Capture the Flag. Have 2 forts or castles on opposite sides of the map, with different terrain and maybe guard towers and such in between. Each fort has a basement with a rift shard and a maze so it takes a minute to get back up to the top level. Each team binds in their fort and then the game begins. I'm thinking have this be a place you can get to from Terrace Mettle.
No bonus, no keeping score, no prep time, maybe a cost to get there of about 50k. Only real thing would be more PvP and bragging rights. This would also encourage teams to form from multiple factions.

So now comes the part where I get flamed for bringing up something like this when the Relics are already there.

But wouldn't it be fun to make a couple teams and just play tactics? For some reason it seems the relics have become a sore spot for a lot of people and they don't think it's funny when you take them.
Flame On!
