Guild Wars 2

Megaserver is ruining this game.

My guild is PvX and having to make sure someone is on our home world before inviting them is getting quite annoying. I feel terrible having to deny someone for being from a different server, but we just don’t want to risk spies for WvW purposes.

We have organized Temple runs that we only do twice a week, but since the megaserver we haven’t been able to do any of them. We used to get a whole lot of other guilds on the server to come with us and we always succeeded in our runs. Now, no matter how hard we try to set it up, we end up on a map with way too many people. They constantly fail Gates of Arah because they don’t listen when told how it upscales. We can never get onto the same maps as other guilds from the server because instead of being able to wait for everyone to gather, there are randoms from many other servers trying to do all the events all at the same time. It’s incredibly frustrating for guildies to have to ferry or be ferried over to the same map because of population. People used to look forward to our temple runs, but now it’s just bringing disappointment.

It’s hard to do guild missions with such high population maps. So far we’ve only had this issue with the bounty because we picked one to kill in Kessex Hills for the lowbies and we had to ferry a lot of people onto the map. I’m very worried about randoms interfering in a guild challenge or puzzle and causing us to fail them. We’ve never had much of a problem with that because of the general lack of people around to mess stuff up.

I miss my server. Yes, I can still see people I know in cities, but out in the open world I’m surrounded by strangers. Even if the map has some people from the server and then is filled with randoms from other servers, it really ruins the community. And this is especially true for those of us who play a lot in WvW; it instills a lot of server pride and things just feel less like home with so many other people from other servers all over the place.

Please ANet, megaserver is NOT a good idea. I understand your intentions, but this just isn’t working. I’ve read through most of the first page and I’m sure you’re seeing how this is ruining the game for a lot of people. This idea needs to implemented in a different way.

TL;DR : My guild is suffering. No more server pride. Megaserver sucks, please fix.
