PVP Battleground Request

Since the "PVP Arena Request" post is getting positive responses I thought we should have a Battleground one as well.
So ESO already has AVA covered for the RVR fans. Covered meaning available, as it's going to receive ongoing tweaking I'm sure for improvement.
Arenas would also be fun and would offer variety and appeal to the PVP players that like arena formats.
Then there are Small Scale Objective based Battlegrounds.
A lot of players like myself would enjoy all 3 aspects of PVP - Battlegrounds, Arenas, and AVA/RVR. Then there are folks that would just enjoy one of the above, and not care to participate in the other 2 often.
My point is that Variety in an MMO is a good thing. Why pigeon hole the pvp into only one category. If folks don't like Arenas, they do not have to queue for them. If folks don't like battlegrounds, they don't have to queue for them. If folks don't care much for RVR, then they can get their pvp fix from one of the other two options.
In my experience (and my opinion) small scale, objective based battlegrounds are the most fun PVP to be had. Though I don't care a lot for the online MMORPG SWTOR - youtube "Swtor Huttball" and take a look. Awesome concept for a battleground, and the team that actually works together wins. You see that's what I love about small scale pvp in both Arenas and Battlegrounds, the "working together for victory" concept. Also, you can really feel you made a difference in the match if you play well in smaller scale pvp.
Don't get me wrong, you can find small scale pvp in RVR/AVA, but you have to go searching for it. You can also feel you really made a difference in those smaller AVA battles if you are lucky enough to engage in those. But all in all anytime I do AVA in MMO's, I just feel like part of a huge zerg in a feeding frenzy. Though that can be a rush, I still crave those awesome objective based battlegrounds or arenas for a different style of "PvP Fix".
Again Variety is great in MMO's. It combats boredom. It brings in new players, and helps retain the current player base.
I know there will be folks that say "if you want battlegrounds or arena, you are in the wrong game", but isn't that selfish? If you don't like either of those options just don't participate. AVA/RVR will still be going strong.

I didn't think my hangover was that bad this morning until I spent 10 minutes trying to log into my old Etch-A-Sketch

SBR_QuorTek✭✭✭I support the system as it are now for the current being and I would support the developers in keeping it like that and building on to it, I am personally not into another cloned PvP mode.
IF ending getting into having an Arena/battleground option, I highly suggest not allowing premade groups for it either, it would severe turn the fire on if so, would be better that you just put your hand into the bag and randomly get a complete random group to do the stuff with... might sound weird... but it would semi terminate groups that just roll over everything as it is, you guys would get the point if having a little bit of insight into things.
Keep the fixed group stuff to where it actually count more, the conquest of Cyrodiil.1 -
Wish they would implement BGs just so that I could do some pvp when I didn't have to time to deal with the zergs...1 -
frwinters_ESO✭✭✭✭No. Devs already said no. Need to concentrate and balance Cyrodil first. already been said. Im sure the devs have read these requests a billion times now.0
