Suggestion for PvP related zones

I dont know the logistics of this is even a remote possibility but if there was a way, they should have one server that all Console goes to for PvP (IC and Cyrodiil)

So basically if anyone playing on PSNA, PSEU, XBNA, XBEU queues for IC or Cyrodiil, they all go into one server to play against each other
The amount of users that visit these areas are small enough (no real stats and guessing since I rarely see more than a handful of players on at any given time) that even if users from all 4 current servers joined in these 2 PvP areas, it still may not hit max capacity in all campaigns BUT there would be more players in each campaign to make it a real 3 alliance war. Could even change the amount of campaigns.

I would assume it would take a new server dedicated just to PvP. It would give more population and maybe even give a challenge to those who normally play on a daily basis.
Being on it's own server might even help with lag, make Mayhem smoother and might be easier to make adjustments/enhancements/updates?

BTW - this is not about combining all 4 servers for everything. Just for PvP.

Based on the limitations of the Engine I'm fairly confident this isn't possible on a technical level.

They would also have to fix the performance issues before they could even consider this. Adding this many people to the mix would be rough for the servers. Not to mention the queue is already 60+ for some factions on the weekend it would now be in the hundreds if they did this.

Again, not even possible on a technical level. This kind of goes hand in hand with the cross-play stuff people keep asking for that they have said won't happen.

I’ve imagined something akin to an opt-in bounty-hunter auto-duel system.

Plays can opt into this feature, and have another players name drawn from a pool of other players that have opted in.

One player gets information on the location of another player, added to their map. After a minute, the other player receives information of where the other player is. Once both have loaded into a zone, they’re flagged with combat with one another.

This combat state persists until death, or a player disconnects/dies.

I don’t know how this would interact with how zones seem to be loaded into shards based on story progression, but I’d assume this would break.

It would obviously be trolled by players in groups healing one person over another.

All in all probably not feasible.
