Guild Wars 2

I am curious, is there really a siege cap, does it actually work, or is it just a random thing. Why is it I continuously see people being able to build an ungodly amount of siege right next to each other?

There is a cap, but you’re not going to see it even if someone dump 5 superior catas on a paper wall. Its a zone cap.

I thought there was supposed to be one that affected like a 1000 range or something. I know about the map cap Ive seen that, but what about the actual siege cap around you?

When you decide you want to place siege somewhere, the game will observe where you want to throw it and check if there is already 5 siege items within 1000 units (any direction) of where you want your siege item to be placed. If there is already 5 siege items within 1000 units, your siege will not be able to be thrown and you will get a message saying “You cannot place siege weaponry here.” I don’t think this siege cap applies to everything except rams. I have seen situations in which the siege cap glitches for catapults and you can throw more than 5 catapults right next to each other.

That is how I understood this siege cap around players is supposed to function, but the sheer amount of siege I see ppl being able to build right next to each other makes me think something is bugged with it.
