I’m sure everyone is aware that it is impossible for a smaller skilled group of players to win against a zerg. The two main reasons for this are

1. 5 man AOE cap
2. Downed state

A possible solution to problem 1. would be simply to remove the AOE cap and to compensate for this, a reduction AOE radius would be necessary. This would give small coordinated groups a chance again huge zergs.

I do not see any reason why 10 should be able to win against 25!

Anyhow, AoE cap to 5 is due to technical reasons (would increase skill laags even more, if it is dropped). And if AoE cap is dropped damage of all AoE-skills must be nerved, e.g. to 1/5 of current damage (and 1 in 5 for a CC to happen) to keep a balance with single target skills.

3 times better only means a higher percentage of AoE classes.
If you wana be the better player play PvP.
WvW is about mass-battles and siege and capturing objectives and not etal about better players. And this is how it should be.

I don’t consider that as a problem to begin with. Without a cap, guess what the new meta will be.
