Obersvation: After 1 year of playing, I have come to a conclusion that GW2 Designers do not play their own game. EOTM map is so unbalance, I dare anyone to find me a game that is more unbalance than EOTM.
Problem: The map in EOTM favor Green; if you are Red/Blue then you are doomed.
-Red and Blue base are too close to each other.
-Red scorps are too easy for attackers to take the base.
-Red base can be attacked from any direction, where blue and green can only be attacked from a few places
Solution: 1) Fix the map, why not make it all the same or at least give proper distance
2) If one server is underpopulation, then the other side can not accept anymore people until the server population are equal balance. 3) if you play your own game at least one.. YOU WILL SEE THAT BADLAND OR RED IS BROKEN!!
If you don’t fix: This is the #1 reason why WvW/EOTM players quit GW2, if they have Red/Blue they simple dont play.
Um… No… Eotm is broken. But I can honestly tell you not a single wvw player will leave or even be slightly bothered by any thing going on in EotM.
Yes, I do because EotM
a) is less broken than WvW
b) less stale as WvW after 2 years without change.
c) helps to finance WvW-playing
d) has people to play against all around the clock, a thing hardly found in WvW anymore outside T1.
e) I am not as ignorant and arrogant as you.to make content-less comments to things, that obviously do not interest you.
Still I do not agree with the OP. Imbalnce in maps is fine, it is refreshing (you need different tactics) as long as you rotate often enough.
EotM has three problems:
- man-power balance, caused by:
- Binding of EotM team to WvW-team (man-power balance would be better if this would be random)
- Color-Rotation only once a week and not every eotm-match, i.e. every 4 hours.

A) how is it less broken? The big zerg will always win (exception being coordinated group which are fewer in eotm) Siege disablers still work, PvD commanders still reign supreme.
B) how is it less stale? This is a serious question cause idk how getting paired up against the tier 1 zerg repeatedly is more fun than a good ole 5v5.
C)How? (Please bring up wvw support pack, please…)
D)fair enough. No issues with this point.

A) scoring is irrelevant instead of bad, upgrades do not boost coverage advantages, coverage is no problem at all, manpower imbalance is easier to fix, as you don’t have communities that start crying against any change.
B) i did played it less often so far. And commanding a Zerg – that to a large extend does not do what you like – successfully is more demanding than commanding people that do what you want. Commanding by chat and lamp only than by voice is more difficult as well.
C) many BoH to buy siege, many exp to get the skill points to upgrade the siege, many champ bags to get the gold to pay upgrades in WvW

A) we might have to agree to disagree on this point. Simply because you’re right, but I just don’t know if irrelevant is better than bad. The man power thing isn’t really a problem either though except that it is almost always on one side. (Which your first post addresses).
B) If we’re talking about commanding then I will concede this point as well. I love commanding off mic, however I usually run militia on borderlands. I suppose on a larger server you might be expected on mic all the time which makes Eotm the only place for map chat commanding.
C) Even on this point I misunderstood you, (hence the comment about support pack). Although you’re right a lot of gold comes from eotm and goes straight into wvw, I think that’s a wvw problem that we need our money to come from somewhere else (although its better than it used to be). However I would still wager more of our gold comes from the tp than eotm. Badges on the other hand well yea those come from eotm.
sorry for any awkward phrasing typing on my phone

A) good is clearly better than irrelevant, an agreement on ignoring a bad thing, is the best you can reach, if it is out of your reach to change it to good.
People complained about wvw maps being all the same so eotm has 3 different areas. Also the point of eotm is so people don’t have to sit in a que to play it. Capping it would defeat that purpose
