Guild Wars 2

I was just thinking with the current state wvw maybe instead of the outnumbered perks you now receive maybe we could get something more useful to the fact of being outnumbered. Maybe as part of a tower, keep and castle upgrade we could also buy a temporary mercenary army to man the walls with ac or something with strength being flexible with the amount your outnumbered.
We all no npc’s will never really replace players but maybe it would be enough to help with overpowering zergs that take absolutely no thinking or skill. Just my opinion.

NPC’s would help fine if they made them hero level and made it so the merc band was 10 members (per buyable group, only available if yoru server has the outmanned buff) and each one had the raw hp spounge effect and threat level on aoe damage to require focus fire of 5 to 1 for enemies in actually dodging/blocking/parrying needing to treat the mercs like bosses or else get slaughtered.

ANYTHING to balance the outmanned crap, nightcapping and the player counts are growing into serious problems for certain servers.
