Beta Key Impact on WvW

[bishop]

I heard that the silver wastes mobs now have a chance to drop a closed beta key. I also heard that the drop rate was increased today. This is a cool development, but comes at a cost. Our active population participating in WvW was already dwindling. This distraction will inevitably place a demand on our playtime, both with key farming and beta play. Hopefully, this development will pull in inactive players back to the game or give some incentive for active players to devote more time to the game overall. The reality is probably that WvW will be undermanned, at least in the near-term. One benefit will be that we might get to see the new WvW maps and give our commanders some time to develop strategies.

Yup, very true. But kind of on the balance side I suppose this impacts all servers so likely everyone saw a dip in population.

In fact, this week was the perfect week to farm as the match up wasn’t too stressful so it was a great time to get out and do some farming!!! Next week though I expect we’ll get HoDB and the match up will need significantly more resources.
