1) ANet has to finally implement Defense WvW Skills that make it for players easier to defend locations against zergs to buy your world at least long enough time that some serious help could arrive.
2) Anet has to improve significantly the Upgrade Options for Towers, Camps and Strongholds, to make taking them for large Zergs significantly harder and time consuming to break through to the champ room
3) ANet has to add more interesting Traps into the game together with a Trap Mastery Skill so that defenders could get with them a better advantage.
4) Anet has to improve the Outmanned Buff, so that it finally becomes a siginificant boost and help for the underpopulated side to get effectively a chance to conquer somethign back or to defend something, by getting their Champions improved to Champ Commanders that raise the maximum health of the underpopulated side.
The Outmanned Buff should also decrease the Supply Cost for Siege Weapons and Traps by 50%
5) Towers and Strongholds should get a set up amount of Siege Weapon Slots, which increases with every time that you upgrade successfully the tower/stronghold.
Siege Weapon Slots should provide the location UNDESTRUCTABLE siege weapons.
Cannons should become through this undestructable.
Players which command siege weapons should receive no damage and should not be influencable through any CC effects, like fear, launches and the like…
A player, which commands a siege, commands it so long, until that player leaves it, or the location gets conquered by the ewnemie, which leads automatically to the destruction of all enemy siege weapon that were build in their slots.
If a player is still using a siege weapon, when the location gets conquered, that player will automatically die by the explosion of the siege weapon.
6) AoEs should not be placeable on Tower/Stronghold Walls. Defenders that are standing on a higher position have a natural advantage and should deal increased damage and increased range for ranged attacks against all the foes on the ground.
A feature, which already existed in GW1, its unacceptable and unexplainable, why this feature doesn’t exist anymore in GW2, when it would fit so logically here in WvW.
An arrow, that you shoot from a higher position, than from the ground, will fly alot wider.
An arrow shot from a high position, is alot easier shot at a deadly point (head), than to shoot it from the ground, where chances are bigge,r that you will hit somethign different or don’t hit at all. Thats also reason, why a mounted calvary is always in advantage against a slow infantry, not only because the cavalry is faster, but also their attacks from the higher position has better potential to be deadly, because from a mount its alot easier to attack directly a foe’s head …
A conqueror should focus on attacking the gate/walls, not on farming way to easy with AoE spam defenders from the walls which makes it for defenders nearly impossible to defend at all, unless you have placed somewhere siege weapons, which don’t can get hit by all the AoE damage.
7) Only through successfully defending places should players get rewarded with Karma, this will kill finally the huge karma train zergs and bring people to defend more, than to leave places defenseless behind, so that the enemy can take them back easier so that the karma train can keep on cycling … this has to stop.
Defending places needs to give more WExP, effectively more than taking a camp or tower.
8) Siege Weapons, that are build outside of the undestructable siege weapon slots, should be repairable, if the player that threw the blueprint has a correspondign siege item WvW skill rank higher than 5 tiers (means, all the other WvW Skilsl need to be finally raised to 10 tiers also)
9) Anet should add finally class specific WvW Skills to improve the class roles in WvW, so that each class can do something special in WvW that makes the class useful in several different aspects of WvW.
10) WvW should have its seperate own Skill Balancing for Class Balaces. Alot of the skills are overpowered for a WvW Setting. Bets thign would be, if all classes would have for WvW completely different Skills, that are only useable in WvW, cause its alot easier to balance an own Skill Set for WvW, than to balance a skill set, of skilsl that is for all game modes the same.
11) All kinds of buff items/food have to be removed out of WvW. This stuff needs to become finally PvE only, like that stuff worked in GW1. There these items were also PvE only and that out of a good reason. The ionly Stat Boosts in WvW that players should receive is either through WvW Skill Effects, or through taking the Shrines of Power, Wisdom and Courage (which should get changed into that kind of style, so that each shrine is somethign special)
Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside
