I noticed that there are no (FR) US servers.
This kind of distorts EU rankings because Canadians are playing on (FR) EU servers.
What this means is the EU FR servers are extremely high populated and have maximum players in wvw during all times.
This leads to boredom on every side: the EU FR servers own everything in wvw quickly and are bored after that, because there is nothing to do in the game really.
The opposing EU servers are bored because they have no chance in accomplishing anything in wvw.
This should in no way be complaining. Just pointing out that it can’t be in arenas intention, that players log out because they feel the only way to compete against opposing servers is to bore them to death and making them go to sleep by not trying to retake anything in wvw (making them log out doesn’t really work, because Canadians are awake when French people are asleep and the other way around).
In the long run this will kill the game, in my opinion.
Again: not complaining. I had fun defending the very last keep in EB to complete enemy wvw domination for hours with a handful of people and seeing the opposing server pulling every dirty trick out of their behind to get this last keep (this did only work because keep was fully stocked on supplies).
But we decided to not do this again, because there is no sense in doing this repeatedly, because the lols wear off quickly and by doing this, we only keep the other server ‘motivated’ instead of leaving the wvw or complaining to arena that wvw matches make no sense against low populated servers.

Tell me more about these Canadians, I need to know.
You lost me at the first sentence. Of course there are no FR [US] servers, the US does not speak French. While there is no “official” language of country, it goes without saying that the US is an English speaking nation.
Canada is not so official as half the country speaks French. It makes perfect sense for them to want to play on Euro servers where the majority of the population speaks the same language.
I know you say you are not complaining but you really are. You just don’t want to play on a server where people are not playing during the same timezone as you, like all the rest of the self entitled people complaining about “night capping.”
Though please don’t take offense, I am simply responding based on your post.
I just learned about the term nightcapping. That doesn’t bother me really, but if you put a French server in a timezone where loads of people will play from another timezone, how can you match EU servers? If there must be a term applied to it, it could be all around the clock capping, because there is a maximum of players from french speaking countries at all times.
What alternative do you have as a Canadian, speaking french? You can’t play on an american server, if you want to speak french, so you got to choose an EU server where nothing is happening during Canadian peak times after you conquer all.
So I still think a US, or let me say, North American (FR) server would be cool.

Just remove national servers or give every eu country own server.

I’m currently playing on Vizunah in the main WvW alliance, i can tell you that most of the night roster isn’t made by a majority of canadian but by a majority of metropolitan french who are ajusting their sleep time to wake up between 03h00 – 05h00.
I don’t think that the non-metropolitan night players exceed 30%.
french should get there own servers or get transfered to the americans they love 24/hr none stop pressure.
