Guild Wars 2

The more money you are willing to spend on siege (superior rams/ golems / amount), the better chance you can take a tower before the enemy can react.

You know how fast a T3 tower falls to 5 Superior Rams and a 50+ mob to support that action? Less than a minute. Barely any time to react. Not enough time for a few Arrow Carts to stop a mob that is spamming heals and protection.

This is a mechanic that seems broken to me. How can you go toe to toe against enemies willing to spend badges (that they’ve attain from blob farming) to effectively fast capture a tower before you can get there?

Make the doors stronger? Not fair for smaller groups who won’t ever amass such firepower.

Limit siege on doors to 3 normal rams or 2 superiors? Doesn’t seem right either.

If defenders can’t get from the main spawn to their tower (in EBG) to support a handful of defenders on AC’s, something needs to change, in my opinion.

I’m I being ridiculous or do others have similar thoughts?

Have more people sentry your towers with siege set up?

Welcome to Capitalism life is unfair

Welcome to world vs world, Money is spent to fund the war effort, don’t like it then play something else.

Supply is always the bottle-neck in WvW, not blue prints. A couple of well placed supply traps and you could’ve been laughing at their half-built rams and wiped their 50-man with an arrow cart or 2.

True. What I see there is evidence of a zerg. Not “OMG MONEY SPENDERS!” Can easily get flame rams and upgrade them to superiors from JPs and such. Zergs with kitten tons of supply are your problem, not the cheapest piece of siege in the game.

You can just do what we do on Devona’s. Not buy or upgrade anything, think this is part of the reason Anet sent Borlis to us this week. :-P

Scout the zerg heading to your tower next time.

Gives you more time to respond.

Plus the silver given out from the DE reward for that tower split among 50 people can pay for 5 superior rams by itself.
