking for the population to remain stable but for you yourself to be able to transfer to a server that’s currently doing well. That’s impossible.

It is because of the free transfers, and fairweather players like yourself that we have such massive server imbalances in the first place

No, it’s not impossible, he just has to pay gems for it. :P

That is only to medium size server.
On the other hand if you delete all your characters transfer is free to any server and that is not just until April 1st either(still once every 7 days).

If you look at the current scores, you could see that most matches are actually fairly balanced. There is no team completely dominating and no team that is getting steamrolled – point gaps seem to be only around 10,000.

So with that, ladies and gentlemen, I give to you an extreme fairweather player. I’m in DR, and we have the second-largest point gap from the winning team in all NA matches currently. And yet… all I see in my server is people having fun. OP does not care at all about having fun, he simply wants to win. Win, win, win. If his team falls below by a few thousand points, they suck and he needs to join the winning team. WIN!

I can’t understand how people prefer winning over challenge, teamwork, and coordination. While you fairweathers whine about losing (even though you may be in one of the top tiers), I’ll enjoy my server losing in tier 6, because even though we’re losing we all have fun and we work great as a team.

Ugh, I was in favor of free transfers before I saw this thread. I think free transfers would be great because it would allow players to find their perfect homes. I transferred around quite a bit before I found my perfect server, but I knew when I came that this was my place to be because I enjoyed the friendly people around me — Thus, I believe it would be a great way to find a server that meets your social preferences. However, it’s because of fairweathers like OP that ruin it. We can’t allow free transfers because fairweathers would hop around and create imbalance, just because they like to win.

I am a Devonian for life. I will never leave, not even if Grenth himself dragged me through the Mists.

TL;DR free transfers would be an amazing idea if there was no fairweather
