While adding bankers to each borderland is appreciated, I feel like this would’ve been the perfect opportunity to convert Obsidian Sanctum into a “lobby” of sorts for WvW.
For ages it has been almost forgotten, used only primarily by duellists and guilds. If each spawn had an area that provided players with the basic NPCs (ie. Bankers/crafting stations/merchants/repairs/Trading Post/Mystic Forge), it would become a server-specific place to queue for other borderlands while doing your daily crafting, etc.
Since it’s a PvP-enabled zone that is shared with the other servers in your tier, it would also provide another relevant place to duel or even roam, with the jumping puzzle adding interesting terrain. (On the subject of which, in addition, perhaps the chest at the end could be buffed to incentivize more players to participate?)
I feel that this would add back the functionality missed in borderlands maps while reinvigorating a zone that doesn’t see much use these days. While you would still lose your place in the queue to go there for whatever reason, it would help to mitigate the issue that other people have brought up in this thread about those who don’t contribute or limit numbers in a borderland. I suppose guilds could also advertise there, since, like other borderlands, OS is server-specific.
Just my 2c.
