Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know if ArenaNet is working on fixing how WvW server matching works? I’m currently on Sea of Sorrows, no one even bothers to enter WvW anymore. Even organized groups are stomped by massive blobs that seem to populate the other servers 24/7. It makes joinng WvW unenjoyable and pointless.

I want to participate in WvW, but right now it’s impossible and frustrating. I’d really love a genuine response about this. It’s a problem, and it’s only getting worse every week. An official response regarding this from a moderator or developer would be fantastic.

For the most part, WvW is broken. Obviously other servers will disagree but the fact of the matter is at least one third of your game population is getting shafted by the way matching it operates.

Is there a way some kind of mercenary system could be implemented? A way people from other servers can join an opposing server when their’s is full? Even an incentive to do so, like bonus EXP or whatever?

The server matching problem has been known for 3 years. During this time only “fixes” anet has made are about transfer gem cost and locking most populated servers (which players keep complaining about).

If you accept that there are “servers” and each player has complete freedom to transfer between servers, you end up with full servers and empty servers. People will always want to join winning side and in wvw the server with more people will win.

If you accept that some servers have more players and some less, you end up with uneven matches. Only other system would be never change matchups and keep same size servers fighting each other forever. Both are really bad and boring.

No. If they are working on it, they are keeping it a secret.

What I fear is that they are busy with raids, and the team is too small to also consider WvW or anything else really.
