You raid an enemy town, you damage the walls, the buildings, you destroy a bridge. You need to build a massive bridge that takes server wide coordination to do to get to new content....

No seriously, that does sound cool, but the details you have to work out for all that not to break are insane. When you add massive amounts of people into the mix, who knows what is going to happen. I bet the game designers did not anticipate what a massive cluster *^& Hillsbrad would become.
I have some ideas for a more engaging world too. I might have already said them, so I'll be brief.
Have the guard towers actually do something. E.g., the horde ones between the Barrens and Ashenvale. If they are in good repair, then there is a penalty for the alliance, some thing like a 50% chance that alliance griffions flying between Auberdine and Theramore will be shot down, and the poor NE has to leg it the rest of the way through the barrens.
Also, have more factions and have it mean something. Tauren and goblins shouldn't get along, especially Tauren Druids. Druids should be locked out of nearly all goblin quests, but if an orc helps Ratchet too much, getting them saw blades and shredder plans and shredder manuals, they can become persona non grata in TB.
