    Every server is going to have its lopsided winners and losers.

    On Aether, the Immortal Flames dominate. The Order of the Twin Adder sucks. There's not much you can do about it.

    On Primal, the Order of the Twin Adder dominates. The Immortal Flames suck. Not much we can do about it.

    Besides, don't act like you don't reap SOME benefit from losing all the time. I played 140 games the past week. Guess how many of them I won? Around 30. But you know what we get for losing? Increased PvP EXP and Marks for every consecutive loss. It adds up.

    I actually wondered if it was possible for them to combine the three (soon to be 2) NA data centers. Seems like if we could double the population of pvp it might balance the GCs out enough to defeat the evil que.

    Chaos Twin Adders is pretty much like that too, it's horrible in 72 player frontline.

    On Primal I'd say Maelstrom has a slight edge over Adders so anyone who wants a carry should go there vs to Adders. With the queue time to win ratio, it's probably hardest to get ADS in Flames on this server from winning less matches, and faster to rank up there from getting to play more.... and the opposite on Maelstrom. Adders is in between, though I had more first place wins than 2rd or 3rd overall last week and when I go premade vs. PUG I win more than lose... when I solo queue my 1st place rate is more like only 1/3.

    I had a couple of bad alliance teams tonight and I asked them near the end of the match- 'Ok how many of you just transferred here from Flames today?' and some of the Adders vets got a laugh out of that.

    Nah, from what I've seen in the 800+ something matches I've played, on Primal, the Adders have always been the dominant GC whereas the Flames have always been the weakest. The Maelstrom always sort of sits in the middle, either doing really occasionally well or absolutely terribly.

    During secure they were good, during slaughter they were near unbeatable, and now they're still good. I would attribute it due to the fact that Adder tends to have the most premades rolling and winning matches pretty handily, but so far, the Maelstrom has been unimpressive with its performance as per usual. There was a reason we used to refer to the Maelstrom as 'the eternal second'.

    Being on Behemoth and a part of the Primal data center, I've been asking around because I heard the same thing, and outside a group of 4-5 people, I have not seen or heard of anything like that happening with the Adders I lead. I do see a lot of people I run with before and a lot of them know the gametype and my leading style. So from what I get when I lead, a lot of us just solo queue. Typically, as long as they listen we do pretty well.

    I'm probably just being dumb, but I got confused when I first noticed the "world" column after everyone's names...
