The outmanned buff is a nice consolation prize to a team that’s being crushed, reward faster growth to players that make the effort to wvw even though they have no chance… but what if an opposite condition existed?

Outmanning
You greatly outnumber the enemy in their borderlands.
-20% magic find
-33% experience
-33% karma

I know the counter argument is not to penalize servers for having high coverage, which is why I suggest this only exist if a team is outmanned in their own borderlands (ie. if you have all of your own borderlands, and eb, and both of the opposing servers are still outmanned in their own borderlands, there should be discouragement from farming them). This would help protect third place from being ganged up on as much, because first and second tend to divvy up third place for points, rather than fighting each other (as was the intention of having 3 teams, second and third gang up on first more often than not simply because there is more to gain from fighting them).

This would discourage beating a losing team into a pulp, and seeking out more fair fights for wvw farming.
