Right now only mobile siege unit is alpha and omega golems. How about if we can move other siege units. 10 Second repack/deploy cast time 5 Second fire cooldown after deploy. Slow move speed equal or slower speed than golems. This is just an example packing/deploying times and movement speed can be different for different siege unit types. It can be moved by certain amount of players ex: 3 players has to mount on to siege unit and first one is in control of riding it but 3 players pushing it still can get attacked and if any of them is downed siege unit stops moving.

Benefits:
-Misplaced siege by new players can be corrected.
-It will create new strategies.
-Will give the boost to WvW players who is getting bored of repetitive WvW.
-Siege cap abuse by spies can be fixed with this solution
-More efficent siege cap. You don’t have to leave 2-3 rams in every place you capture or other siege finished it’s business.
-Flame ram’s flame function might be functional on packed moving mode to make it more interesting.

Minuses
-Unwanted players or spies can move the siege.(Can be fixed by making siege unit to be moved only by its owner)
-May cause some new glitched or bugs. (Well I trust Anet on this one)

too easily abused
Get a zerg for 24
make 6 rams (mainly the outer doors of lowlands in EB)
Make them all at the same time, even reinforced doors will drop to 6 rams ridiculously fast. and just plow through the two doors that are practically next to each other

Incompatibility error detected.

I imagine they thought about this already but decided it was too problematic.

Siege units on move take double or triple damage.

Read again. and don’t forget Anet did not fix this issue yet.
I am not saying “Can be fixed by making siege unit to be moved only by its owner” is the only solution it will be same as current system since you can not move the spies siege still. I have an other thread about siege cap abuse fix which is suggesting: to:
Owner of the siege unit or Commanders can destroy their servers siege units if needed.

I don’t like it. Learn to manage your ressources if you need to break multiple doors/walls.

Rams in DAOC could be moved, mainly in the event that they were placed out of range of the door. They moved VERY slowly, although it was always fun and cool to see people riding around in a ram, even though it would take them forever to move from one keep to the next.

Mobile cannons have already been suggested (can’t build or bring them into towers, keeps, etc), and also suggested as a replacement to trebs (which the more dominant side can use to be even more dominant).

Personally I’m not a fan of trebs as they can be placed such that defenders cannot reach them whilst being guarded by a few people and they proceed to break down say GG walls without the opposition being able to get to them. They generally give a much greater advantage to the already stronger side making wvw match ups less even.

So with this idea you can build multiple trebs out of their treb reach and push them from different sides until they can reach to enemy treb and deploy them to hit their Treb. It will create way more tactics give multiple options.
