Guild Wars 2

Title says it all.

Who agrees or disagrees and why ?

I like the idea, but then getting an orb would not be a top priory.

Why not? You don’t want more Karma for more gear to beat your opponents? I sure do.

Swapping the two buffs would make the orbs pointless and no one would spend any important resources taking them. Each server starts on even grounds with one orb each. It is your responsibility to protect your orb and keep it from being stolen by the other team. If you’re really concerned about the orb, just kill the first person who snatches the orb and hide it in your garrison.

Orbs provide a nice buff to the servers that are willing to spend the extra resources fighting for them. Removing this buff removes a fun and challenging aspect to WvW.

Yes please and just put them on the point tick maybe 15 to keep them more important than towers but less than keeps to provide an incentive to get the orbs but not make them priority over everything else.

Overall orbs pretty much mean a team that has overwhelming force during certain times of the day or week has a big advantage and prevents other servers from coming back and gives them an easier time defending once they have taken most of the map if not all.

Although the unmanned buff alone needs to be changed as it doesn’t help those who are undermanned even out with the people they are fighting just tells them hey go pve and you’ll get some nice stuff but taking a keep/tower/supply camp will still be pretty hard.
