This may sound strange coming from someone from a guild not known for PVP (in fact, most members of Atys Guardians are rangers not really interested in PVP), but like many players I am interested in providing a wider range of possibilities for different playing styles, including PVP. It occurs to me that one way promote more PVP and make it more meaningful (given the reduced number of active PVP players these days), might be to create a board that ranks guilds according to their PVP prowess. Rather than simply adding up guild members' PVP points, this could involve a new inter-guild PVP system (kind of a hybrid between declaring OP war and a dueling invitation) where a guild could challenge another guild to a PVP battle, with the option to invite either 4 or 6 members (I think more would be difficult in these times) to battle. The winning guild would win one point on the board, the losing guild would lose one point. I think the possibility of being highly ranked on the PVP board would motivate many guilds to participate. It would also be a recruitment tool, as new players interested in PVP would search out the best PVP guilds.
This would be separate from the OP wars, so it would allow for a different style of PVP (not so reliant on sheer numbers of players or weapons of mass destruction).
