That was different in that it would have an entire region become open pvp with the controlling side being able to gank the other side at will with no risk of reprisals.
Would have been impossible for those of the non-controlling side to enter there without opening themselves up to constant harassment attacks.
If this scheme is reserved solely to the scope of outpost battles, and/or a narrow area in and around controlled outposts, it's not so bad (except that there's some boss spawns inside or very near outposts that'd need to be relocated to avoid having some bosses effectively become property of specific guilds).
