Not even slightly. All that will happen is people will transfer to the highest population sever...

I hope they nerf condition damage as a whole TBH. I'm getting pretty bored of using condi builds and also fighting other ppl using them... every death recap involves conditions as the top damaging skills.

Just to respond to a few comments above. I wouldn't mind if the toxic behavior was now and again, most video games are like that, but it is literally almost EVERY GW2 PVP game where the team loses. I am not offended by it, I have thick skin. My objection is that it is just anoying and to be honest, it makes me embarrassed to be associated with such people. It's like watching a kid throw their toys out the pram and have a tantrum. At the end of the day, its just a game and if you solo queue, you're going to lose because its RNG which team mates you get. Don't get me wrong, some great guys play PVP too, really nice dudes. Also I just wanted to give a salute to the people who get where I am coming from. The toxicity is damaging to the game and that is my main concern. Pvp will be dead eventually without new players and honestly why would they join? I was teamed with some engi player in games yesterday, he was really bad but clearly new. He was called a bot and all sorts of insults just because he was new. Why should he be insulted and bullied for being a noob? We were all noobs once too. Compare this to WvW where we have community led training days to HELP our new players...

Thanks for replying with a toxic post to further prove my point. It's not that I am offended by it. I play to have fun and having someone shouting abuse in chat is anoying. Team chat should be used to organize tactics and coordinate a win.See this is your problem and the common problem amongst people nowadays. Any form of criticism or the slightest word that you don’t like you think it’s “toxic.” You are offended by anything and anyone that doesn’t follow your straight edge approach to life and fun. The only problem here is you.Strawman argument. I never said anything about being annoyed by 'criticism'. Telling people to kill themselves because their team is losing does not constitute 'criticism". Moreover, my primary game mode is WvW and the community is great, which totally counters your previous argument about the 'anonymity'. Also I play plenty of other similar games and none is as toxic as this games PVP community.

Why is the GW2 PVP community so toxic? It's probably the worst gaming community I have ever experienced. I am a returning player (played on game release until just after HoT) have been forced to disable my chat and keep it on perma combat log when queuing. It was never this toxic before, it's crazy how bad the community is now! Today someone asked everyone their rank before the game purely so he could later tell the team how bad they were and how great he was because his rank was so high (he claimed to be rank 2600) and said that people with low PVP rank should never queue ranked. Yesterday someone told the team to kill themselves and someone else told them to uninstall the game purely because they were losing. The thing is, these players often aren't even good players (not that that would excuse such behavior anyway) they are just deluded. My hypothesis is that their IRL is so terrible that the only sense of value they have is their GW2 character, and losing a game feels like an attack on the only thing they have going for them in life. Regardless, imagine how a new player would feel entering this environment? Even as a returning player it is not something I want to view when playing a few games for fun.
