As it is....AB's are 3 Random Groups of 4 People; 2 sides; 12 Vs. 12. What confuses me...is why they are called Alliance Battles, if you are with maybe 4 members of your 1000man alliance.
Battles like these Random mobs should be called, Faction Battles; where the Kurzick and Luxon armys meet on the Battle Front and brawl it out.
In my opinion, to orientate as a true, and skill related PvP, as well as a greater use of Alliances, in order to be called an Alliance Battle, it should be...hm....an Alliance? Take the big dogs, owners of Cavalon, and HzH, and let them brawl it out to see who is the most powerful alliance, not just the Alliance who spends the most time FF.
What I'm suggesting is more of a GvG system, only, AvA (Alliance Vs. Alliance).
Get the Picture? It would also make a much broader version of builds and class uses to the hardcore PvP'ers out there, which I am not one of...but I still think this would be awesome.
Post your opinions, confusions, ideas, and etc. for trying to improve the use of Alliances and PvP.
Idea: True Alliance Battle

I was thinking more on the lines of a particular GvG with the capability of bringing in reinforcements when your characters die permanently (for the match)

Alliances are huge, and if 9 guilds, thats 900 members total :X.
