Now that the game is getting older, many guilds are dying off and people are moving to new guilds. I, for one, have been in this position of finding a new guild. Now that I have found it, it turns out the most of the people play on a different WvW server than me.

Why can’t the server you play on be tied to the guild you are representing? I think one of the biggest frustration is that you join a guild only to find out most of the members are not on your server. There is no way to know this ahead of time and most people are looking for a good group of players; trying find that AND on the WvW they are currently on is tough.

I think if Anet created an option to make you pick your server for WvW (no free changes, one shot) then the population would be much happier. True, Anet might lose some $$ from the charge to transfer servers but I think this would be a greater win for the community.

Guilds will continue to be shifting and I don’t think it’s right to ask a player to pay for several server transfers because he wants to enjoy WvW with the new guild he has found.

Pretty sure any WvW guild do say which server they are on when they are recruiting. If you joined a guild that is from another server it’s entirely your fault or the guild that you joined is dumb for not saying which server they belonged to.

Now if your guild transfered off your server, well, they paid to move, so you either pay too or find another.

I think it would be easier to have the WvW server tied to the guild. The guild could pay to do the server transfer if they wanted to instead of “paying” people to transfer.

Wouldn’t you know what server the guild is on inside WvW? Or did you join from PVE?

And are you saying that each time you move into a new guild you get a server transfer?

Oh no, that wouldn’t be gamed at all.

Nope.

If your guild is truly spectacular and you’ve found a home, then move to them. If you can’t move to them because the server is full, then either convince them to move to a lower tier, or find another guild. Sorry.

What you’re suggesting is a way to jam in more people into already full/overcrowded servers via the guild tied to servers method. You’d be shoving out people who are already there.

“Rotteny.8743 Pretty sure any WvW guild do say which server they are on when they are recruiting.”
This is not necessarily true. When recruiting I post Devona’s Rest as our home server when we have people on other servers as well that left when DR took a rank and population dive. Basically Cajun for you and people like you it would be best to find a guild that doe’s not move and help build them from there. And yes there are guilds like that out there.

There are a lot of factor why guilds become so but it is mainly a problem for PvX guilds. For PvX guilds, it is obvious since they are PvX which means they do recruit PvE players and PvE is a megaserver, but not all are literally PvX guilds. Most PvX guilds are just PvX in name, most just do PvE. The number of true PvX guilds that does WvW to the point that some ignorance people actually see them as WvW guilds are very few in numbers, even then, those true PvX guilds do advertise their server as well.

Still, it is a problem, a long term problem because new players are forced to choose a server right a start without a chance to actually find a guild to do wvw with. Their options are limited right from the start and indirectly forced to pay for transfer if they found guilds in other servers. The only solution for all new players is to make server non-mandatory from the start, free transfer token is not a good option since it can be unfair to those who are unlucky in finding guilds and thus forced to use their token which they can store for future use. It must be a fair solution.

Your idea has merit, the problem is some people would abuse it. People flock to the winning servers causing imbalance. It’s one of the big problems in wvw right now. If you could simply switch guilds and get an instant transfer it would be chaos.

The other factor, as you mentioned, anet makes money from people buying gems to transfer so it’s not likely they will change it.
