New BG maps, mods and rewards - is AWESOME. But i see here two problems:
1st - BG outfits is too easy to farm, and also, not give a reason by it's visual to buy it. To take more people in BG, for instance, i could make something like heavy armor set, or costume, with a glowing parts, and this parts is can be painted. Like at "Hollowjack style". And some of useful consumables items, that will be needed in PvE also, for cost 10k-50k ap each
2nd - Removing old BG's and Stormlords team is feels, like we, players, had nothing from this, because BG's is CHANGED, but not ADDED. So, it could be nice, to change some teams in 4v4 and 8v8 to "Stormlords", and return also 4v4v4, but in the same quene, as 4v4, or 8v8, because, in different quenes - concentration of players can be lower. Or even, make a special rewards, for 4v4, 8v8, and 4v4v4. Old BGs was a TITANIC work, and i REALLY hope, that you will not drop it in trash bucket, like this
