And you realize that destroying is far more quick than having a bunch of people stand there right? The destroyed workshop comes back with full health and on your side within about 10 seconds of it being destroyed, which with a couple seige enginers (not the catapults) takes like 15 to 20 seconds compared to 30+ seconds of having a large number of people standing around doing nothing effectively.
Which I'm sure is an adequate solution for all those realms that are close to a 1 to 1 population. Those realms, like Terenas which I play on, where one side is permenantly operating with a 3+ stack of Tenacity diverting the siege resources to do this is pointless. It's an exploit that tips the scales even more towards the side who already has the advantage. If Ally wanted to on Terenas they could dedicate 20 players to just fly in before the battle and camp five people on top of each workshop and often still have 75+ players to sit in the courtyard. A month or two ago when there were a bunch of snow days they did this multiple times a day and it's not too rare that you see at least one group doing this even when there are not population descrepencies like that. I could care less if some players want to camp up there and harrass the other team but the fact that they can do so and capture a workshop without legitimately fighting for it is borked and the greater the disparity in player base the worse and more exploitative it is.
