Guild Wars 2

And when all of the highly ranked commanders move off of your server because of drama or community issues you will have big gaps with no commanders and less wxp coming in to get new commanders. I’m not saying the commander icon is a good system but I think the problems you are having with it might be more indicative of an issue with the WvW community on your server.

Rewarding the stronger server with even more power via buffs is incomprehensibly dumb in a lop sided challenge!

What’s needed is a way to even the playing field not make the strong stronger.

Perhaps give the largest population server in any given map the current undermanned buff as their reward. Give the undermanned servers Bloodlust so they can continue to provide a challenge to the server with greater population.

Alternatively, give a buff to the undermanned servers that they can use to pay guilds with to become mercenaries on that server. When they merc up to the point they aren’t undermanned then they can’t pay the merc guilds any more and the mercs move on for a while. Provide some sort of guild progression that uses the merc points.

Those are idea for helping with some of the problems in WvW. What problems do leagues solve?

Perhaps with league play Anet will finally realize how little fun it is to play on either side of an uneven match up.
