1 month or less, and randomize links or only link med/high pop servers.

Heh, well if they did that then surely they would nerf ac's by half right? and change the smc siege cap to 1/2 of what you can have on each gate? make it so a tower can't have 6-8 acs on the gate? I understand your point, but no. Ever try taking a keep/tower/smc from Mag? SMC is the worst. You will have roughly 20 pieces of siege on you @ the attacking gate the majority will be acs @ the 3rd floor mortars + the acs at the gates. Then you have the catas and trebs on the 3rd floor aimed@ the gate, not to mention the cannons and mortars. So no, thank you. I like ironhide just fine.

yep, don't even feel like playing for the next 2 months. lol but I'm sure if I came back after 2mos we'd get a DR relink or get a KN link again.

Of course it applies to all servers. You really need to get out of your head that I am on a specific server. I am not, this is not just a salty post. I legit want to know if this is what was intended or if it was an oversight when they changed scoring from the old system to what it is now; or if they thought the possibility of a tie was so remote that they didn't actually build something for a tie break. Even it were a natural tie, there should be a system that still allows a server to win or lose the match.

That is true and I agree with you, but in a different way. The "tanking" isn't always so sinister as you seem to think. The way things are set up now is by active WvW play is it not? You can't make people play a part of the game or to even play the game at all for that matter. How can they possibly account for abnormal player behavior? I mean you can to some degree, but let us say a new game is release and a large guild decides they or part of their players decide they want to go play that for a week or two; then only 2/3 of the people who went to play come back; then 3 months later most of the 1/3 come back. The game can not account for that type of playing.

Yes perhaps but is all part of a piece is it not? A tie doesn't just happen, people have to make it happen.

Do we really want to dredge up every bad thing that every server has done over 10 years? We'll be here a long time. I have been in T1 for the past year, you don't have to tell me what it has been like there, but this also is not the answer.

LOL a fresh victim, right. I'm not on the server you think I'm on. 😄 I am not thinking about this from the perspective of what is happening right this moment or from my personal perspective. I can play on any server I want. I am always willing to make a new acct or to move if I want better content. My point is that leaving all things WvW to the people who play it is a terrible decision.

You responded to my statement about the health of the game did you not? Your response was how this was healtly for it, and that is my response to you, therefore relevant to the convo.

I understand your point, the 2 full servers will be there anyway so what does it matter? To me, it matters in the respect of having a "fresh" server to play against.

I agree, but you can't force people to play the game. If the matches get stale people go do something else or play something else. When there is content or something new they come back.

Forcing people from other servers to not play or to quit the game is healthy? I can remember a time when we didn't need links for people to have somewhat equal populations. When there we tons of guilds to play against. WvW is a shadow of what it once was and you want more people to leave? I get it, X server has done bad things over the years, but then every server has and if you don't think yours has I have a pile of gold I"ll give you.

That is in fact not true. It effects the tier being tied + the tier above/below. My bad then only 5 servers. I also don't like spawn camping(also if you think your server hasn't done it; I can assure that you are wrong), there are things built into the game for that (3 ways out of spawn + other bls to play on.)

Right, totally understand what you're saying. Which is why I say we need it. For all we know it could take another year or more to actually get alliances.

I totally agree we need better rewards and have needed it for a long time. I don't dispute that. The point is that a tie shouldn't even be a thing regardless of rewards or alliances. And as far as I can remember has never been a thing until now either because the scoring was set up differently or because you couldn't actually get 2 servers to do it.
