Alliance Battles for Alliances

Why not have alliance battles where 3 teams from 2 alliances of different faction (luxon/kurz) battle each other?
Essentially AB with actual alliances.

The AB that we have now would not change, but rather a seperate, organized AB will be available just like GvG battles are, except it might be a bunch of members from several guilds of one alliance, or 12 members from one guild in the alliance.
There could be an observer mode/ladder/etc.
Leechers wouldn't be an issue.
No more "4-4-4" "capcapcap" "1vs1 n00b". ( At least for the organized ABs anyway ^.^ )

It would be great to play AB against an organized or even semi-organized team rather than ally/battle with wammos using mending and frenzy wanting to 1vs1 everybody they lose to.



To counter the fact that people could and would abuse this, a faction cap could be introduced similar to Zaishen Arenas.

If people want to play casual AB and fight each other, go to Aspenwood so that those of us who are serious about AB and actually try to cap can play without other people causing loss through things like fighting the Luxon Mob instead of capping.

... then whine about getting "gang-banged".

i thought this was alliance battles when they first announced them

This certainly would add an interesting twist to AB.

/signed would be one of the best pvp modes in the game. If a ladder type thing were added that would make it even better.

/signed AB is getting just pointless

/signed , as my guild there are not many PVP'ers, but as for myself i do enjoy doing some. it would be awesome to be able to team up with some of alliance friends, who also like to pvp and do a "guild" type battle.

Would be hard to get 12 to play, and the waiting time for matches would be too long. Even if your alliance was always ready, how many others would be?

And it'd probably suck. As much as it was fun initially to try this, the recipe for AB success is cappers that can solo stands, and other guys to run around spiking them out. Assassins and E/A cappers, yay!

./signed, they might as well add AT's for this as well and take it away from HB. I mean come on..HB over TA and competitive 12vs12?

ffs

The wait time will be horrible for higher ranked alliance, even worse than GvGs. So implement the alliance join idea, but not a ranking system.

Why not? Seems a good idea to me.
