One of the most important things you can do if you're a lookout (or 'eyes') while staying in a Tower, Keep or Citadel for your server is to refresh the siege weapons built there. Do this even if you're just passing through!
Do this by routinely running to each Trebuchet, Ballista, Catapult, Alpha/Omega Golem, or Arrow Cart and interacting with it (using it) and then simply stop using it. Each siege weapon has a timer of 60 minutes before it decays, at which time all the supply and strategic value of it vanishes. By doing this you have saved our team's siege weapons from decaying. You don't have to actually fire the weapon.
Cannons, Mortars, and Burning Oil Pots are exempt as they are structural upgrades, and do not decay.
To see the decay timer on a particular siege item simply left click it so it's bar is your target, and hover over the blue castle icon.
Happy WvWvW'ing!
