Whenever I WvW and a cannon or mortar unmanned while the enemy is right in front of us I shake my head, it seems to me that people clearly don’t understand how powerful these things are against siege and infantry.
I lost track of the time where I’ve taken a T3 towers with catapults and rams, only to find that on my way up the stairs to find that the mortar is left untouched, knowing fully well that it could’ve taken out our siege in under a minute. I’ve also been on the receiving end of such situation, ending into a tower/keep under attack only to find people staring at the door while doing nothing and not manning inner mortars or doing something useful, its completely infuriating to find these people so ignorant of essential WvW elements (manning siege, keep 10 supplies on personal at all times).
Another problem I see is that people preemptively dump all their supplies and even the keeps supplies at times during a siege before the outer layer even falls, that supplies needs to be reserved to rebuild the gate AFTER you clear out the zerg, unless you have good reason to stall (buying a few seconds for the ally zerg to come to the resuce), but if that isn’t the case then your efforts is more often than not in vain and maybe even hurtful as you won’t be able to build a choke ballista later on.

TL;DR – I don’t like bad decisions.

I’ll tell you the reason. Some people don’t like sitting in the same place as if you’re immobile. They’d rather be dishing it out on the front lines and dying in melee combat than staying behind the lines and manning siege equipment.
What can you do except find more like-minded players to man some siege equipment.
Lol we had a massive Zerg in hills the other day …. They dutifully took out our cannons, then ran up the wall to build a treb and guard it …. Only they didn’t seem interested in stopping me leaping over the wall six times and running back inside to repair the cannon, which I promptly used to blast away at them glued on the wall. I’m not a oh so many bags I got type of person, but man there were quite a few that day.

Except they don’t even try to ward off enemies from the top, they just stand in the courtyard trying to look as dashing as possible while holding a stupid greatsword.

It is somewhat annoying when things need to be done, but everyone is either standing on top of the wall giving off an occasional pot shot, or hitting the door.
