You almost baited us with the "balance" update ;). However I have a suggestions to make WvW alive since it's bleeding people everyday who will never play this game again. Add more veteran harpies, scales, and other mobs. This may bring more PvE'ers to WvW and also give an impression that there is something going on. Popping orange swords killing a harpy may seem good. Since PvE and open world is the true endgame anyways, why not just make wvw into a pve map? Add more Karma to killing keep lords. Maybe add two or three more keep lords? Maybe giving them raid skills may turn up the difficulty a notch.
