One of the things I don’t like is how once a side has gotten their keep fully fortified/waypointed they can just start ignoring yaks while other upgrading keeps REALLY need yaks giving a large advantage to servers who can field one really strong timezone and then just keep all their things afterwards because it’s a massive uphill battle for the servers with less population.

To fix this make it so that when a keep is not being upgraded it’s supply starts to drain if a yak has not been escorted to it in X amount of time. This way when a server’s strong timezone comes in they have a chance at taking back some of the keeps/maybe even towers.

I don’t like, how you want to implement this, because it will screw over the current supply balance. It will take way longer to upgrade keeps under heavy pressure, thus, the weaker server will get even more problems getting their keeps upgraded.
On the other hand, there is an interesting way to implement this feature: Make waypoints require “maintenance”. So having the waypoint upgrade will slowly drain supplies from the keep, that could be an interesting option.

Isnt the entire point of fortifying a position to have it… fortified? Starving out and taking a keep is half the gameplay in WvW (if not a little more). Yes it is an uphill battle, that’s the entire point.

build some trebs to hit the depots whenever someone has mastery or hit walls and hope they have some nabs trying to fix it while under fire, ive seen keeps supply count being drained over 1k just because of this

You can drain away a keeps supply with a trebuchet.
