1. I’d like to see a function which allows a server to capture uncontested siege in a similar manner to points in sPvP.

2. Also, I’d like a channeled skill in all siege that the operator of the equipment could initiate to destroy or unpack the equipment.

3. And last, I think ArenaNet should test making siege not immune to friendly fire.

The reason for the first request is that it would add another small group tactic for dealing with siege groupings. If you capture the siege area, your team should be able to claim the rewards. Naturally, Golems would be a difficult thing to capture, but imagine how fun it would be to stumble upon the enemy zerg’s golem factory location and capturing it before they were built. Remember all those enemy flame rams that are left at keep gates, barring your server’s flame rams from being dropped? Cap the rams, and they’re your toys to play with now.

The idea behind the second request is due in part to two things:
1) The siege limit in WvWvW is annoying and this would let servers clean up friendly siege in areas they no longer need it. Maybe even have a small chance to recover blueprints? Especially with greater reports of the prevalence of WvWvW server spies wasting siege by building it in un-opportune areas.
2) If the first request is implemented, servers would need to get rid of abandoned siege which could be captured by enemy servers.

The third request is just a preference. It doesn’t make sense for both zergs to be in open warfare, yet the one closest to their keep wins out due to their siege not affecting them. Siege should always be a risk/reward factor. Do I order the arrow carts to fire into melee, knowing my own troops are to be killed? Golems probably wouldn’t work very well with this, but Golems make sense to not affect nearby units. You can see them and avoid them.
