Build Load-Out Swaps Are Deleting Our WVW Item Traps

[Every day pon.5386]

^ This is bad because integral WVW items such as Target Painter & Supply Removal Traps cannot be fluidly used with build swap demands & further prevents players from purchasing & using effective siege

IDK if this bug began when Superboons were cut from build swapping, but this bug is not good for WvW with Builds

[Custodio.6134]

it´s not a bug tho. 

It is an intentional change ANet made a while ago, called "Skill cleanup".

Profession Skills

General

To improve the stability of the game, performing any of the following actions will "reset" your status, removing ongoing skill effects such as damaging area effects, traps, preparations, missiles, and many boons and profession-specific enhancements.

This process will clean up many possible broken states in which a skill effect could be present when it should not have been. Some of these states caused duplication of performance-intensive skills such as traps, which degraded server performance for everyone.

The actions that trigger this skill cleanup include the following:

Swapping your Build Template

Swapping your Equipment Template

Changing specialization

Changing traits

Changing items equipped in a weapon slot via the Hero panel

Respawning after being defeated

 

(note: Build Template is badly worded, since it is only applied when a template-swap also changes traits. it won´t apply to templates that use the same traits)
