The Need for Cross-Server Battlegrounds

[kandrathe]

You know, I can't actually think of a (non-implementation) reason why you couldn't have alliance vs. alliance or horde vs. horde in warsong gulch.  Would be a bit earthbindy in the case of horde vs. horde, but it'd solve the problem of having to wait for the other side.

The contribution points system would need a rethink to stop deliberate farming, I suppose, but since the whole thing is completely unbalanced anyway, and since such farming could also be done with cross-faction organisation anyway, I don't see it being too much of an issue.

Like "Training Grounds" where it's Red vs Blue war games. Maybe rather than kills, the result is like a duel victory with a player submitting and then out until the next round. Make it a good practice area for the *real* battlegrounds. I could see that it would also help to encourage players into PvP, and you would need to make the rewards minimal for team victory.
