Q:
Question: Intent of WvW update..
I find your post rather ODD, seeing as I am on FA which has a MUCH higher population than your match up we haven’t really seen zergs controlling the bloodlust. Often times there is only about 10 people from one server rolling around the bloodlust while the main forces ignore it and just go for PPT. The other servers don’t really seem to care too much about it either to send more than 15 people ever.

While i appreciate that you do not have this issue on your match up, with ours it is a glaring advantage for the server with the larger and more numerous Zergs. If you can field 3-5 30+ man zergs and you know if you hold all three borderlands bloodlust zones your entire realm will get +150 to there stats, don’t you think it would be simple for that server to do just that ?
I know i would take advantage of those lopsided zerg numbers and compound it with even more lopsided stats.
Again, i am not blaming SBi for doing just this, what i do not understand is that Anet has in the past been more on the side of less zerging, now it seems like a huge shift towards “Zerg more and we will reward you”.
I am hoping that Anet realizes how slanted the PvP aspect of WvW becomes when A server controls all the buffs.
It is to early to tell if WvW as a game mode is broken atm. However, the PvP aspect of it is not very fun after the patch in my opinion. I really like receiving points on stomps but I feel that the buffs are a bit too much of an advantage to give to an entire server.

Yeah would be great to even just get a kill now, even better if one leads to a stomp, but alas, with greater numbers and greater stats staring us in the face its basically a morale destroyer for my server.
