Guild Wars 2

Take a clue from sports. Or from medieval mercenary companies. Allow players/guilds to transfer to other servers for a reward. The less populated and lower-ranked the new server the higher the payout.
They’d only be able to do WvW for this new server, PvE and sPvP are still domain of their home server.
They would receive continuous rewards and/or loot/WXP buffs for the time of the stay (which would be non-definite and open-ended, presumably), but only till a certain point (temporal/economical) to prevent abuse.
Binding rewards to transfers to outnumbered servers would likely lead to a healthier pop distribution while not impacting PvE in any shape or form.

I could now theorycraft in depth about perfect length of stay:rank of server:reward ratios or anti-abuse mechanics, but what matters is the basic idea of server mercenaries, I’ll leave the specifics to the devs.

I relinquish any intellectual property to this idea.

Didn’t someone suggest something like this, kinda like overflows?

That and my suggestion are like night and day.

Yes yes and yes! That would be awesome! Linking another thread to this one.

or just make it free to transfare from full to empty wvw servers

Transfer costs will not be linked to WvW tiers, because there is a much larger PvE population to consider. The best they can do is link it to server population, which is already in place. Sadly server population is usually not a very good indicator of WvW population.

A way to allow guilds to easily move between servers only for WvW purposes will go a long way in solving all the stacking and imbalance problems we are having.
