"Free For All" Game mode in BGs?

Abstraqt

Can we have some sort of FFA game mode, 12 people, first to 30 kills or something?

The main issue I forsee would be sorcs and nightblades coming in at the last second and stealing kills but I really do believe Bgs are missing something like this.

Also would be great if the map was the size of cyrodiil and gradually shrinks to the size of an IC district.

Everyone spawns in by jumping out of a blimp with no gear, and has to be crafted as the match goes on.

I think the idea is cool, but it would likely turn out to just be a giant cluster of players spamming AOE in the hopes of getting killing blows. Also there would be absolutely no point in having any kind of support build for this game type.

I think to tackle that the map would have to be bigger and the kills would have to scale on damage done not just whoever got the last hit, perhaps it shouldn't just be a race to X amount of kills it should be the first to get X amount of points, you get 5 points for an assist, 7 points for a killing blow etc.

As for the support builds...meh there's things like maelstrom where they aren't useful so I'm sure they'll deal with it, and with the changes to the bg queues they just make sure they queue for a game mode which can utilise them.

I'd argue that support builds aren't needed in bgs at all, all of the game modes are tailored around getting kills anyway

ESO battle royale would be so bad
