I enjoyed pre WR because you manage to build up an community and push some low pop server up to mid bronze and that was more then enough reward for us to see the server grow and activity come back. I remember we went form 5 ppl squad to 50+ squad. I think with some weeklies for wvw and bonus events you will get activity in wvw most pve people said they did not want to join wvw because they are scared but at the end loved it and stayed for ever. I think most people see wvw like private squads for strikes etc lots of elitist but if i wanna compare wvw with strikes is a public event wheir you can join and leave any time.
