Anyone else noticed that?

Because I have. So much more balanced numbers. With everything flipping so fast things remain at T0-T1 with minimal bonuses. The difference between #1 in PPT and #3 could be just SM. No more blowouts by that one server holding T3 keeps.

Tier based bonuses kittening sucked when Anet introduced it and ruined any resemblance of scoring balance. This has been one of the core problems ever since the revamp.

Well, I think people wanted a system that rewards people for tiering structures.

But in reality, tiering the structure is often the reward in itself (easier defense, waypoints), and as a result the strongest server benefitted more by having more tiered structure, thus having more score and tactical advantages; thus snowball. If your stuff is always paper and broken, nobody is going to bother to put effort in defending it by scouting and placing siege and instead elect to flip it back later.

Though I guess no scoring system works in the face of population problems.

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.

I think it’s just better now that people are actually playing WvW. Every server has decent coverage now — that’s why there aren’t any blowouts.
