cpchow.7416 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think this is how the WvW 's link system works. Cheers! ![](https://i.imgur.com/BtdButH.jpg "") Here we go this is the activity data of all server start from 3/3/2018 , the funny server C is winning all of the matchup with almost the lowest population among all tier. What a shame to the server with a higher population but cant even win one week against them. ![](https://imgur.com/4HDOorw.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrimm.5624 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 More context is needed here. We can assume its one of the solo servers but that's about it. Also you need to list 2-3 months worth of images and pop counts. Population locks are not based on single weeks. So is this about MAG or BG?

cpchow.7416 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Anet thinks the WvW population data is a top secret but you can just find them from gw2 wvw stats.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubi.4136 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Look, someone stacked ANOTHER server, and now that NEW stacked server has the highest playtime (by Anet's metrics). Are we supposed to be shocked by this revelation? Are we supposed to feel bad for the previous stacked server? This is probably an alliance stacking test by a group of players. To see just how well they can manipulate the incoming changes. Players have shown time and time again, they don't want fair/balanced fights...they just want to win the easiest/fastest way possible.

It isn't 1 or 2 weeks, because if it was, players would just log out or play pve for a couple weeks to get their already overstacked server open so more people can join them...like a server did in the past. That "period" could be 6 months...they have never said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining One.1635 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 From my understanding, "Activity" (Kills + Deaths) is not a factor in ArenaNet's population calculations. It's based on play hours. A 50-man zerg sitting at spawn for an hour is 50 play hours, despite having no kills or deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Crinny.6190 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Because a certain server is no longer winning every week, therefore it must be opened so they can win every week again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should count players in PVE as a active population with your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrimm.5624 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 So this is about players gaming the system. Let's admit it, players are going to find a way to bypass any safety checks that ANet can put in place. The only way they could get close to doing so would be to not allow people to choose what server they login into each day and then there might be ways to bypass that. Alliances will go a ways but I wouldn't count on it being a silver bullet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limodriver.4106 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 the flaw is the transfer cost and penalty to the link server is too low its too easy for ppl to move to the link server to stack there. Plus there is nothing to get from the ticket once u have enough for legendary armor so whocares if u dont get ticket for 1 week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X T D.6458 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm pretty sure that site only shows activity, which is not an accurate representation of population. Anet is the only accurate source of population numbers, and I doubt they would ever release those numbers for a variety of reasons. FA also went full this week and is currently losing to SBI.

So players who play more get punished for playing the game. I never thought that I would see a company punish their players for playing XD.
