I've been playing guild wars like many for quite some time.. been there since the beginning before mounts and HOT and POF and EOD .. built up all the toons and have had many happy hours playing guildwars. I dabbled in WVW and then over the years grew more serious about it. From time to time there were brief map queues to get in but nothing serious on the wait times. I'd say when covid hit there was quite a bit more people showing up in gw and in wvw. Things have evolved to the point where there are many players really enjoying and playing WVW content. Everybody looks forward to reset night when they can collect more tickets and get more content. Its clear that the size of the player base wanting into the WVW the first few days of after reset and particulary reset is more then ANET's server/software configuration can handle and hence the queues. At first it was tolerable, then it became a bit frustrating, and now.. its fairly intolerable. To the point where WVW is not fun anymore the first few days after reset. Trying to join my guild/squad is frustrating... and no its not me, cause i have fiber optic cable and a really good computer. Everybody is aware of this problem that plays WVW.. its just getting worse and worse. We all know it. I'm sure Anet is aware of it. Alliances hasn't worked .. fully.. .... yet. Maybe its time for the developers and project managers of ANET to get with the program on this before they start losing long term players. ANET? you need to fix this growing issue asap please.
As a software developer and systems engineer with lots of professional experience (many years) in object based systems, relational databases and n-tiered systems.. I understand the challenges facing Anet.. with the costs of production, keeping everybody happy and yada yada yada.. it may not be a good cost to benefit ratio to fix/redo. The technology does exist tho... all you have to do is look at the game EVE. Anyhow hopefully it will all get fixed.. in the meantime I can go get resources for my next crafting project and for my guild as somebody suggested.
