I have noticed many things about Walls, in my time playing the game. After a in-depth study of such, I have arrived at the conclusion that they require a bonk on the head with the nerf-flail; here I provide you with insurmountable evidence:
- Walls can take up the attention of countless inexperienced players with their cursors poised diligently over the ‘1’ button, ignorant of the many people typing for them to stop.
- To add insult to injury, the walls can not be destroyed by 1-spam, which as we all know goes against everything WvW stands for.
- In addition, Walls seem to have high autotarget priority, meaning any of those playing on mobile devices (or any of those inferior to a good computer), or unable to target things themselves, suffer random targeting of aforementioned Walls.
- Walls also render most siege weapons near obsolete, your surprise melee-Treb is more often than not easily destroyed; this coupled with the lack of ‘Asura’ firing option makes the most effective way of dealing with coming across a Wall flyhacking.
- Lastly, for some reason Walls take up a Guardians Grandmaster Trait ‘Battle Presence’, which isn’t awesome seeing as it only effects 5 people altogether, and if standing in the courtyard of a tower 4 uses can be taken, if standing anywhere else you’re generally losing 2.
As you can clearly see from the compiled data, a solution to this crisis is needed sorely – I suggest adding an ICD, making the maps bigger, buffing Trebuchets (Viva La Asura) or removing the constructs altogether.
Yours Sincerely, Anonymous.

Just REMOVE walls. And keeps. And towers.
You can keep sentries.

I love this…1-spam is everything wvw stands for?
Walls should just be removed from the game. I mean, they even prevent direct access to the lords room. How are we supposed to get WxP!? Every time I try and destroy a wall with a flame ram it deals no damage!
I’m pretty sure the takeaway from OP’s post is Anet giving us:
WvW Trebuchet Skill: Launch Asura

Excuse me, I need to go sharpen the horns on my dragon helmet.
Asuran mesmers with dragon helmets being launched from trebs and catapults is the future of WvW. We should all just accept it now! Though the best counter would be to allow ele’s to reflect treb shots again, to reflect the asuras being launched!
I knew my research would be useful. Now we just need to filter for the most aerodynamically effective Asura; I’m guessing one would need a small body so as to minimise air resistance, coupled with large ears, which when extended can slow the descent of an Asura-torpedo, allowing for minor course corrections and targeting.
Impaling people with Asura, the possibilities are endless… assassinate keep lords, place strategically to create handholds for a Zerg to climb up, kamikaze units bearing highly combustable booze and birthday candles… heck the basic idea would have solved the walking into Mordor problem instantly, and made the LotR films a lot shorter in the process…

Best set of suggestions in the history of these forums.
