It's called the WvW Provisioner but it uses BoH as the currency.

Yes they have. Something about the way Reddit being laid out. Easier for them to use and keep track of threads.

Was about a year ago.

Sometimes it is worth risking something on the short run to get better outcome on the Long run. (though i am pretty sure you know what it feels like to get **** on for something which turns out right in the end.) One Thing that could be done is a whole new Name for the merged Server. So at least it feels "fair" for both the smaller and the bigger Server.

> > There maybe some long term benefit to merging in server identity as people get used to being part of the new server. Long term this makes the problem of keeping worlds balanced hard as we have fewer pieces to move around. Server transfers with still be a thing so players and guilds will want to move around. Over time this will cause the same imbalance we see in the worlds now accept we wont have small worlds like we have now to move them around to help even things out. If server populations had stagnated the links would never change and would effectively be "merged"

> > > I can understand this but i think you are making the wrong assumptions. I do not think that People are questioning the linking System on itself. I am pretty sure everyone is able to understand, that the linking was needed to Balance out the matches. I think it is really rather the changing of Partners and the smaller Server beeing smaller. These things would be actually solved by merging. A lot of People ranting here are just not able to articulate fittingly what they want.

While my sample size isn't as large as that poll (it does span worlds, and regions) I can tell you there is still a lot of division on the topic. A lot of it has to do with what kind of world you play on. People on linked servers tend to have a different opinion then ones on host worlds etc. I'm curious what you think the link time frame should be.

Bumping this as we still haven't received an answer...

I run Cele Medi DH with lots of Condi cleanse and Fury. No traps, Durability runes, GS/SS.

Sad.......

WvW has a large learning curve for new players. Regardless of their class/build, if you're not willing to accept and teach them the proper way, they are not going to remain in the mode and return to where they were with a sour taste.

You want fresh blood and keep them a lot of players need to drop their "leet" attitude.

This mode is in dire straights and only the vets can turn it around.

I don't recruit players from WvW. I grab them from PvE at low levels, 10 and under. I run with them, teach them the game, their class and have them adjust their gear/builds as things progress so they understand the tools available to them.

Play and have fun while doing it. Mix up your game. 100% WvW time will burn you out!!!

This has worked for me somewhat as from the commander. But others in the squad that are not blocked can still send invites.

Well a good first step would be what we had post HoT. Two way communication instead of locking threads and the random "we are aware" comment.

Can't have a discussion if only one side talks.

I do intend to join a guild but I've looking for both an active NA EST server and one that as active guild, pugs, etc... happening on WvW. A few here have mentioned to avoid Mags if I'm not mistaken. Not only for the timezone but apparently from the community in there or lack thereof.

Yes, I'm on Devona's Rest. Free transfer every 2 months!!! Haven't found a server worth moving our guild to.

True you will not find both guild/pugs on Mag in your time zone.

If you're not interested in a guild, Mag has a good self sustaining pug population. There are a few that pin up but it's mostly to PPT.

They will group but not squad and hunt OJ's or even create them for PPK. They also have very good defense when called for, depending on the score.

As a bonus, map/team chat can be entertaining. My block list keeps growing every time we link with them.

One is they need to either create a track that contains Grandmaster Marks or at least the mats/gold to make them.

On the hunt for a Necro.

They can't get in without a party and me entering it.

None of them had the node.

Got a player yesterday and after talking to him he did some amazing things to join us.

Bought HoT and PoF and transferred to our server. Will be mentoring our new Elementalist.

If that's the case I'm not buying the 2nd plot as intended. Of 3 guild members going in, none could harvest after me.

I'll wait and see what happens.

You can. If you have enough influence to convert to favor to start the trek. Just sit in LA and /map chat and put up an LFG.

Not sure about that one but if you can access the Norn one, he's straight ahead against the wall when you enter.

Also make sure you don't have map chat turned off.

Also when you type /m then space, does it change from green to [m] red?

Absurd might be a better word.
