The new borderlands are not conducive to fluid open field combat and consistent engages with enemy player groups. The size does not support mid tier servers and generally supports defensive gameplay as opposed to combat.

The new maps would be great for PvE, but they are horrible for WvW. Please bring back my Alpine BL where it takes me as long to run around the whole map as it does to get around Air Keep. There are so many issues that it would take much more space than this small box.

Please bring back the alpine map. With decreasing server populations the new servers are empty, pointless, and daunting to new players.

GW2 WvW kept me busy for 2 years. Unfortunately the HoT changes are killing server communities. Reintroducing the Alpine Borderlands would introduce some variety and reinvigorate the server communities. It would also prove that you (ArenaNet) do listen to the community.

The smaller more navigable size meant more fights with enemy players and less wandering. Also the lack of barricades promoted roaming.

Agreed, I find myself on EBG more than the BLs as of late. The new desert BL maps are too big and the terrain is hard to traverse. There's too much meaningless space between objectives, and the oasis event is usually dreaded. Some even hop maps when they see the countdown to the event's start.
