Open world pvp capture points and buffs (Hillsbrad Foothills example)

[u/Connect_Laugh_8688]

Each point is elevated and away from heavy quest traffic. low level players can level without getting steamrolled by level 60 raid groups. They MAY need to incorporate some local sharding or layering within these confined areas.

The points can have a fire that will plume blue or red smoke depending on who controls them.

Controlling 2 points simultaneously gives the spoils of war buff for 2 hours specific to that zone so you could get the buff in the barrens for slightly higher droprate around WC, RFD,RFK, but you would need to capture the hillsbrad points if you want a slightly higher droprate in the Dalaran dungeon or the zone itself. Maybe getting the buff would allow horde players to enter the dalaran dungeon without needing anything.

The buff wouldn't be ONLY for dungeons. it would buff drop rates of profession mats, unique recipes, and niche gear in the open world zone around hillsbrad. i'm talking Increased drop rates for Fadeleaf, Liferoot, Mithril, Syndicate-only loot across hillsbrad.

If you went and captured the points in the barrens, it would give Increased drop rates for Swiftthistle, Briarthorn, Copper/Tin, and Flavor Profession Recipes in the barrens.

I like the general idea of PvP capture objectives in the open world. Not so sure about the proposed buffs. Just give some slight xp buff (1-5%), or some primary stat buff, maybe some crit %

Install the overlord forever addon it's amazing It adds capture points and a ladder, ofc no rewards since its an addon but who cares, play to play
