I’m on Isle of Janthir in the current ET/IoJ/CD WvW matchup. We were on the CD borderlands tonight and IoJ owned the map. Towards the end of the night there was a group of ET mesmers and thieves that were able to get INSIDE the east keep’s inner walls without any of the outer or inner gates/walls being destroyed. I’m not exactly sure how he got up, but he used a mesmer portal underneath the west edge of the bridge leading to the inner keep. They then proceeded to bug the orb that we had there out and destroy the altar. The orb then reset while the newly formed ET zerg was hitting the west keep.
This same group then proceeded to do the exact same thing in the west keep. ET was pounding on the southern outer gate and it wasn’t yet down. We then saw the crossed swords over our keep lord. We quickly ran in and the keep lord was on about half health. They stealthed and ran off to the north inner gate (which I’m assuming they came in through as they came back in after we chased them off when their zerg hit the inner gate).
This really defeats the purpose of spending hours and lots of gold upgrading a structure when they can just bypass 95% of the fortifications.
