What if the losing server gets a buff based on the score
And as the points difference get bigger this buff olwould
Stack. That way low populated servers would have a chance

in order to be fair to individual players, this would need to be based on current PPT rather than overall score.

if you play during a time of day when your PPT is very low, then you should get the buff even if your server has a huge overall lead. otherwise your gameplay is being penalized just because other players on your server (in other time zones) are doing well.

but in that case, imagine the crying from the people in your time zone but playing on the other servers: “omg that server has a huge overall lead and they have the buff! how is this even remotely fair? it just makes it that much harder for us to catch up on the scoreboard! thanks anet for kicking us when we’re down!”

either way, somebody is going to complain. what we need is a mechanic that makes it harder to pull ahead, the farther in front you already are. but done in a natural way that doesn’t make it feel like you’re being penalized during your gameplay time just because other people who played before you were doing well.

During the season, the losing servers should worry about making sure they don’t lose a lot of Glicko points. Your overall server ranking is the tie-breaker used throughout the season, so it shouldn’t be taken for granted.
