Guild Wars 2

It does seem counter-intuitive for the ANet GW2 team to try to have balanced match-ups in WvW with a ranking system…while server swapping is almost wide open…

Needs to be a little more difficult or costly to server move.

Count me in on modification to the Orb Bonus and Outmanned Buff. There should be a statistical combat advantage to Orb possession in order to maintain the ‘capture-the-flag’ dynamic to the tactics and strategy of WvW, but currently its too high in my opinion. Having it cut in half (approximately) would still be enough to have it be worthwhile without it being overwhelming. While the Outmanned Buff should grant a combat advantage as well…and somewhat near to what is granted by three orbs.

I love WvW, but in spite of that, at the current state of the Orb bonuses its either no fun cause your rolling over everything with it, or getting rolled by everything without it. I think it really needs some refinement to encourage interest and participation.
