We ought to consider how the flight time is balanced. Is it possible that project does slightly more damage than the lightning because of the added flight time? I know that this came up in beta and a developer responded that they were aware and were looking into it.

Free server transfers for players seems appropriate. If everyone had selected their own server knowing the queues that is one thing. However, in the case of many, the server was selected for us as part of the prelaunch guild program by the development team. In some cases large guilds have been placed on servers that are overcrowded with long queues. How else are we supposed to move a large group without the offer of free character transfers. Ask everyone to reroll? Its an option, but it just feels wrong. The guild prelaunch program backfired by stuffing too many prelaunch guilds on the same servers. Free character transfers are the only fix. I've been a positive supporter of the team. But this needs more attention that it is getting. It is 5 pm EDT here and server already has a half hour wait. What happens when people get home from work in prime time? What happens when more people who were not in the preorder want to join their prelaunch guild already on an overcrowded server?

To the OP: No I do not support that feature. I have been gaming in MMOs for 13 years. These types of features tend to cause elitist behavior amongst self professed game experts over and over. Just the fact that the OP discussion talks about players 'underperforming' is a sign of that. The world needs less elitism in MMOs.

Wait in a queue once for a long time is one thing. Waiting again over and over after being booted off of an overloaded server is another. I dont understand why with all of the planning on prelaunch guild server deployment that prelaunched guilds are stuffed into overloaded servers. The queue issue needs to be solved, otherwise any preorder headstart benefit that was advertised by the team is pretty meaningless.

The topic of this thread continues to be an issue. Logged in for a few minutes, booted from server, and in a waiting queue. More time in a queue than in game.
