Guild Wars 2

The truth of the matter at hand is that this will be a divisive issue because the people benefiting from the status quo will fight to maintain it. The weak arguments about people coordinating beforehand only apply to servers in the very top tier, such as Eredon Terrace or Henge of Denravi. Those servers are so populated that people cannot even get into WvW. The expansion servers and other low population servers face a very different scenario, and it is obvious from the majority of the posts on this issue that people just do not understand how game breaking the “nightcapping” issue is. If one looks at the issue objectively it is easy to see that the system is flawed unless the server happens to be ideally populated with a mix of world time zones. The issue has to be fixed voluntarily by the player base (doubtful…..I don’t exactly see EU or Oceanic guilds lining up to transfer to Devonas Rest or Kaineng) or ArenaNet will fix it for us and those of us who would like to see the game survive and thrive will be sorely disappointed.

Another solution would be for Arenanet to allow Oceanic guilds to transfer to servers with night capping troubles without losing their guild unlocks.
Just look at it from this perspective: people will be upset when servers with a night population cap unopposed while they are asleep, then at work or school, they return 16 hours later to find every thing on the map fully upgraded by the team with a night group, with siege positioned outside of their spawn. We can take it back, but it is pointless to invest even more gold in defense and upgrades when you know that the opposition will take SM and the entire map unopposed. It is just a waste of gold and time, especially when you look at the fact that when you take everything back you have to spend gold or badges on siege and repairs just to try to restore parity. This isn’t even taking into account that you have to farm the gold and material to participate strongly in WvW. The system is flawed and if you look at it with a critical eye you can see that the scoring system does not take this into account in the slightest. In the current state the WvW competition boils down to whoever does not have responsibilities outside of the game, or lucky enough to have an off peak population wins regardless of skill, coordination, or effort, and that is ridiculous. No one wants to screw over the guys on the off peak or regional guilds but it is pretty aggravating for many people out there.

Hello. Please check out the PM I sent you regarding my guild. Good luck!

I respect you guys from Kaineng sticking it out.
However, I have to nominate Devonas Rest for best server. Player for player I would bet we are one of the best servers around in WvW. We will only get better with night support and a larger population. Good luck and see you in EB.
