Guild Wars 2

Before I begin let me say Im not here to discuss the merits of one play style over another. Only to ask what to expect in updates.

Its no secret that zerg and siege centered warfare is the dominant activity in wvw. Many game mechanics and designs either encourage this play or discourage small groups and soloers.

At the same time many players Ive spoken with prefer more of a consensual open world pvp environment more focused on fighting other players directly. This is somewhat at odds with the game as it stands. My feelings, and the impression I had after listening to developers discuss the wvw system, was that both play styles would flourish. Its only natural that in the overarching goal of winning a match both roles would be filled.

With no major updates to the wvw system scheduled until February people are curious what developers think of the current state of wvw. Can we expect changes that will encourage small roaming groups or is the system pretty much working as intended? Again, Im not judging one side or the other. Im genuinely curious as to what to expect from upcoming changes.
