Like how Poland started WW2 by simply existing next to Germany.

Control when and where they are attacking: e.g. attack an objective when they know the defender is engaged elsewhere and there are few defenders around Kill siege from a distance with ballies and trebs Tap keep to keep defenders from arriving too quickly

What? There's a fight because the attackers decided to attack, which they're most likely to do when they feel like they have an advantage. Defenders don't get to choose where the attack happens or who and how many people they have to defend.

Every time wvw defense is an AA weekly I'm going to start a new bug thread. I've gotten kills defending towers and keeps at least 4 times today and ZERO credit. I killed an attacker WITH THE GUARDS at a keep gate. No credit. I'm on an AC on a tower wall watching my participation refresh every kill I get, no credit.

As it has been for months and months, defense credit works poorly and inconsistently. I get about 50% or less of defender credit when I'm actively getting kills in defense of wvw objectives. Also I don't care if it "works for me man". See also:

Anyone find a resolution? I'm seeing the same thing now with the season 3 bundle.

Since reset Tarnished Coast / Anvil Rock (blue) have been both outnumbered and queued, which shouldn't be possible. Best effort counting is that we have around 35-40 on map and 20+ queue after 40 minutes post-reset. It looks like green and red have many more people so feels like we actually are outnumbered but something is preventing our players from entering the map.

Same

I ran through the lab with a few different accounts and killing Steve and other lab bosses didn't always count for the AA weekly. Sometimes it did, but not sure why it isn't consistent.

So many replies that are JUST do x where x is "create a group of 7-15", "capture and defend SMC for an hour", or "move servers", "don't do wvw dailies/weeklies". All are magical thinking and only avoid the issue is that defense credit is still broken.

To be honest, I know they are broken, when and how they broke but I'm still going to bring it up because it's frustrating that they make dailies, weeklies and AA weeklies out of a broken mechanic.

Can you explain what you mean? I have noticed some correlation from dying, being down or being out range when the timer goes off and not getting credit. That said in this case, I was definitely in SMC, getting kills, not dying and not leaving the area through the entire timer.

I'm in a 3-way fight in SMC. I've gotten 45 kills (watching the weekly achievement), many right on top of the lord and after 7 defense timers, I've gotten defense credit twice. Update: After 10 cycles, got credit 3 times. Can't track kills anymore because I've already hit 50 for the weekly.

Oh wait you say, it's 10 for the weekly and not 30. Well practically speaking it is 30 because I have a 33% chance of getting credit. I'm defending SMC in a 3-way fight, getting kills on the lord and after 7 defense timers, I got credit twice. This is ridiculous.
