How to tell which realm is winning the task?

One of the worst changes outside the porting to flags (which should be keeps instead) in the new task system vs. the old is the sheer inundation of objectives and how it's impossible to tell which realm is winning the task and if there's even a point to winning it anymore. Back in the old system , which had one clearly defined objective, you would see people try hard in the last minutes of domination or kill enemies to get the win and therefore the bonus rps. RIght now it doesn't feel like you can really make an impact , let alone know which side is really even winning. Is this something the staff is comfortable with? It just seems like go out, do literally anything and get welfare rps instead of being an actual task with objectives that matter.

Agreed. There should be more detail on the scoreboard.

Made another post on the exact same topic. No reply from the staff, I think there is a lot of focus on the tasks and the displays.
If they did not reply, it must be that they are simply thinking about it and have not found the answer yet.

No realm 'WINS' the tasks. We all receive our participation RP bonus no matter which realm does better.

that's a pretty boring system then, used to be exciting

Since the most recent change to allow participation credit in all frontier zones, I do find the task window to be pretty cluttered. Adding the extra description text, and the tracking for the turn-ins has made it harder to single out the different bits of information. Since all the text is white, that contributes to the problem. I'd love to see that window get re-organized and optimized so we can see the situation at a glance and react accordingly.

Having each hour's wins tracked on the Herald would be nice. Some way to see who's been winning, to help give people goals. I know it's more about the participation, but I get that there are those who care about the W/L, and more incentives can be a good thing.
