I've said many times that the best solution to the bandwaggon kitten matchup system we have, was to simply merge the link servers and go back to single servers with single populations.
Also make /t chat work outside WvW so you can recruit and call to arms in PvE like back in the day!
However people (including a dev who joined our squad while discussing this) suggested this was a bad idea because people on the servers which are getting deleted would be upset about them losing their "community" and being merged into another server...
Yet the solution being implemented deletes ALL servers and the communities on them, not just half of them... idk....
So, as they are unwilling to simply merge dead servers and go back to mono-servers, WR is the next best option.
It's not perfect at all, but if you find a group to play with and join an "alliance" guild, then it's at least better than the current system.
