WvW Poll 18 July: Cannon Blueprints (Closed)

Dear ANET… I am very happy that you are making these polls… but as a hardcore WvW’r since almost launch, this is the worst idea. So many people who even play WvW on a less hardcore standpoint hate “Siege Wars” as it is called. To add in cannon blueprints will absolutely destroy the capability of groups of people to reliably pierce through objectives, making the game mode unplayable for anyone except the people who love to sit on siege. I do not fault anyone who does this, even though I myself do not do it and loathe it, people have their own ways of having fun… But cannons are good where they are, as upgrades to a keep/tower, with only 2 of them. Especially if there becomes a basic and superior version, and it keeps all the cannon skills from what it is now, it will become 100% impossible to take anything, or to have fun in this game mode if you do not wish to roam.
As a final note, I ask that you try to find a way to keep these polls to the WvW’rs, and not the PvE players. Results are skewed by this and it can end up harming the game mode in the future. Maybe make the poll notification take much longer (aka more playtime in WvW), or some other way that sends this/opens this to only WvW players who spend the majority of their time there. Please please please, to let cannons become deployable blueprints will harm the game mode, and will drive many veterans who loathe “Siege Wars” off the game.
