Yep i also have to say that the short run yesterday was quite fun, though i think once we willl regulary be 10+ members this will get even better, as we then are able to ninja towers and stand against some bigger zergs. We didn't once join a Zerg force, took mostly just camps and 1 or 2 towers. From a server perspective a 10 man group running around in unpredictable routes, killing caravans, taking camps and "ganking" reinforcements does good dmg to the enemy servers imo. So noone should feel like you don't contribute to the servers success because u didnt join the 200 man stonemist zerg raid

Alliance
I find it pretty sad leaving Far Shiverpeaks, mainly because of our alliance. Yet we havent got much in contact with them, but i know for sure that once we are more active in WvW this will change, and they would offer a great basis to do WvW when no guildgroup is around. Also they would offer some well organized Raids in the future. From a personal personal pov i would also regret the plenty of time i invested in this alliance already, but that is sth i could deal with.
Queue's
On the other side, yes the queue's are simply ruining the fun. Theres plenty of people in our guild that only have a couple of hours to play during primetime and they, and not only them, really don't want to spend 2 of their 4 hours online waiting in a queue. Even though i think that queue's are still HEAVILY bugged. Yesterday,
sunday primetime, i got in after 20-30min of wait which is sth I could absolutly live with even on the long run. And i know that teagen and i who queue'd up at the same time, also got in at the same time, so for once that was not based on a bug IMO. And also it really matters alot which zone you are queueing for. EB is generally a bad bad choice for primetime.
So atm i would like everyone even if not planning to do WvW, to queue up on primetime and tell me how long it took him to get in. Also don't queue up whilst being in a group, people from the alliance told us that you get in alot of faster if your not in a group.Guild influence
Another point of staying on FS would be that we loose ALL our guild influence, including the upgrades. Jani made me aware of that and i tested it myself. On another server all upgrades were gone. This is not THAT big a problem though. Would take us another 2-3 weeks to get to where we are again.
Zergs
That is something where i actually would rather be careful saying this would be different on a medium populated server. That game is mainly designed for zergs so in my oppinion as a small group we will always be forced to avoid zergs or encounter zergs. It could actually be worse on smaller servers too. The percentage of zergers could simply be higher so this is a point i don't really add to the reason of server change. Basically for me atm it's "just" the point of queue's and thats why i really wanna get more precize info about how long EXACTLY are the queue's for everyone during primetime while queueing SOLO.
In a couple of days then we will decide if we stay on FS or leave.
