For battlegroups to work and improve WvW it has to make people care about the result of match-ups, it has to add some competition. It has to make people want to log into WvW and feel that their contribution matters to the outcome. And a big part of this is investing people in their “team” or community.
I couldn’t agree more. I wasn’t around for seasons, but from what a lot of people are saying, they want it back regularly.
I wasn’t around prior to links either, but from what I hearing, they were (mostly) implemented because people were angry about night capping and being outnumbered. And from what I understand, this is typical of every tier, regardless. Making WvW similar to EotM will not resolve this. EotM is often lopsided as well.
So I also vote with others on no thanks on the OP’s proposal without some major tweaking.
