Maybe players of other games are used to no down stateS, but without down states, this is a not GW 2 me. Thank you for letting me take another time off from the game.

Yes. More e joyable. A good job for the balance team! Way to go.

I am sorry to disagree with you. The reward system is well intended to create a fair experience for all and you are not understanding it. Contesting and stalling slows progress of the attacking side and making the game less rewarding for them and your small group defenders of 10 could easily group together and go offense to capture some undefined objects.As you mentioned, dropping supplies and escorting for roamers are rewarded, roaming is not punished. If a roamer tried to stall a group of 30 attackers of another server from capturing, the roamer is creating a less rewarding experience for maybe 25 of those players assuming the other 5 tagged the roamer and got a bag or something.The message is clear. Stalling offense makes the game less rewarding as a result defenders are equally less rewarded to create a fair system.This is very fair and not a bug.Players could say this makes the game more like a PVE game, rewarding contactless playing style and this only true if you are only interested in maximizing rewards. If you found it is fun to contest and stall, you can still do it but because your delays others from receiving their rewards, your rewards are stalled, just to be fair.

But did you have everything in eotm too? I am not sure if Green owned everything in ETOM @ the same moment on that day. But Green could have done that because even the name “Overgrowth” for Green @ ETOM implies Anet might be expecting a larger population for the Green. To balance the population in ETOM, maps are designed to give 3 sides slightly different strength. Green (overgrowth) has better scouting buffs. Blue (Frostreach) has better defenses. Red (Badlands) has faster and better offenses. Etom is my favorite map because I do not plan to spend a lot of time in this game. I do not value anything the game anything of of real importance. But if it could provide a fun experience once a while I would play it. There were WvW players @ that time would spend hours and hours in the game and I did that for a while too and I realized that it would not be sustainable because sooner or later real life needs for physical, mental, relational, financial and other forms of well being would put a limit on time spend in any games. Anet was confused about the directions of the game as well. It designed ETOM for beginning players and casual players while preparing for “Heart of Thorns”. After playing HOT for a while, it became obvious to many players that Anet was pushing and demanding more time and involvement with a complex and expansive guild upgrade system. It might have been a game industry fad at the time of HOT because there were complex games came out in China as well and these Chinese games did not do well either. Players ran away after they realized how resource demanding ( time and money) the new games were. Successful game like “Fortnite” (https://www.polygon.com/2019/11/14/20965516/fortnite-battle-royale-most-important-game-2010s) is very much like what was envisioned in Anet founder MO’s manifest, causal and just for fun. Maybe that was a MO idea with a Tencent Excution and maybe MO realized this that left to make games he originally envisioned. https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/ma_huateng_662578

There were lot of time and energy spent in WvW for these green dominance. But what are the rewards? Players left and found more rewarding activities outside WvW. Novelty brought along excitement and naivety; overexposure led to boredom and wisdom.
