The problem is they are invisible due to rendering until they are already on you.
Defense provides pretty good rewards with a decent interval (although reducing it to 1 or 2 minutes is fine by me) but it’s got a bunch of dependencies/limitations that make it far less enticing/possible then just signing up for the local zerg/organized sweep attack.
1. It’s dependent on folks actually attacking the target you are defending – this can lead to long waits with no rewards (you can guess where folks are going to attack)
2. Provided you decide instead to rush to something under attack, you are faced with the risk of time/repair/death in getting there and in, and quite possible a short defense reward before it’s taken because the effort was in progress.
3. As a defender, it’s generally less of you vs more of the attackers. This decreases your odds of survival (meaning possible repairs to offset your defender awards).
4. If you want to actually have a chance of racking up multiple defense awards against the inevitable zerg, you need siege. This usually means money/badges and investing time spent running supply with no reward hoping that you’ll eventually get enough defense reward to recoup. This includes running supply to repair if you want to try to continue to be able to defend a second attempt.
The attack zerg/force side, while potentially being unrewarding during a drawn out keep/tower assault (until captured), usually has enough numbers to ensure a high success rate, and smart commanders make sure there are plenty of easy/sure targets (supply camps, dolayks, sentries, low defense towers) to keep the overall pace of rewards steady. You’re likelyhood of dying is less with rapid rollover of smaller forces, and there’s less no reward downtime due to supply runs/scouting/etc.
You have the extremists of both sides:
It’s WAR! Suck it up! More tears for me! I’m on an organized server, you ain’t, go get it done.
vs
It’s not fair. We can’t win. Kick non peak folks off.
Then you actually have some moderate people that aren’t trying to make it fair, but do believe that working to make tweaks to keep folks “engaged” in the match so that participation stays high is a positive thing.
We all want WvW. We all want opponents.
Both extreme sides lose by not coming to the middle table for discussion.
There can be a WIN WIN here, even if there’s always a 1rst 2nd and 3rd in a WvWvW match.
Quote
“Hi Everyone,
All is fair in love and war – and as love, WvW is a battlefield.
There are exploits, I’ll give you that – but then there is coordinated effort to ensure your world or your team uses each and every resource they have to their advantage.
War is not fair, war is not pretty, war gets out the worst in us – and the best – and even if we have excluded open world pvp from the rest of the game, this is exactly what happens on the WvW maps: It is the ‘playground’ for strategists and great tacticians, it is the place for coordinated efforts and mean ideas in the middle of the night.
Night capping is one of those valid tactics to score some points in a lasting battle – to get your world the upper hand, or cancel out daytime supremacy by another well coordinated opponent.
As Guild Wars 2 will progress in time, so will world vs. world and core gameplay mechanics. But for now, night capping is one valid possibility to ruin your enemie’s days – pun intended.”
I believe the core part of this post by the Anet rep is disingenuous.
Obviously Anet understands that this is a game and to continue to be a game in which folks participate it cannot be like REAL war.
Anet has coded specific non war features (some anti snowballing) like untakable spawn points, respawn itself, the ability to transfer, the lack of significant technology disparity, resets of the battlefield, and many more.
To pretend anything else is a bit silly and for an Anet rep to make a public comment to that effect is in my opinion short sighted.
While I believe there are some issues that could be looked into, and anti snowballing mechanics that could be implemented to keep matches “interesting” and entice folks to participate, I don’t believe the sky is falling.
If we ignore it however, make disingenuous or inflammatory statements, or stop dialog, based on many past examples we will see a drop off of participation in WvW and that harms the long term viability of player fun, and the game itself.
