Read the suggestion again.
The suggestion states that “It is always prime time whenever I log in to wvw, off peak no longer exists”. Specific servers will only exist at separate times. Anyone that prefer prime time should be thrilled about this suggestion.
The “not so thrilled” should consist of people who like the PvE part of WvW which will be interrupted by people wanting to fight.
The current state of the game means that on the lower tier servers, the server who’s population logs off prime last will win.
Why?
Because they can cap and let auto upgrade leave T3 stuff for singles to take while waiting for next prime-time.
It’s not even “coverage wars”. It’s a chicken race.
Removing off-time would even patch over several of the issues that HoT brought.
Regarding lag: I am an EU-based player who played on NA 1st and switched to EU. No change in lag.
Regarding server pride: What’s left of it would probably improve since this would actually bring back competition.
Regarding scoreboards: Yes. People care. I care. I want to fight and I want to see the results of what I’m doing show in the scoreboards.
