Ode to the Matchmaking

Thank you ANet for your great matchmaking system. We were outnumbered the whole last week and this week it's the other way around. I mean who doesn't like a constant faceroll or get facerolled experience? That arouses emotions even the most patient ones of us have never had the chance to experience before.

Thanks for that great opportunity.

Just one thing bothers me: It's sometimes hard to keep the participation up, when you own 100% of the map. Maybe you could do something to fix this.

Both Anet and Players are terrible at balancing out populations.

ANet paves the way for bandwagoning, tier-tanking and stuff. None of this is an inevitable outcome of player behavior.

Kill the vet creatures?

T5 EU DZ and WSR are DEAD. We have a 370-430 tick for the last 14-15 hours.

ArenaNet: NaW tHoSe MaTcHuPs ArE tOtAlLy BaLaNcEd As WvW sHoUlD bE!1!1!

Because, you know, NOTHING is more fun than spawn-camping or being spawn-camped, because one team owns all the objectives on all four maps. Personally I look forward to at least 7 more weeks... of not playing WvW (or perhaps not playing GW2 at all) until a possible relinking. In all my years of GW2 WvW I had not yet had to experience such an UNBALANCED AND UNFUN matchup.

wait until relink, wsr bandwagoners will come back to their server to manipulate matches, most likely wsr will be paired with an unfortunate server and then the so called 'elite' gamers there will rejoice

Yes, there are 3 on the map, but it's almost impossible to kill them in 5 minute cycles. There will always be some egoist who ruins it. =)

Map hopping to farm them is also not always possible because of the queues.

First comes ANet,

then I'd say ANetthen ANet,then ANet,............ and finally the players.

Skritt and centaurs too. Nobody ever does those anymore. Not sure if champ spider gives event/wvw exp.

To piss off the bandwagoners on EU, Anet should do another relinking ASAP and not in 6 weeks.

I don't know, Green can have exiting small scale fights like "6 dudes vs a random roamer in PvE build" and also big epic battles where 36 Greens valiantly battle 14 Reds (plus a random Blue roamer) trying to cap a tier 1 tower. The thrill, the excitement!!!!!!!!Not to forget the nailbaiting suspense of "Will anyone flip a tower so we can flip it back" and "If I spawn camp long enough I might get five kills" for the daily. For the horror inclined they even provide "Todays daily is to capture a Keep???" - what more could you wish for?

And Blue and Red have similar exiting thrills - can you get to Veteran Creature before you a ganked by 4 desperate Greens? Can you even leave Spawn without being ganked? With skill, perseverance and luck you might even manage to capture TWO camps and SAVE THE UNIVERSE finish your WvW daily.

...

Honestly, this is bound to bore-out all sides to the matchup, and ArenaNet will OF COURSE do nothing about it (nor do anything to prevent such things in the future) because they really don't care AND every player that desperately ponies up the Gems to transfer to another server is one that earns them money.

So i will have extra pips for another 6 weeks? [WSR]When there is so much disparity they could force their hand and re-link right now

Escort yaks.

Then I guess you are very lucky that it took so long before you had to experience this.

How do you get your WvW dailies done? Or guild missions?
