I personally have managed to map all WvW maps on multiple characters. Even when my server has been the same colour for weeks on end. Asking commanders to take X, a lot of the time they will. However I can see some times this wont be so easy..
Building on this idea. I’m not sure if it’s possible tho;
The main issue with this proposal is that borderlands and eb is queued a lot of the time. This means that every player on the map is crucial and really needs to be actively doing WvW.
Siege placement and ally placement is crucial and can make a big difference between success or defeat.
So to build on this proposal;
Ghost-Traveller. You effectively become a ghost and can travel around the WvW map. You can’t see other players, you can’t see siege placement and you can’t pick up supply/deploy siege or otherwise interfere with the world.
The only thing you can do is interact with Vistas/PoIs (and skill points – might be tricky as 3 of them are killing a mob so perhaps not skill points)
During Ghost mode you have a 50% speed buff. (No skills are useable)
This would be a buff that lasts for X minutes (say 30) and has a cool down of 24 hours
Entering a WvW map as a ghost would not take up a queue spot (or map spot)[not sure how this would work technically speaking]
Ending the Ghost buff would remove you from WvW back to Lions Arch.
-I’m not saying this would be a good idea to implement. I’m just building on OPs suggestion.
