Guild Wars 2

Not only are the queues long but population is always imbalanced. WHENEVER my guildmates are dying to 10x their numbers in WvW what am I doing ? SITTING in a queue. Why is it that pop cap on each map is shared across all 3 servers so that out 900 people 500 are from one server/300 from one/ our server gets 100? Gee thanks Anet.
Servers with lower pop should have their queue’s eliminated until pop is balanced. Once population is balanced you can enable a queue. There shouldn’t be a queue for a server that is outbalanced in a fight and dying to a zerg 10x bigger.

I could have sworn the cap for each map wasn’t shared like that, but that each server has a set number of people they’re allowed to field.

It would be useful to know exactly how the capping and queuing works. There are a lot of speculative posts about it but only ArenaNet knows for sure.

If could be a flat cap of 500 per server and when that is full a queue forms, but it could be something a bit more intelligent that tries to maintain a balance even when there are fewer players… that may well lead to a situation though where it’s always the server with the fewest players in WvWvW that dictates the numbers before other servers are queued.
