If your server is outmanned, then THAT IS THE ISSUE, NOT BLOODLUST. You should be beseeching Anet to fix population issues. If you’re server is in a very unbalanced match, then IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT BLOODLUST GIVES 1 POINT OR 3. You are going to loose. Transfer servers, or blow up the forums asking them to come up with a solution for population balance. Screwing up bloodlust for even population server matches is not how you fix things.

Wow, bloodlust has flown so far over your head it boggles the mind how that ever happened.

It also gives a boost to raw stats. Do you understand?

If you’re already losing due to numbers (Are you following?)
and those bigger numbers also have a stat increase (Still following?)
it makes fighting impossible. Do you understand?

The enemy that is already winning due to having more players (stacked, fair weather) does not need to have a stat boost.

Bloodlust has a negative impact on wvw. Do you understand?

Food gives a raw boost for stats, so does sharpening stones. Depending on the food, you could get 100 points to a stat and 70 points to another. These are greater than the stat boost you get from holding the arena, but do people cry out how unfair they are? No, because everybody uses them.

The main reason why people think this nerf is good (And a reason you don’t seem to understand) is you get less points for stomping people. Suppose you have a group that just killed a 15 man group and you got stomps for each one…You just gained points equal to that of holding a tower for a tick. If you had the old system in play, you get 45, which is more than holding a keep for a tick. Sure, the stat boost helps people kill, but it was the overall stomp points that could end up making the difference. If you were behind by 3000 points, you could simply stomp 1000 players and this isn’t just you, your team could be doing this on all of the BLs.

This ties back to the argument of the server that causes the blow-out; they would be getting three points for every stomp while both servers don’t get points for stomps. They would also have the stat boost, which was pretty generous, and the combination of these two would widen the gap even more between the outmanned and the huge server. Now that things have been dialed back quite a bit, the boosts are less necessary and a 30/50/60 point boost isn’t anything to phone home about either.
