Zone control
The Cesspit. - Home of the fool (on a hill) —
One quick comment on the latest Grab Bag and the zone control mechanic (I'm trying to divert my attention away from the game).
I'll avoid to waste time to post some kind of armchair designer proposal but I want to point out what's wrong in the overall approach. If you want the RvR to pivot around zone control, then the players need to be able to parse it correctly.

... In the recent Grab Bag post on the Herald, Missy Hatch tackled a subject that I’m sure was burning on no-one’s mind: Zone Control Overview. Zone Control was one of those features that was much-lauded in the beta previews, because it is a pretty nifty idea that plays into the concept of a dynamic, changing battlefield. Theoretically, Order and Destruction would vie for control of each zone, pushing their respective blue or red meters to a sweet spot that would trigger a takeover of the zone and make the opposing faction shake their fists and go ...
