Guild Wars 2

As someone speaking from a medium population server, I can say I see the effects of guesting every weekend. Sunday from around mid-day, all chest events become unavailable because overflow starts about 30 mins before the event window (overflow is constant in frostgorge and sometimes other zones). On other days and at all other times we have no issue with overflow and this is why guesting makes things very frustrating for us. We understand the need for others to get their free loot every day but this isn’t a solution, it simply pushes others into the same seat.

A simple solution would be to synchronise the overflow with the main server or put the event on a short cooldown timer of let’s say 15-30 mins in overflow zones. Since you can’t get loot twice, this should help the problem without causing more.

There is nothing more frustrating than logging on in the evening, expecting to be able to fight a dragon and turning out to be shoved in overflow because some other people couldn’t do the event on their own server.

This issue NEEDS a fix.
