I predicted this situation as soon as it was confirmed that you would be able to get your guild in reliably into EOTM.
It was pretty obvious to us here that this matchup would turn into a 1v1 with JQ vs BG. Howeve what many did not realize, was that JQ and BG still have big coverage gaps vs each other.
Without SOR in the mix, these gaps have been greatly amplified. Naturally, a percentage of the side during the heavily outmanned coverage period will also go to EOTM.
I predict an indefinite 1v1, and forced karma trains being the standard now most of the time in tier 1 as those wanting any action or not be blobbed to death will go to EOTM. While those still fighting for ppt will have too much ground to cover and too many easy objectives to cap ( they will go for undefended keeps to get their easy ppt).
Im also fairly certain, that EOTM will be the end of wvw ( Ive been saying this for months when EOTM and its mechanic were even first announced). This was mostly do to anets neglect and lack of action for the original wvw. There are simply to many positives to EOTM for regular wvw to overcome. Granted there are a ton of issues with EOTM as well, but hopefully this time Anet will address them faster.
Have fun! And hope Anet actually listens to player feedback this time for EOTM.
