Guild Wars 2

In my opinion your aim is to make GvG maps. (I hate these GvG’s and they are no part of WvW for me)
Anet didn’t want large scale/zerging but i doubt, that they want Guilds doing ego stuff on maps.
There are also people who enjoy large scale, I like to fight sometimes in 40vs40 etc. It’s kind of fun for me.
I may be wrong but DBL is not 3-5 years old, it’s far younger. 1-2 years old.

WvW needs to grant access to many players. For this you need big maps. I don’t understand what your intention is… It sounds like a complete new game mode and not like a rework of WvW

1) Rotation with old and new Boarders
2) Proof of Heroics Accountbound, you weaken your team on some profs when you play without
3) Squadsize increased by 50 (in total: 100)
4) never ever bring pve events to wvw pls…
5) give a reason to the wvw rank points that are left after 900 ranks (auto loot etc maybe, but just skillable after reaching rank xxx)

In my opinion it is a roll back for some facts and a upgrade for others – the right way.

The problem with changing modes and killing them stays for anet since gw1. If you take a look at the pvp-area which was great you see that they killed several modes to bring a new one (codex 0players in prime time)

On this way they will argue again with the new maps “All player love them and more player on these maps than on the old.” I dont understand why they killed the Quaggan on Alpine-Boarder and make ruins just to return to PvE kitten on the new. If they are up horrible lags start for many player.

Last but not least you, A-Net, said that the Alpine-Boarders and Desert-Boarders will be in rotation or something like that after some weeks of Desert only. Where are they?
