Create a WvW lobby by simply taking the center portion of home BL citadel and the surrounding NPC and crafting areas. Have it be a separate map and have the map chat from the home BL map. That map could have it’s own player cap. You could even have portals at all the main exit points into the fight areas of the map, so functionally it would be the same as the current map. Then disable all crafting from the other maps. There is no need to craft on a WvW map and no reason any server resources should be spent on non participating players when there are lag problems for the people actually participating in WvW.
Wow, that ’s a good idea. Oh wait it already exists, better, they already exist. Crafting areas in pve capitals. Just remove it from wvw, remove mobs as well while you are there. Ty

Naw I use it to change gear, get siege, food etc .. you can use the banking side of the crafting tables to get/store stuff. Having an actual banker on map helps too, but if you don’t have the banker upgrade in your keep (worse still, you don’t own any property), then you have no options to swap stuff out.
Well, I sorta disagree with the notion that there’s not a need to use crafting stations in wvw. It’s the best way of bank access without having to leave wvw.
Personally, I think every wvw map should have crafting stations or maybe OP’s idea should be extended to all 4 maps.This would also spread out the people that came to wvw just to craft for whatever reason.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Some suggestions where.
Remove from all maps.
Place them into EotM & remove from Citadel
Place them into Obsidium sanctum & remove from Citadel.
Yeah I know, but this version of the idea would maintain the basic structure of the borderlands map while removing the idle/crafting players from the map player cap…
Wouldn’t mind making Citadel itself into a own map, a sort of WvW lobby, similar to Heart of the mists. Thus lag wouldn’t be an issue, queue’s wouldn’t be an issue etc. And people wouldn’t get angry for someone using it to get crafting stations or free portal to LA etc.
Other than that, I wouldn’t mind them replacing the crafting stations with a couple of banker npc’s instead, would for the most part solve the issue, and sending the crafters to LA, while people can still swap items and grab more superior siege etc.
Not quite certain what to do with the existing spot for citadels, though the idea that I COULD actually ram down the door to citadel from north camp is awesome...

You can access your bank from the guild rep on every map. “I want to access the guild bank.” > Change the drop down menu on the top left to personal account vault. No need for crafting stations. Get rid of them. They don’t belong in WvW.
