There is one thing missing that I would really love to see in WvW one day, Destructible bridges. It would need a new map or a change to existing maps to be of any worth, but if there were several supply routes that could only be traversed via a bridge, with impassable cliffs on either side of the destination this would be a great addition to objective control.

Controlling the bridge would be just as important as holding the supply camp and would add a third phase to defending/attacking the supply routes to a keep (phase one is the supply, two is the sentry) Invaders would want to blow up bridges forcing keep defenders to use up valuable supply to repair in order to reopen supply routes.

Why not just take the camp, and strip the supply.

Why not just take the camp, and strip the supply.

The supply line is just one aspect of it. A destroyed bridge also cuts reinforcements to the keep, adds an additional choke point to a keep assault and gives the defenders an extra supply drain if they need to repair it. It also gives the defenders an advantage in that they can destroy the bridge to deter an invading force or force them to attack a different gate. Imagine if the south bridge of Hills keep was destructible, making the north gate the only way in or out for supply, reinforcements or even invaders.
