Arenanet…look.
However you address the issue, please, address it. Most of the people I know on my own server cannot do events right now. We get sent to overflow.
Every time. No matter what time of day.
This is getting out of hand. You’re going to start losing players, fans, and future customers over this. Further, if you don’t do something about it, you effectively have broken your own game.
I don’t know a solution. Undo the one chest a day thing? Create separate instance servers that allow overflowed individuals to complete the event? Turn off guesting? I do not know.
What I do know, is that people will start to leave GW2 if they cannot complete the dragon events, since they are a large part of gameplay.
I suppose THAT would solve the problem…but it seems a horrible solution to solve lag by accidentally depopulating your servers due to player disenchantment.
Please, do something.
Best,
