Too much dependance and efficient using siege weapon.
A little oversatement, WvW victory is simple result that which server has siege weapon a lot.

for example, In eternal, the player who has trabuchet in high territorial of castle just spam #2 button to specific area (ex : bridge, bottlen neck spot) 24 hours.

Just guess but there’s possiblity that can uses a macro or something because of unlimited using.

Plus, Not to be unlimit spamming need to penalty to use that.
And arrow cart, it’s very very efficient to defend side.

In my opinion, ranged siege weapon need to consume some supply.
Siege weapon must not be personal+spammable thing, should be strategic and public goods.
For example, Trabucheht consumes player’s supply 2 per shot, and arrow cart consumes player’s supply 1 per shot.
Yeah, it must be ranged siege weapon only, not ram, golem something.

It would be more strategic play and it won’t be monopolize a siege weapon which located at sweet spot.
And supply area will be more important area for defend side.

You have sufficient supply and someone need a player who has sufficient supply and can handle the siege weapon? do it!

Siege weapon must be public goods, which can access any player who has sufficient supply. not personal spamming one.

There are already penalties for using them:

  • Acquiring the siege weapon costs (money/time).
  • Building the siege weapon takes supply.
  • The siege weapon is immobile.
  • The player using the siege weapon is immobile.
  • The siege weapon is quite vulnerable and can’t defend itself.

I get what you’re trying to say, but there is a PvP solution to this: hunt down the siege weapon and destroy it. There’s almost nowhere on the map that can’t be reached with your own siege weapon or players to counter it (with some possible exploitative exceptions that we think are being addressed).

^That post, the simple solution to siege weapons bombarding you is by sending a few people to go and destroy it.
