Cant join WvW

Hi,

I recently transferred to Desolation because of the pve events. But I went to do some WvW, and happened to like it. Now I’ve been playing some WvW for a few days.

But all of a sudden I get a screen:
“You have turned your back on your previous world too recently to be welcomed into the mist war, but you may still battle in the edge of the mists”

While I transferred I think a week ago. I now get this popup.
How Come?

This restriction was put in place after previous player complaints of other players transferring to worlds who were winning or more likely to win during Season 1 last year. In addition to being explicitly stated in the blog post linked by players above, it was also messaged in the form of a warning when attempting to change worlds. This warning has been in place since the beginning of the tournament and reads as follows (emphasis mine):

Are you sure you want to transfer to <world>?

If yes, you’ll be logged out of your account, which may be inaccessible for a short period of time while the transaction completes. In addition, you cannot make another transfer for 7 days. Your WvW accessibility will be restricted to Edge of the Mists for the duration of the current match and until the end of your world’s next match.
