So when will the devs fix supply wasting?

#1 - July 18, 2013, 5:59 a.m.

Situation today:
Most of the borderlands taken from us, we are outmanned, 40-15 or so.
We are struggling to defend the garrison against the blob, no supply left.
We own only the top supply camp, I go there and see this (attached screen)

2 trebs, on being deep inside the wooden structure, and a ram (outside of the frame).

Question to the devs:

If you really play WvW as you claim, how can you not have added a small text to each placed siege saying ‘Placed by <player name>’ still, after a year? So that we can make screenshot as report it, since it is clearly against ‘spirit of fair play and competition’?

And before you say that it’s a waste of resources, that’s BS, because you can use an ID number for every player in the game that is a single variable, 4 bytes its more than enough to identify everyone and does not take long to transmit. It’s not like millions of people are inspecting siege every second.

So, we are looking into what we can do to deal with these sorts of problems, but they are very tricky to deal with. The threshold I always have in mind is that any change we make has damage legitimate play less than whatever we are trying to address does. That being said I think we have some interesting ideas for the future, but they are not guaranteed to make it out of testing, because they have to work. I agree that this behavior is frustrating, and we will do as much as we can to try and put a stop to it.
