    ah there isn't a problem, it is just where you are playing, if you check the multiplayer, there will be at the bottom a region, I watch a youtuber (ZackScottGames, great guy, totally recommend watching although he may bee a good gamer but can be a bit unorganized but who isn't, Apparently @Masked_KoopaTM Knows him, but that is a theory) he actually plays PC In north America and his servers have always got many players, so I think there is your problem,

    See, I play in Australia on PS4, (would be great to verse you if you are too) and those servers are always busy. so the only thing I can recommend is that you just stick with whatever has more players. See you on the Lawn.

They won't do anything about this but hopefully will fix it in GW3 but yes basically in GW1 you just joined a game type and had no control over server choice...even today still no problem finding a game.  In GW2, you can switch servers and if you join a server and game like TV with nobody in it you have to wait until there's 4 people before the game starts which is very hard to do.  I start new games all the time on a dead server and after you are lucky enough to start the game then most times many people join.  I think they need to do two things...start a game with 2 people and allow people to see which server(s) game types have players like every other online game in the last 10 years.  Nobody has the patience to join and leave games all night just to find out there's nobody in them and most people will not wait for a game to start they will simply leave and play TURF.  It's very frustrating but they are killing their own game with crappy design.
