WvW-oriented clans are moving from servers in which most of the population plays PvE to the ones focused in WvW. In the current times to be competitive oftenly any given WvW server had clans from different geographic areas (N.A., Europe...) in order to be able to rotate turns and being active 24/7.
As the result WvW in typical PvE servers usually means being trampled if a WvW-centered server falls in your path.
I think that the game needs a new mode to fill the gap between tPvP and WvW, a mode that last few hours instead of weeks and involving smaller maps, maybe with 25 x 25 x 25 players instead of 80 x 80 x 80, to prevent a kind of gameplay so focused on zerging.

In general, most of the servers have a population that primarily play PvE. But the rotation/coverage thing is pretty spot on, IoJ were actually a stong WvW server that had polar opposite coverage to the server im in, hence the odd 'merger'. But I wouldnt underestimate the power of when the casual WvWer that mostly play PvE gets in the mix, not sure if you played Tarnished Coast, but they pretty much rode on the strength of participation with their larger PvX guilds that seemed to WvW when whenever felt like it.
As for the trampling in the middle tiers, it is the cause of bandwagoning to matchup stomping servers (Kaineng and Maguuma), I hope these glory-seekers and server jumpers eventually regret it once they hit a wall. These guilds will just never find a proper 'home' or server community to intergrate with. Meanwhile, the lower tiers seem to be having some close balance matchups right now.
Not everyone jumps server for WvW reasons. I transferred to Maguuma recently because there was a stronger PvE Community presence than I got on my old server Stormbluff Isle. I imagine that most of the server jumping will cease with the advent of paid server transfer, so those servers with strong WvW will eventually rise to the top and WvW will balance out across the board.
Also Quaggan backpack is so cute. I need one for my Asura.
