Underwhelming Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds was something a lot of PvPers wanted for a long time, and we finally got them, but they aren't at all what I was hoping for. My fault, I guess, for hoping that we'd get more than a hacked together extension of the PvE dungeon group finder with zero customization options.
No ability to enable/disable CP. No way to set up custom matches (8v8, 12v12, 8v12, etc) removed from any leaderboard or rewards system. Players have been creating their own battlegrounds in Cyrodiil for awhile, and it's just sad that ZOS invested so little in this.

✭Group Queue needs fixing. Also, CTF and DOM could stand some minor rule adjustments. Lastly, balance, as always, could be improved.
Other than the above however, I'd say they've launched it with all the essential ingredients for a successful arena game mode. Having an expectation of custom games is just wishful thinking. And filtering players by CP/nonCP, will just fracture the matchmaking pool and lead to longer matchmaking periods.
In terms of investment, ZOS is trying to fix group queues (fingers crossed), and they are launching a new map and game mode soon. So while I expect some improvements, I am happy with what has launched thus far.

It is wishful thinking...which is why I wished for it. I wouldn't want to add any extra filters to ZOS's Group Finder 2.0, but I was hoping for some way to set up battles in Battlegrounds, not just queue into them.1 -
Putinof✭✭Being killed in a single stun is the most fun i had in a long time. Thank you zos for proving me this game isnt worth a subscription.2 -

✭✭✭I'd like to see more CP and/or gold rewarded. Obviously the queue needs fixing. Poisons need to go for non-CP. Allow a CP queue.
This all would be a good start.0
