Agreed. I'd very much like a competitive PvP system that's akin to arenas in WoW (or at least how they used to be, before I quit playing back in 2009/2010 - not sure if they've changed since then).

'Course, there are population issues to take into account; as long as the rewards in Cyrodiil are so much better, and BGs are stuck behind a $40 paywall, it may be hard to get a healthy population going for the small group stuff.

Would be a good addition.

-Simple leaderboards based on points gained per win.

-Prioritize matches vs other groups with similar points and create a ranked system based off of that.

-prioritize but allow any match to be made. If the number 1 team was q’d for bg’s and faced off against a #20 team they would receive less points for the win. This would allow players to continue finding bg matches regardless of rank and population size.

Provide some sort of indication for teams active in bg so top 5 teams could see if each other were on to snipe matches (low priority feature)

Unique skin/Mount/title as season reward

Good thinking. I like your ideas

I would be so hype if they just even added the MMR system like WoW had. If we could get season based mounts and additional formats for team sizes and better rewards I would dump more money in this game ha.

If ZOS let players choose which Battlegrounds Modes to play, it'd quickly become obvious which format players preferred. But then ZOS couldn't continue to milk Battlegrounds with new gameplay modes.

Bingo. i was hoping to get this in ESO but instead they brought random battlegrounds from WoW into eso.

With how customizable characters are in this game and how interesting the combat is, arena would have been an amazing addition to this game. 4v4 arena deathmatch with MMR, rankings, rewards, and ladders. Also, you could add the same thing wow had where healing was reduced and players took more damage as the game went on to prevent teams of 4 healers and/or 4 tanks from winning

The original draw to bgs was just instant combat without the horse simulator of Cyrodiil. but their implementation was just.. not so good.

What a great mechanic. Very smart!

These are nothing like WoW battlegrounds. For one BGs were based on faction, where you started. Two they were massive in scale compared to eso bgs, 40v40 anyone?

Eso BG are more akin to large arenas with three way fights and two extra players each team. Maybe a weird hybrid.

I would rather WoW style Bgs AND WoW style arenas. Not this weird in between

I'd like to see the current format, with matchmaking weighted for:

50% DM / 50% everything else.

Not:

50% Chaos ball / 50% everything else, like I've been getting all week...
