Make the maximum players for a server playing on a wvw map ~140% of the server with the least amount of players currently playing wvw. This should fix the rediculous problem of having smaller servers being outnumbered 5 to 1. (no kicking players)

This would indeed lead to even bigger queue’s in some servers, but this would make a server transfer to a lower population server even more attractive. Now everyone just transfers to a winning server making wvw even more unbalanced. Nothing will change if nothing is going to be done about this problem. (stop being naïve and think that everything fixes itself over time.)
Hell this might even stop European guilds playing in American servers just to nightcap and Canadians/Americans nightcapping in European servers.

Dynamically scaling population caps have been suggested innumerable times over the last month. For the most part, its the only way to actually solve the population imbalance issue in wvw. Waiting for people to migrate on their own volition is only making the problem worse for many servers.

The problem is most people can’t see past the part of it making larger servers queues longer.

Well then they should add controlled server transfer then. Funneling people to lower pop servers would be nice.

Would also limit the night capping if everyone has the same population on a given map. And kitten get rid of the bots already!

I’ve been wanting this to happen for a while. It would give the overcrowded servers longer queues and force guilds to reconsider moves to servers that don’t have as much of a WvW minded player base.
