Don't remove the Orbs, just swap the Orb buff for the Outmanned Buff.

Leave the orbs.

Swap the Outmanned Buff for the current Orb buff. If you are few in number and trying to establish a foothold or one of the few last standing defending, that player should be rewarded for their heroism.

Give the Orbs the +MF/Karma/XP that make them interesting but not that important for WvWvW.

Also make sure to kill off all the Botter balls in the lakes killing Kraits.

Did you really need a new thread just to say what many others have already said in the developer’s thread?

I agree with OP, but then again, I’m glad they’re removing them, better than Anet doing nothing.

Yes, remove the orbs until they can deal with hackers. If you make it a boon that results in any type of extra money the hackers will be even worse, as they will use it as another means to farm gold and sell it.

Better to remove them fast, so they have time to work on a permanent fix rather than let the situation escalate even more.

“rewarding them for heroism” is different from “gaining a tactical advantage.” In fact, the out manned team is “rewarded for their heroism” through bonus karma and magic find.

I don’t think it’s a good design to give the out-manned team supernatural strength (bonus stats) just for being out-numbered. It just makes no logical sense.

Because it also has flaws and does not address the underlying issue of hack/exploits.

Swapping the buff = bad idea. Outmanned buff was good for gold farms. I’m sure they were hacking orbs to cause the outmanned buff on one side or another on busy days. Gold per hour is all they care about. Have some fun on everyone else’s expense. Steal some poor moron’s account who purchased the gold… Swapping the buffs would only encourage them to do it all the time because the orbs would mean pure money.
