Realm tasks and their effect on the battlegrounds

Food for the thought...
One thing that has been lingering in my head is the fact that a lot of low level players (tagged grey) run around in the frontier zone in order to obtain realm points which is fine with me. But taking a look at the battlegrounds (Thidranki, Abermenai, Caledonia), I see a development that creates an inconsistency in game dynamics.

It is great that everyone can obtain realm points - no matter the level or constellation that they are in. It simply is a pity that - due to the realm tasks - a lot of players tend to prefer the quick solution by engaging in the frontier zone, instead of porting to the battle grounds.

I would find it more suitable to restrict the realm tasks to the ones who are NOT tagged grey for a lvl 50 player. That way, people would go back to frequenting the battle grounds (Thidranki, Abermenai, Caledonia) causing more action in those. I hardly ever see real action in the battle grounds.

After all, one of the reasons why battlegrounds were established were that people not only get accustomed to PvM but also RvR. It is a good training camp for your character, learning how to react to the different adversaries that you may face in the frontier zones. So once you hit lvl 50, you do have a bit of experience on how to handle your character best in RvR.

I would much appreciate you considering this - especially knowing that there are at least some players that seem to agree with my thought on this.

P. S.: I had posted this in another discussion, but it seems to be more suitable to be shared here.

I’d like to see the Battlegrounds more populated as well but I like that the Phoenix staff is presently focused on endgame RvR. One of the agreements I had with another posters suggestion is putting some type of task system in place for Battlegrounds. For example you could have a PvE Battleground kill task implemented, place more highly sought after mob types in the Battlegrounds, and maybe even increase rewards for central keep takes there (or bonus for having CK there- like 5% XP/RP gain or something in the Battleground when holding the CK). It may also be worth exploring adding a BG for 35-39 level as well- that way players can have the option of leveling through RvR/PvE in the BG from 20-40 levels- while the levels we’d like to see lots of players in the PvE zones (1-20, 40-50) will still be well populated for players seeking PvE leveling groups.

However this could be implemented down the road. Endgame RvR should be the focal point right now. They’ve been taking great steps towards that.
