Guild Wars 2

The orb mechanic added an element of directionality and tension on the map that has been lost since they were removed. In my opinion the capture the flag mechanic should never had been removed and was meant as an essential part of WvW. The current stale matches of WvW where blobs are just karma training illustrate how much has been lost with the orbs removal: The orb was a necessary polarity on the battlefield.

They were supposedly removed for 2 reasons:
1- They were overpowered
2- Hackers were stealing them

I would imagine by now that hacking is no longer possible in GW2 so therefore all that needs to be done is balance the orbs to the current gameplay.

I propose the following:
What ever server that possesses the Orb makes +10 ppt
If the server possessing the Orb is outnumbered then the Orb points triple to 30 ppt

This way an outnumberred server could at least concentrate all their forces on keeping the orb on their side.

Please Bring Back The Orbs!

Edit: Add the orbs to EotM as well in a different way (more like capture the flag) and add EotM to ppt rotation.

What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t remove game features because of hackers. Read through the lines.
