Guild Wars 2

This is still an important issue that needs to get fixed.

As someone who’s seen all of what WvW has to offer and the horror that was WG/TB in a server with factional imbalance, I can agree with the OP that snowballing is a curse that has to be dealt with swiftly and diligently.

More than anything, I just don’t want to see WvW go the way of GvG – most of the player base slowly getting alienated early only to never come back once things get fixed/put in place. More crushing than the snowballing going on is the very real threat that people WILL and HAVE left GW2 over the lack of competitiveness in some of these WvW matches. And in the long run, that’s no fun for anyone.

Some people really really like to win. For example, the guild Elite on BG right now in wvw. ET took a supply camp and had maybe 8 players tops on the field. Elite attacked with over 20 players.
I wouldn’t think such a lopsided battle would be fun on the LAST DAY of the current matchup when BG clearly has a +500k point advantage over both competitors combined, but there you have it.
I want to be pissed at BG but I’m more disappointed that the situation can happen due to the inaction of A.net on the matter. I feel like they think there are more important issues than WvWvW matches having nearly 0 participation for weeks.
I don’t think I’m crazy when I say the overall enjoyment and health of ALL servers is pivotal for WvW to be fun. And it kitten better be fun, cuz’ it’s a requirement for the monthly achievement.
