Guild Wars 2

There is so many people in EOTM that are lvl 80+ [We can see by specializations]
or damage that they do/take.

Limit EOTM to maximum lvl 60, and orient those people to WvW.
We have serious problems people playing EOTM and WvW lacks of people.

EDIT:
You miss the purpose of this thread guys, All i’m saying there are lvl 80s playing EOTM while Borderlands are empty. And all this people should be playing on borderlands. If we could transit this lvl80s trafic to Borderlands we would have a lot more healthy fights on maps that were intended for a lot bigger population as they expected to.

I know maps were not designed for leveling, but there is no real purpose in EOTM, and I cannot tell how people should play, but if core maps have issue in WvW, then something has to change, solution is here.

EotM is supposed to be for level 80 players – it’s an overflow for when maps are queued. It’s not supposed to be under level players trying to get XP to level up.

EotM keeps XP farmers out of WvW so I prefer it stays how it is.

The people you lock out of EotM may join WvW but then they’ll just want to karma train which is really boring. We don’t want those types of people in WvW.

We want people that want to fight.

I think if anything you should gate WvW and EotM so you can’t go in until you’re geared level 80. Nothing is going to put you off WvW more than dying constantly because you’re wearing yellows/greens or you’re level 56.

Dude… That map was NEVER meant to be a easy map to level or ktrain… Do you remember what EOTM was MADE for?

You make a good point Firelsym, but not exactly the way you intended. That map, it’s design and style… was indeed originally intended for WvW map ques… and you have validated that the intention of that (style) map failed it’s purpose… Firelsym, the new WvW borderlands map is the exact same style map. You’re most welcome to it! Only difference is the match lasts 168 hours instead of 3 and you’re limited to the population of your current server. Perhaps the Desert Borderlands map SHOULD be opened up to the EotM crowd? Or even swapped with the EotM map…/cringe.

Edit: my guild got bored during our WvW raid the other day… we went to EotM just to find people to kill… mapchat: why are there two tags here?
mapchat: it’s a wvw guild, they probably can’t find anyone to fight so they came here to farm lootbags
mapchat: ok, so, which tag do I follow?
mapchat: depends on if you want bags or if you want karma

Yeah it was made as a PvE map for the living story, but they decided to test WvW instancing while they where at it.

Actually the general idea is quite fair.
Eotm is a wvw overflow. No que – > no eotm. Simple as that.

I have never play on eotm before the new BL…. And now I play very often on this map…. Yeah the map is horrible, but at least we have people…. The new BL is the same KT, but with 2 people on your team and maybe 3 on the ennemy…
At least to do KT on eotm you have people to do that…
Recently I had more fight in EOTM that on the new BL…
Don’t kill eotm because the new BL map and mechanic are a big fail…

Removing eotm to try to save wvw it’s not the good answer…. Fix the new BL will be the best to do…

I can virtually guarantee you that EotM isn’t hurting WvW population as much as everyone thinks, and removing it won’t fix WvW woes whatsoever. Yea, there may be a small influx of people into WvW, but probably not even enough for any meaningful coverage.

The issues lie with the fact that WvW just has awful rewards and is absolutely boring for long periods of time, the blob vs blob fights are TOO big for my taste, and the new map is laughably awful (whoever designed it should seriously be fired.) I’d rather have little downtime in my ktrain while still having a decent amount of smaller skirmishes. VERY rarely do I see all 3 factions cooperate into a ktrain without fighting. Usually it’s two servers trying to ktrain while the other is out defending/ganking. The map is too small for all three to just ktrain around without running into each other.

I digress. If you want WvW “fixed,” destroying EotM wont suddenly make it happen. All it amounts to is petulant, childish “they’re having more fun than I am so let’s make everything suck instead.” Address WvW’s issues. EotM is a very, very small aspect of WvW’s issues.

WvW players: Get out of our maps. Go K-train/level in Eotm. Good riddance!

WvW players: No! wait..come back!

I also mixed it up. Most Wvw players go to EB now ….
So we have four maps?
Horay adapt them and we have three diffrent BL maps (EB, Alpine, Desert) and EoTM as instanced overflow map if needed.
