I see many suggestions on here that are decent but will require weeks of coding and testing. here are a couple of suggestions that I believe can help ease some problems and should be easy to implement.(obviously I cannot guarantee that they are easy to do only AN can do that.)

1. Disable wall and gate upgrades. This will remove the number one frustration for lower population servers. Currently a high population server can use off peak hours to cap the entire borderlands and EB. They then upgrade all keeps to maximum so when the next prime time rolls around, the lower population servers are now facing equal numbers of defenders in fully upgraded keeps. This is what enables one server to easily fight 2. Turning off these upgrades should make it easier for the underpopulated servers to make a faster comeback in prime time, thus encouraging more participation. (By high and Low population i mean the number of participants in wvw around the clock not the actual population of the server.)

2. Disable or at least hide scoring. This is more of a psychological deterrent than anything. People look at the score and decide that anything they try and do is futile. However, this is not true. My server is currently losing badly by the score, yet I am making loads of money and have a steady supply of badges and karma rolling in every night.

Off peak capping unbalancing prime time matches and lack of participation due to the appearance of futility are the 2 most damaging aspects of the current wvw system. I hope these are easy simple fixes, if not feel free to ignore me. If you want to just pick one please make it the first one as I think that is having the most detrimental impact on wvw at the moment. The nice thing is if these fixes don’t have any impact it should be just as easy to revert the changes.

If you can think of any other quick and easy to implement fixes list em here.
