To the GW team, as a customer I'm providing constructive feedback that having two North American servers paired for more than one link cycle is not healthy for either servers active WvW communities. The YB / SoR pairing for four straight months has hurt both server's WvW community morale significantly and could very possibly lead to a significant number of players leaving Guild Wars completely if it was maintained for a third straight cycle. Switching pairings provides a healthy opportunity for a server's WvW community to refresh interest in the game, opportunities to join more organized guilds that can create more competitive experiences and even potential for a population refreshes with a positive server pairing. Pairings that persist over two cycles negatively impacts all of these in game experiences for both server populations. I appreciate you may have systems in place that sets up pairing automatically but from an active customer's perspective feel that it is in the best interest of ArenaNet to manually intervene to prevent two servers being linked in consecutive cycles in North America. I especially recommend any means necessary to prevent YB and SoR from being paired again for a third cycle as, to reiterate my original point, that could have devastating consequences for both server's WvW communities.
