not saying the rewards should go away, would love to see that system kept as a personal 30 day so we could still get all them juicy rewards based on personal (rather then faction) participation and effort.
but everyone knows that targets, fighting and the like, change based on the scoring.
when first place is just too far gone, everyone kind of ignores that faction. people flip empty keeps and grab undefended scrolls for points.
the pvp this game was based off of and (in theory) improved upon was the three way combat from DaoC. however that game had FAR less emphasis on a campaign scoring system, less and harder to capture keeps, no "emperor" system and the stand in for scrolls were MUCH harder to steal (had more hoops to jump through to get to them and then a server wide announcement went out when you STARTED picking up the scroll and then it took you a couple minutes (3-5 cannot remember off the top of my head) to actually pick it up.
there was a much greater emphasis on actual pvp and battle lines would end up being very wide, similar to some of the large drawn out fights we get in the fields between outposts and keeps. zergs and ball groups would exist but with such wide battle lines and so many people and groups of various sizes you didn't really get the "one blob ult dumps another blob" we get now.
what I would personally love to see
-is the campaign overall score removed and changed to become personal / per character.
-less AP value placed on siege defense / offense ticks and resource capture.
-FAR MORE AP value for kills, kill participation, damage done, damage taken, and healing. (though while I would love to see damage done / taken / healing / etc receive just flat ap gain I realize this would have to be VERY small to avoid people just standing off in the corner *pew* *pew* ing with bows)
more focus on the PvP part of PvP
