I wanted to mention, I know the prescribed answer here: sit and wait for the server to drop below full. But I have a life. I would love to include GW2 as part of my life, but for me the primary draw of this game is that it’s an MMO: I can play with my FRIENDS. That’s by far most important for me. As sandman mentioned, if I can’t play with my friend, I’m going to go do something else. And no, GW2 won’t die because I don’t play. It’s a great game. But still-I’m a potential gem-spending consumer. I spend money on things that captivate me. Hey, I’ll freely admit this!! If I like the game, I’ll spend money on it! I don’t mind! But if nobody is offering me any solution other than sitting vacantly at a computer screen refreshing the world select, methinks arenanet is losing my potential consumerhood.
Look, all I’m saying is this: I will sit and try to get into this server for awhile. But eventually I’ll give up. And I know the people in charge of GW2 have heard tons of happy success stories of people getting into full servers to play with family/friend’s. I’m just asking you guys to consider how many MORE people gave up and just lost interest in the game. Imagine all the potential money lost by people who just want to play with friend’s/family/spose/guildmates. Imagine all the people who didn’t want to refresh a screen for a week straight for a tiny window of opportunity to play the game with the only people they are even playing the game for in the first place!!!
Just saying
