AOE limit 5 targets favours zerging

So i was wondering why do we have this aoe limit ? for example if 3 brave people trying to hold on against 30 ppl zerg whats wrong if they nuke many dumb people that just standing at the gate and auto attacking and not being aware or thinking at all (some may be even afk) ? those 3 people are already outnumbered + down state + 5 target limit ( that can be mesmer with 3 clones + ranger pet) what kind of philosophy is this, already we have a crappy down state mechanic that favor team with higher number of players.

Only thing that makes fun for me is killing a skilled player or killing many noobs. Arena net is promoting zerging and not small tactical battles, where small, well, prepared, organized group can wipe entire zerg. Maybe you will say it is possible to wipe zerg with small group, but aoe limit and down state is making this extremely hard and game mechanics should favor small organized group and not zerg.

But i guess Anet will not remove down state, but please consider removing aoe limit at least.
Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

The AoE limit is due to technical limitations.
