BG Quest, anyone?

[The Legendary Joe]

How about, if not enough people show up for KVM, all the people who registered are matched up against an equal number of random warzone Player mobs.

given the PVM aspect of the gears, I would also favor alternate methods of acquiring BG points. Dice is boring, but I lack the right attitude to handle PVP well. If My character is dying constantly to the same person(s), I get self esteem issues. Part of it comes from the fact that some classes handle other classes better than others. Watch that Smith. Buff Buff Buff Buff buff. Watch smith win vrs a lot of classes. Here comes Prof. Web Dispell Win.

Maybe a way to trade skulls from PVP for BG points? Watch the novices with their trick dead and poring pets looot like pros!

Or maybe @duel could reward points if done in interesting locations. the wierder, or more dangerous or epic, the better. Fun Fact: If you're in @duel, you cannot hit monsters! Even with AoE spells, but they can hit you!

A lot of the time, BG interferes with the other things I could be doing to better my chars like farming and farming, also farming. Did I mention farming? I'm in the middle of a card hunt I've been wanting forever and finally got motivation to hunt it, and BG comes around.... decisions man =/

I feel a big demotivational thing about BG is the random nature of who's going to be on your team when you do have enough people. I've heard tales about how it's scripted to try to avoid putting multiple of the same classes on the same team, so you don't get Multiple priest parties and just survive to a draw, or lose to a more offensive team. But still, You get those days when your luck is crap, and you put on the same team as Unlucky McGee 7 Matches in a row.

Another demotivational thing is it's still pretty much dependant on gears. Yes, some strategy is still involved (don't play dumb), but If someone has a +9 Glorious Weapon, they're probably gonna just shred right through whatever HP and strats you have. I remember working hard to make a +10 Triple Bloody Crossbow back in the day and BG pretty much came and made it obsolete. (granted, OAB is still probably better <_<;; )
