Closing maps, please don't make these into bugs

tl,dr: please stop closing maps on which people are doing the meta. In particular, using Dragonfall as an example, please don't make the closing map appear when the camps are almost fully upgraded. People should be taxiing in on the most completed meta. The "new" map is unlikely to be that.

If people are going to be irresponsible with the banner "bug" and spam them on maps, what else is Anet supposed to do? Blame the childish minority for this problem, not Anet.

I think you've replied to the wrong post. Mine is about closing maps when a meta is well underway.

[crepuscular.9047]

have you verified it is not a bug? because what you are asking is getting Anet to change their mega sever instancing algorithm

the way how mega server works is unless it is the only map instance running, once the map population falls under certain number the map instance will close, but if there is enough people taxiied into the map it will go away

there are circumstances where an overflow map can replace the main instance, i.e. Sparkfly, Malchor, AB

unlike dragonstand, 1 hours should be enough time for you to finish dragonfall meta; dragonstand was a learning lesson for anet

It would be enough if the second map didn't also come up as closing. There shouldn't be a daisy chain of closing maps.
