WvW after time
Well said and totallly agree.
But not sure if Anet would understand this though.

Well, as to TS communication, or server openly invited the other servers to our TS and many of the players came in and were welcomed. So maybe openness would help the communication problem.
We invite the other servers to our meetings(very short and concise on or server and only once a week).
You say the desert ruined WvW. There was a vote taken and the current setup was voted in by actual players responding to the poll. If you didn’t respond because you were avoiding WvW that is you fault(not the OP – just a general statement to WvW players who wonder why the desert part is back).
Gliding may very well come into play one day, but ANeT needs to make sure that you can’t simply glide over walls. Too much imbalance there.
The Outnumbered part was what server merging was implemented to help with. But if the loses keep happening even though there are lots of people, then something else is responsible. Also, I noticed with one match up the one server rarely left EBG, with only a few of their players joining us in the other BLs. We lost a lot then, but we also won a few.
The big picture here is WvW players complain a lot. In the past it fell on deaf ears, but now ANeT is listening if you haven’t noticed. Instead of posting and saying that “everyone” is quitting WvW, keep posting what improvements you want to see. The change may not be super fast, but change will happen. ANeT is no longer sitting in an enclosed keep looking down on the masses and making them play their way. That king left. A new king is responding to his/her subjects. Now get out there and encourage your WvW friends to play and submit ideas and problems – and try to have solutions.
Special note to ANeT filters: How does “who” and “responded” become kittenponded? I had to edit my response to make it not look like I was swearing.

We done same for TS but in the end few players in one server few in other no one using anymore TS. As for Desert BL the most players voted Desert just because was no option for to say Alpine Desert or something else so we imagine they will not create something else, anyway going to any server and doing a monitor of gameplay how many are reallu play on desert? XD. Improvements for wvw yes i want to see some balanace matchups , right now i see my server winning one match after losing agaisnt blobadon server and night shift servers so since i know i dont have any chance to get even near of the final score what is the point to play and fight anyway, and here is where my guildies and other players say this week i go play some other game and you dont see them anymore back anless they bring any big patch. Bring some good captive objective for WvW something to make players stay on game a objective and not a lost cause after few hours.
Actually, I believe they are working on another BL.
The server merger was and is an ongoing attempt to alleviate the constant losing due to mismatched server size. Not a perfect fix. One of the problems was server animosity. Several serves have such strong negative feelings for each other that they can’t work together, or simply refuse to. And some players don’t want to get in TS because of the level of “jerk” in the channel. Many different reasons – too much swearing, anti-“group” statements, arguing, etc. So they opt for just staying on whatever voice chat with friends.
The latest skirmish experiment is to try and create a situation where, even though you may lost the overall match, you have a chance to win a few sets. Again, like server merging, not perfect. It’s hard to beat servers that heavily recruit to stack the deck against other servers.
The initial full WvW desert BL implementation was tested by players, who gave a negative reaction to it, but it was implemented because ANeT had already done so much work and were going to do it anyway. Remember, the king of that time is gone. When he left things changed and ANeT started listening more intently to the players.
In the overall picture ANeT is trying a heck of a lot more than in past years to improve WvW. I don’t think WvW’ers are giving them enough credit. ANeT is listening and actually trying to implement player suggestions. These changes don’t happen overnight so give them time. Encourage your WvW friends to submit ideas and to point out problems. Simply complaining and leaving the game because changes don’t appear immediately will solve nothing.

In some you got right i know that they working and i know need time i know of my self how much take to design objects in any software, but as i said ,,after time’’ since past years i see players gave up to complain even. If no one complain and no one gave suggestions then means all is ok, where i dont really see that. Im waiting but when even friend list is offline even guild list is off then i will go even and coming back will not be easy.
The problem was they were complaining and making suggestions when a certain someone didn’t really care. He chose other priorities and ignored the complaints. I can understand the frustration of those who finally gave up.
It also doesn’t help that the big servers are soaking up all the players they can get, leaving other servers void of players. Their deep pockets of gold cannot be matched by lesser servers. Not to mention the band wagoners who just want to win no matter how boring and blobby it gets. I’m happy to be on a mid-sized server. Queues are smaller and the matches can be challenging.
I’m sure we’ve lost quite a few players for good. I can see it at times. Don’t know what server you’re on but if it is nearly empty think of moving to a slightly larger server, staying away from the T1 and T2 ones. Mindless blobs are boring.

It seems like they are trying to stop players from leaving wvw, instead of bringing players back. WvW has always been unable to keep players in it. A-net will probably introduce some high end reward for wvw after they fix more of it issues. Wvw gameplay has not changed much at all since the beginning. I can not thing of a way to change its gameplay to make it more casual friendly for newer players.
They will work on another borderland since DBL is permanent now. Hopefully the next BL is more like alpine bl with towers being able to siege some keeps. I wish they would work on high end rewards for wvwer (legendary backslot/siege or the ability to upgrade hero/triumphant armor into better looking gear).
