I just had 3 small thoughts for how to increase participation in WvW.

1) Merge Smaller Servers. Now that we have Mega servers in game, we don’t need so many servers, and if some smaller servers were merged, we might get a higher # of people in WvW.

2) Farming. Right now, EOTM is the premium farm land and drawing a lot of players (self included) out of WvW. What if there were some T6 mat nodes that appeared only in an enemy castle/keep/tower etc that were only active for a short amount of time after you took it over and than didn’t re spawn in that tower for your server for x amount of time.

3) Revive orbs or some sort of revive ability….. I hate going all the way across the map dying in a battle and trying to run across the map to join my zerg again while getting one shoted over and over by random roaming theifs/Mes. Nothing inspires a
“leave mists” rage quit faster than getting killed in 1 second after running across the entire map to find the fight in full exotic gear.

Thoughts?

Dear God no.

If anything death should be more punishing and I could care less about mats and crafting. Downed state should be removed entirely and death should instantly send you back to a spawn point. Let us just buy ascended with badges, keep the crafting bullkitten in PvE.
