Guild Wars 2

My first thoughts when i encountered this problem were the same as someone on the first page…

Why not just implement a system where the cap for WvW scales based around the server with the least population in WvW? Currently it goes like:

Server 1 has 200 people in WvW.
Server 2 has 100.
Server 3 has 50.

So server 1 has by far the most dominance during the night, simply due to numbers.

ANet say they don’t think anyone should suffer just because they play at a different time than others, but at the moment (in this example), people on Server 3 would be suffering simply because their server has a low night-time presence. Whether this is due to lack of international players or a low population in general is besides the point. Losing your hard work during ‘balanced’ playtime hours is a kick in the nuts for anyone.

I’m not a fan of the ‘’stop USA people playing on EU servers", plus there are ways around that anyway. I think a better solution would be one that simply doesn’t allow people to enter WvW while their server is already outnumbering the enemy. The outmanned buff also doesn’t really make for a great fight when it’s 10 vs 40. Much better to simply balance the amount of feet on the ground. Lowering the cap dynamically would be no different to the standard cap that’s already in place, thus, it wouldn’t be “punishing” someone for playing during certain (E.G. night-time) hours by making them que while their team is already highly populated.

Night cappers are wrecking our WvW up all night currently and it makes WvW extremely boring when i’m forced to play during the hours where we are outnumbered 2/3:1, or worse. I’m sure a lot of people feel the same. ANet say they don’t think anyone should be punished for playing at a certain time, but if you’re in this situation, you are punished. Simple.

Just my opinion.
