Karza.8097 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 To the GW team, as a customer I'm providing constructive feedback that having two North American servers paired for more than one link cycle is not healthy for either servers active WvW communities. The YB / SoR pairing for four straight months has hurt both server's WvW community morale significantly and could very possibly lead to a significant number of players leaving Guild Wars completely if it was maintained for a third straight cycle. Switching pairings provides a healthy opportunity for a server's WvW community to refresh interest in the game, opportunities to join more organized guilds that can create more competitive experiences and even potential for a population refreshes with a positive server pairing. Pairings that persist over two cycles negatively impacts all of these in game experiences for both server populations. I appreciate you may have systems in place that sets up pairing automatically but from an active customer's perspective feel that it is in the best interest of ArenaNet to manually intervene to prevent two servers being linked in consecutive cycles in North America. I especially recommend any means necessary to prevent YB and SoR from being paired again for a third cycle as, to reiterate my original point, that could have devastating consequences for both server's WvW communities.

Strider Pj.2193 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Mistake #1: asking for something and expecting to get it.See forums for multiple examples of why that works in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepwalker.1398 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 It'll be funny if you two get paired again :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 i'm guessing you're on SoR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinnel.4369 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 NSP isn't far from the same boat. One of us will probably get CD and become the new T4 king/T3 punching bag. Exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG is alone but probably too late as that 2 day opening potentially stacked them beyond fixing. Mag gets 2 links. Will that become a bandwagon 500 gem destination. I bet it will. FA gets SoR could be interesting at NA prime. And poor NSP is just the owner of the prior BG link 2 times in a row gets hosed the most. Getting the server every single BG or bandwagoner gonna transfer off as we speak making PB forced to carry for 2 more months. And I am surprised they listed the links BEFORE reset again. This limits the number of days people don’t get pips if they are gonna hop when the links are announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the last two times, other than GoM and CD linkings NSP has had abysmally populated links for going on 18 months now. PB really is doing all we can, but the cycle has gotten tired.

Djamonja.6453 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Every pairing other than the BG one has suffered. Anet is not going to do manual pairings, they've just got some basic automatic one that gives every server an activity number, then links the 24 servers together to make the activity numbers for each pairing as close as possible. It works fairly badly since it doesn't take into account coverage, and hasn't reduced the NA matchups to 3 tiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenesisII.1540 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 PSA: Don't transfer to Mag or it's links unless you don't care to ppt, otherwise you will be dealing with tanking every time they get a sniff of T1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
