I was actually ok with battle of Gilneas because it did reduce the points, and have the giant river cutting through it, which for a druid made an excellent place to use water form to ambush people lol, ah glyph of makes water faster then ground mounts, how i loved you...
I was also ok with SotA and IoC, but i do feel they focused to much on killing npcs with no way of actual PVP going on... like IoC had ~5 minutes of pvp at the beginning when everyone zerged mid, maybe a little at the docks, then the rest was kill gates/siege engines/run bombs. I really hope that WvW really takes the siege engine aspect and the actual pvp aspect in a nice sexy mix of awesome, i have faith you Anet don't fail me now!!
