This would be a nice idea to get more people doing the unrewarding but so effective job to keep all the prebuild siege up, i run alot around the border clicking it and its not a big deal to me but sometimes it feels like im the only one clicking them while there are 50+ roaming all over the place.

They could simply allow ranged siege built near NPCs in a keep/tower to be reset by NPCs. I get why their is a timer but it is a bigger PIA than the problem it is trying to solve. ANet really needs to promote better keep defense and this would definitely help that.

No lol, that would be silly to do, think off those patrols between inner and outter keep walls/gates would nearly reset all siege in there and that job is something a player has to do , not a npc AI
This isn’t a bad idea. But I think it would need to be something along the lines of “Refresh 15 pieces of siege with 45 minutes or less remaining on the timer.” Granted, they still need to give us a way to destroy or recycle troll siege/poorly placed siege as this daily would encourage keeping that stuff refreshed, but that issue has been discussed into the dirt already.

it would keep badly placed / troll siege up idd, thats a downpoint of a daily like this but we already have the repair daily that drains keep supps with people repairing a wall thats under constant treb fire
and yes, a 40min timer minimum to count towards daily is a nice idea aswell
Devon Carter (or whoever put siege timers) got a promotion. The siege timers are a genius way to force you to waste siege (because no one likes scouting/refreshing). This ultimately reduces the supply of elder wood and mithril as well as increases trade post anet fees for selling thousands / millions of siege plans.
Click 10 sieges. Yes would love it.

Before, there was no timers – it was totally random; a siege could be there 15 minutes or 1 hour, without reset – one never knew…
The why an hour is to allow players to have some power over trolls that would put down plenty of useless defense… (eg – cap with regular AC, instead of putting sup, capping the map limit with ballistas, or other grievings)
An excellent suggestion – but make it only valid on siege that’s below say 30 mins on the timer. Otherwise only nearby siege will be refreshed and it’s open to abuse.
I made a suggestion in another thread, that there should be a mastery, that let’s you give up to 2 hours of siege decay to any siege you magical siege maintancing hands touch (along with other abilities in the mastery line ofc).
great suggestion.

This entire post is complete BS.
The siege timers were a critical addition that was requested by the player base as the only workable solution to limit siege griefing.
