I think WvW needs some balance and mechanics tweaks more than anything else.
for instance dolyaks are extremely important since the supplies they deliver make a huge difference but there’s almost no mechanical support for defending them; a single player with a decent build can easily ignore defenders and kill the dolyak to counter this you need enough players to stop the attacker before they kill the dolyak which is difficult without immediate quantifiable incentives for defending them and is thrown out the window if a couple more enemies show up.
my proposal in this particular instance is having buff for the dolyaks that scales with allies near it (NPCs too) maybe 25% damage reduction per ally which would force the enemy to engage the defenders instead of simple hit and run although it should be turned of within a certain area around its destination for clutch plays and to reward dedicated raiders.
another example is SMC outer walls being almost useless given the amount of trebs hitting it around the clock meaning the attacking team only has to get through a single door to attack the lords room which is less mechanical defense than a keep.
my proposal for this is worker NPCs who run back and forth to repair the walls not fast enough to ignore treb damage but enough to require coordination with someone to get in through the hole in the wall and kill the workers this means the effectiveness of trebs isn’t diminished but the walls have some actual use besides anti-flip which the lord gets as a buff anyway.
also SMC should have another door it’s a castle not some flimsy keep!
other things that could use tweaks are effectiveness of defenders vs. attackers(travel time, scoring, running through enemy zerg to defend), targeting in regards to walls, mercenary camps, NPC functionality, and outpost upgrade versatility but as all i have for these is wild ideas with no real knowledge of how things would react with what’s in place or general game balance and in the pursuit of brevity i won’t go into detail.
