Posting server rankings while transfers were still open was the worse thing a-net could have done.
in WvW

They’ll be back, I bet.
At some point people are going to realize that “being able to play” is going to be better than “watching the score go up while sitting in a 3-hour queue”.
Ehmry – Ferguson – Borlis is a good matchup right now and I’m willing to bet queues are low on all 3. You people waiting in queues: transfer to one of these servers and come play!
Yeah its such a great matchup, Emhry own eveything in Borlis Pass (Borlis can’t even get the camp to the north of the citadel)… and they are 14k while the other two are under 7k… and with free transfers still open, a few folks in map chat said adios…
Ya great plan Anet, a week of this.
Totally agree with this post. Free transfers are gonna screw WvW across the board once these week long games kick in.
I thought it was said you couldnt WvW until that paring was over after the transfer.
they did say that but that’s not the case. Some guilds are putting people on enemy servers to monitor troop movements/spy or even (anecdotally) lead pug groups from enemy servers.
There is a lot of abuse of this system, and very few are using it in the way Arenanet envisioned because they have allowed for free access and immediate wvw.
I can understand that for the start kind of but if this is the official start to the WvW and not just “pre-season” they should turn those features on, and guesting too.
Yeah we need some feedback on what the situation with transfers is. As is, i’m not looking forward to next week’s week long battle.
i’ve seen a few guilds changing to whatever server happens to be winning
i ended up in another guilds group earlier today and our servers numbers were low so we were slowly getting pushed back, after awhile everyone started saying ok its time to swap over, 30 sec later i saw them on the other side
they really need to have like a 24-48 hour cool down for changing servers for changing servers as i’ve seen this a few times
Wow! That’s funny… and I just made a post about this issue. Can you imagine how bad this will get once the week long games begin on Friday…. i know a few peeps who will rather transfer than get stomped for a week.
On the lower tier NA servers, there is good participation while scores are balanced. Once the night kicks in, if one server has a lot of Asian/Oceanic players then they usually totally outscore the other two by the next day. Participation for the 3rd place and even 2nd drops down so low that the server in the lead just cleans house…during NA primetime on the following day!…until the new match-ups begin.
Even now, with just 24hour games, people lose motivation and transfer off the server. What do you think it will be like if the game is a week long? A week is a great time for well balanced servers… but for the guys that play on lower pop realms, getting stomped for a week is not going to be fun.
Anet needs to disable free server transfers before these 1 week games begin for two reasons :
1 – Prevent low pop servers that are naturally undermanned in WvW from emptying out of WvW players (who will transfer to servers that are doing better – rather than sitting getting stomped for a week).
2 – Prevent high pop & high rated servers from getting even more swamped with people and queues.
Anet – You guys really need to start directing those free transfers to the low pop servers. At the very least lock out the high pop servers for transfer. I speak this playing on Borlis Pass.

Those defending the current situation are basically saying that it’s ok to PVE to win at PVP… since usually in the matchup one server out of the three has a heavy off peak population and face no resistance. PVE to win PVP? Nah, that’s just bad design.
