Bump.
For the organized guilds and alliances who came to GW2 for WvW, the queue issue has to be the major issue in WvW currently. Can we get an update here as to the devs plan to alleviate this?
Obviously you can’t work magic. The WvW concept at it’s core is IMO flawed, but we work with what we have. My suggestion would be to forcibly move and divide all server populations by yourselves, only keeping guilds intact, possibly creating more servers in the process. This will wreck a lot of alliances and communities, including my own, but with the current implementation of WvW and it’s technical limitations it seems the only solution.
Relying on people to spread out on their own is about as naive as allowing matchups of two national servers (DE, FR, etc) against a third international one and saying this is intended. As an old Shadowbane player, I’m all for politics, but national servers will ALWAYS cooperate without much of the hassles international communities/guilds/alliances/servers would when trying to band together.
But I digress. People want to win. They will go to the servers they deem to be “winners” in this system, which will worsen the queues there. And ironically, even with free server transfers, this problem will not solve itself. Anet needs to step in.
