An idea i had. Do not know if it was already thought of yet or not.

If the actual keeps in the borderlands acted as the sources of power, then it would not only be more difficult to obtain them but also to keep them, making it to where its a constant battle to keep the keeps rather than a race to see who can exploit an orb first.

The lack of initiative caused by the removal of the orbs makes the borderlands slightly pointless in a way in my opinion, although i will not say it was a bad move to remove the orbs because of exploitation.

If a post already exists that is simular or they already did somethign like this i apologize, i havent been on wvw in awhile ankittenerrible at research.

The problem with Orbs and related mechanics is, that it works in favor of the realm that is already winning and thus making it harder for the underdogs to catch up. This won’t change with your proposal.

+1 to the idea, but the bonus should also change. It could be as simple as extra points.

I’m doubting lack of ideas has anything to do with the reason we haven’t seen a replacement, or any other enhancement since launch.
