4v4v4 or 6v6 - Proc + CP-Enabled, Group queue only - "Ranked" Battlegrounds mode

Is there any hope for small-scale, competitive, instanced PvP on ESO?

CP-Enabled Battleground group only queue's would allow for a blossoming PvP community for strong new friendships and rivals alike.

- It would provide incentive to progress CP to at least ~700 to fill out your champion ability bar.
- This would allow for a more serious environment for teams to partake and progress in.
- The ranking system would have meaning and provide incentive for teams to compare and contrast their games and gameplay while they climb the ladder.
- There would now be a spot in the world for PvP inspired individuals to test small-scale comradery, strategy, team composition and various builds.
- We could potentially create "Battleground Teams" similarly to how "Guilds" operate, where you can invite X amount of players to the roster in order to queue for ranked PvP games.

How could we get something like this implemented or considered for the long forgotten PvPlayers of Tamriel?

For those worried about imbalance - you can always provide valuable feedback with test results for your newfound balance inquiries, or you could always mirror the competition and adapt to evolve for the current meta until there is change.

    Yes to everything except for CP. CP allows for heinously broken builds, and CP BGs were a horrible experience back when they existed, and would almost certainly be worse now with the power creep. No reason for CP to exist in small group PvP

    I think, sadly, there's a pretty resounding lack of desire by the game creators to overhaul BGs or, much much less, to add alternate ques rankings or ways to play.

    So while I like your idea very much I would prefer if they just tried to make "group duels." Which means there'd probably be no rankings. But it wouldn't splinter the BG community or lengthen que times. And there'd be a certain amount of freedom in getting your own groups together, of any size greater than 1, and finding people to fight or even organizing tournaments.

    You'd initiate the duel the same way you initiate any duel. And to accept the duel all members of both teams basically have to vote yes to a "ready check."

    Yeah great idea, just needs to have no-cp, no procs like imp city or even better it needs to have pre-made sets balanced by zen to make it actually competitive.

    At very least they NEED to add two team BGs, even if no ranked system....

    Yeah, having 3 teams just leads to people avoiding actually fighting players in BGs because outside of Deathmatch that is basically always better if you want to win the game.

    With 2 teams even something like CTR or Domination might be fun for once since that would actually include PvP.

    I want a 10v10 or 15v15 something like AB or WSG from WOW.

    A small time capped 2 sided version of Cyro would also be fun. I know Rift had Conquest that qued every 2 hours or so. WOS had WG that was on a timer que and was packed.
