Why is outmanned not giving stat bonuses?

To compensate for the lack of players in wvw, why are teams with less players not more heavier/bruisers

because its not fun to want to play wvw but you’re against a stacked server, so there’s a zerg of 100 of them and only like 7 of you on the entire map.

The main reason is simply that at the point that outmanned does that, it encourages servers to have fewer players on to take advantage of the stat boost. That, in turn, will cause people to yell at other players for logging on and taking away the buff.
