I brought this up in beta but obviously it was never added. Here is another attempt to bring attention to it...
I think Pheonix should think about adding a bunch of new battlegrounds in the 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, etc. Add these all the way to 39 or 49 and then fill them with mobs that give you the best xp available.
Why?
From lvl 1 this would encourage people to jump into RvR as it would obviously be the best place to lvl and it would give you RvR action as all the realms competed for them. If people want they could level exclusively in BG's all the way to 50 which would let every realm learn and level with each other, give them all a chance to love and hate each other.
Right now you have stagnant play with every realm basically focusing on having the perfect PvE leveling group just doing mind numbing pulls for hours on end. People get bored quick and some will even quit thinking this is all it is.
By creating BG's with better xp rate you will encourage more groups based on RvR play and not just bomb groups or just shroom groups. You will encourage more solo play as stealthers try to pick off single targets in the back of the group and try to get away. Now suddenly people want a few tanks to help casters, now suddenly a mentalist might spec light for leveling and solo a bit.
The focus of the game is to encourage people to enjoy RvR and get them to engage in it more correct? Let them get a taste of it while leveling and get them hooked. Let them get a few kills and feel the thrill and see the RP's come in and start buying a few cool new RA's.
Maybe have a few king of the hill competitions in different BG's or something. Have a mini relic of some sort that doesn't give any special power bonus, but gives maybe an xp bonus for either taking or defending. Something!
Right now all three realms have the same issues with power leveling groups only inviting the optimal classes and lots of other classes picking up the scraps.
Lets help everyone get more involved and have more fun!!
