Guild Wars 2

I actually really like the idea, although I would modify it to be a +X per tick. That way nobody feels like they have to dig out of a hole so much and the matchup can remain competitive until the end.

The 2 lowest servers by far are FC and ET. In someone’s infinite wisdom, they aren’t matched up against each other this week. I guess being thumped by 2 sides instead of one is a great plan in bizaaro world.

You may not be able to fathom this, but we actually prefer not being matched up. We are both too weak to take on any of the servers right now when paired up. When the other two servers are more evenly matched nobody is camping our spawns. Just look at the difference between the last two weeks and the first week of the new matchups. This really is better for us at the bottom.

I am a little curious about the FC/ET feelings about the new matchup system. Is it an improvement for you guys or just a wash? It seemed like the first week when you got split, it gave you much more an opportunity to shine because you could capitalize on the fights between the other servers, something that is less present when you’re in the same matchup – but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, even with the new system the odds aren’t great of that but they are better than before, nonetheless.

I look forward to FC and ET being split every time. I feel like we are both too weak to effectively hold back a server on our own and don’t put enough pressure on anyone to make splitting forces necessary. I would guess HOD knows about how we experience every match after last weeks matchup with BP.

We’re very likely better off getting split apart so that we aren’t in a matchup where 2 servers are completely outclassed by the third.
