Here's one for ya'! I think Blizz should set up several tower defense type PVP Battlegrounds where unlike normal PVP BG's, players from different servers of the same faction would enter the BG and start off in a keep where they would face several waves of NPC mobs which would reward honor with bonus honor for healing and kills. The BG would have a timer, say 45 mins, and a certain number/level of waves based upon the number of players in the BG at that time. That would absolutely rock IMO. Just a thought. It would be structured for players within 10 lvls of each other like the current BG system, so you wouldn't have 20's with 70's more like 40's with 50's and so on. The whole concept makes me drool with anticipation. I hope someone from Blizz reads this and pursues the notion..lol.

That's a cool idea, but it's not exactly player verse player.. it's more like a group pve instance event. Even if it rewarded gold or something. Or it could be another daily pve quest. Either way, sounds fun.

True, I guess it wouldn't be PVP, my mind just always associates battlegrounds with PVP, my mistake. I does sound pretty intriguing though, doesn't it? The whole thought of garrisoning inside a keep and looking over the ramparts at a huge mob coming at you just sounds awesome to me! It would be like the battle of Helm's Deep in LOTR! Imagine putting all your tankers down by the gate as the mob crashes through with DPS casters manning the towers alongside hunters whizzing arrows and stings while priesties and shammies run around like mad cats buffing and healing! Let's start a formal petition to Blizzard and get the ball rolling lol!

I know me too! There arent enough in game occurrences like this. I love getting bull rushed by an overwhelming number of mobs at once (as long as I have friends by my side). From Blizzard's standpoint, the AI logic involved with programming a battleground like we are speaking of would probably require a lot of effort and resources for development and upkeep.

I have a slight background in computer programming and software engineering. I am a tool designer/mechanical engineer in my real, non WOW life. I know you didn't ask for all that, but you got it.

PS, You need a toon on my server so we can stomp around together. We share a lot of similarities in opinion and thought.
