BWB for vr1-14

An AW area for lvl10-50, one for vr1-14, one (or 2 or 3) for vr15-16

It just seems like such an obvious idea to me, is it a bad idea? And why?

    Actually no it isn't a bad idea. When I'm in vet on my vet5 sorc I feel like nothing more than a meatshield because of my HP pool and crap damage and a distraction to other players while the VET14-16's take them down.

    It would be more sensible to drop level/VR progression altogether and be done with it, instead of having it and then fixing it with battle levelling and tiers of campaigns.

    We don't really have the population needed to segregate the players even more as it is, so I'd highly doubt something like this will ever been implemented. We need to condense the population into fewer campaigns, not open another few campaigns that will inevitably turn into more buff servers.

    Blackwater Blade serves it's purpose as a tutorial of sorts for newer players to get their feet wet in Cyrodiil, but there shouldn't be arbitrary barriers placed on Veteran players. Realm pride (Something that is already very lacking) will be further hindered any introduction of more barriers. Players shouldn't be hindered from aiding their alliance, just because they don't have the required VR/CP for that bracket.

    Just imagine this in /z:
    Azura's Star Player: Guys, we need help on Azura. We are getting pushed back to our gates, we need help pushing them back.
    Player A: Sorry dude, I'm not VR16. I can't enter there
    Azura's Star Player: Anyone here? We really need help!
    Player B: I would go and help, but I don't have the 300 CP needed.
    *30 minutes later*
    Azura's Star Player: Why isn't anyone coming? We really need help!

    Is this something we really want to see?

    This one hails from far Singapore, excuse this one for his high pings. He also apologizes for any formatting/spelling errors, as he tends to answer using a mobile device.

    Insanity is the price of Knowledge. Herma-Mora and Sheogorath, this one bows before thee.

    This one does not advocate for any class to be nerfed. There are far deeper underlying issues then a simple "Class Imbalance". The Champion System is the problem. Not classes.

    Please read this before creating yet another nerf thread.

    Good point, and I thought there might be a good reason against it. It just felt like an easy way to get around all that battle level vs max level stuff.

    Whilst it may seem good on paper for this to happen with the population cap debate, it won't actually solve anything. The issue there lies with people needing to focus on spreading out.

    As Dean says, thePVP population is fragile enough already.

    Regarding the changes to Battle Leveling in general, I'd be interested to see the possibilities on that note in vet campaigns before petitioning for a v1-14 server.

    On a performance note, BWB has always been fantastic. But this is down to several well discussed factors, most of them, if not all, would not apply to a campaign such as this.

    As I'm leveling a sorc on the side, and pvp'ing on it when I can, I can be romantic about this idea. But with the PVP community population, we need to be focusing on creating competitive atmospheres that are playable, and not segregating us further because of semantics.

    I've seen VR1's in BWB before. Is that the max level for it?

    Nah they probably hit VR1 while they were in there. When they leave they won't be allowed re-enter.
