I've always wondered why the devs didn't lean into the name "Guild Wars" more - supporting gvg on a larger scale.

WvW Panel: For our squad, it turns out the trick was to open the panel AFTER scores reset. Those who were ready early and opened the panel before the scores reset had large lock icons on the options and had to close and reopen the panel to get into a BL that way (and by then... queues). So it would have been nice with this "tip" from anet about using the wvw panel to be a bit more specific about when to open them. I had the WvW panel error and got stuck in a queue. The reason I opened right on the hour (just before scores reset) was because in the past if I opened the WvW panel after the scores reset often the menu wouldn't work - the options would just be greyed out. So in my attempt to bypass the bug I knew about, I ended up getting stuck in a queue because of a new unknown bug. On a positive note: 1) On reset night our squad didn't have the large disconnects that have been happening lately - several people simultaneously disconnecting. On some nights it has been 3 or 4 times with as many as 6 people disconnected at once, which really ruins the fun when there are large queues. 2) Queues for this beta are better than in the past. Not sure if that is because anet balanced teams more effectively or if less people are WvWing right now, but it is more hopeful to see there are less than 10 in line ahead of you than 40+

I agree! This may be an "improvement" for anyone who is brand new to the game and haven't finished any content, but it isn't for people who have been playing since the beginning and have most or all of the story content completed. If you will not undo the improvement, can it be an option that can be turned off? This is like the remapping of the keys for the steam launch - fine for new people, but a pain for those who have spent 10 years with the current keys and had to remap back to the way it was (without any in-game notice the key maps had changed!). ANET - please consider your "improvements for new players" as options. Let people who are used to the way it is (and prefer that) to opt out with a check box.
