Currently, EotM is pretty much used for leveling your toons if you hate PvE leveling and/or obtaining karma. Here and there you see some guild groups running around breaking zergs, but that doesnt happen all that often.
How about if ANet were to standardize the gear of people who go in there, just as they do for PvP? So you go in, youre already level 80, now select your Rune/Amulet/Sigils, and youre pretty much set up for fighting others on equal terms.
The reason I say this is so that Guilds who are looking to try out new strategies with builds etc can try them without having to spend time and resources making a new set of armor and weapons just to try out a new comp. Moreover, this would encourage more people to go to EotM and fight it out when they’re looking for fun. You could take your guild with you and try out new professions that you may not have ready for WvW yet, etc. Also randomize all the servers every 3 hours in terms of their colours, so you could fight new people whenever you go online. With the lack of structured GvGs in this game, I feel that this would help that scene out too since you could fight other guilds or even zergs to test your skill.
Let’s not screw over the people who use it to level up right now. So even though everything is standardized as in sPvP, the experience you earn would still level you up normally.
EotM is such a good looking map, clearly a lot of resources went into making it look and function the way it is. And I feel that it’s not reached its full potential yet.
