But I am sure Blizzard is already aware of the possibilities, pros/cons, and technical hurdles related to linked battlegrounds. I'm sure they get thousands of emails and posts and tickets about this every day. I have no doubt that they have considered this and have already done a cost/benefit analysis, and have placed it in the appropriate place in their "todo" queue.
I hope your letter is successful in getting attention and support, but I don't know if it (by itself) will have any more effect than the hundreds of other petition threads.
Surprisingly, a lot of people don't know about the idea. I've talked with a lots of people about it when complaining about battleground queues, and for many that was the first time they'd ever heard the idea mentioned. What I'm hoping to do is to raise the voices clammering for this a little louder. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some people at Blizzard who want this very badly but were turned down due to as you say cost/benefit analysis. My hope is that my letter combined with clammering from other people will give those at Blizzard who want this more ammunition to use. i.e. I want to convince those with the power to approve projects to increase their view of the benefit of cross-server battlegrouds so that hopefully it's enough to justify the costs.
