Guild Wars 2

With the change to orange swords; defense has become more difficult, requiring more scouting and co-ordination. The benefits haven’t really increased though (arguably decreased; since you just get to keep defending the tower/keep, but now it probably has less supply…).

I would like to see a matching increase to the value of defense; either in simple rewards from dynamic event or making the location easier to retake based on how it is defended.

As it is now; a freshly taken tower/keep has 100% durability; and camps have 6 minute buff preventing them from flipping.
I think it would be interesting to see the meta-game changenif those numbers reduced based on the defense of the location(i.e. -5% for each successful consecutive defense event).
This could significantly increase the value of defense; hopefully increasing the willingness to defend…

If the defense event ticks over twice, then on the third round all defenders should be allowed to dual-wield charzookas that fire Asuran thieves.

To my mind removing the reward for dolly escorts was a bad move.

If someone killing a dolly gets a reward… Surely someone protecting a dolly to it’s destination should get a reward to?

I think defenders should just get the bonus exp/loot/coin/badges from kills buffs from being near a friendly location or dolyak instead of having those be guild claim buffs.
