European WvW guilds should move to NA!
Currently in the European bracket the servers with largest and most consistent 24 hour coverage wins. Period.
Unfortunately there are only a handful of European servers with any semblance of 24 hour coverage. This is unlikely to change. There are simply too few Oceanic and East Asian guilds on European servers to provide more than a few servers any significant coverage. These “lucky” servers tend to do well in WvW and experience a massive influx of fair weather WvW focused players exploding the queue times and ultimately killing the server.
The cycle will continue until more European WvW guilds make the necessary steps to change it.
There is a solution.
Move to a NA server.
The only way to “fix” night capping is to encourage server communities to become truly international. WvW focused guilds looking for servers with better 24/7 coverage need to be willing to move to servers that have larger international populations covering those time zones.
Arenanet made a mistake by initially segregating North American and European servers.
This left WvW subject to the “night capping” phenomenon. On European servers this meant that Oceanic players in particular played king maker. Titan Alliance and other Alliances were able gain their momentum in large part due to their Oceanic coverage. Easily defeating strong servers that lacked night coverage. There are simply too few Oceanic pvp guilds to cover a significant number of European servers.
The only solution for European guilds looking for strong night coverage is not to fight over the handful of Australian/NZ and East Asian guilds and consider joining NA servers.
Fixed that for you!
