It’s been happening repeatedly to me that I’m in Dry Top, making some progress in getting the instance to T4, and I get the “We’d like to close this map, would you like to transfer” prompt. Seeing as things are kind of slow and T4 looks iffy, I say yes. Only to land in an instance that is considerably less far along in the tier progression.
Thanks, ANET, for wasting my time, and for making it unnecessarily hard to find a good map instance!
When deciding which Dry Top maps to close, the Megaserver should take into account not just population but also tier advancement. If possible, tier advancement should rise in priority the closer we get to the sand storm. Otherwise, it is not only not helping, it’s frustrating and actively counterproductive.
