Some years ago RoR RvR went from having all 3 pairring open to just the current two.
I'd like to make a case for why 3 is a better system.
But as with everything there would be pros and cons.
Pros:
1) Low playtime players who need progression can go to some of the lower populated zones to progress with BO/boxes and level up zones, and gankers can do the same.
2) Strategic zoneswaps to provide zonelocks in primetime and shake up the stalemate situations
3) Playing better maps with better layout, better heatmaps and better action
4) Racial advantage in influence and crestgain on objectives. If your racial pairring is locked in your active hours you are just progressing slower
5) Live event related tasks connected to conditions such as highelf zones during Twilight Tide.
6) Fatigue. An example would be that our Empire events have had Eatain + Thundermountain for the last few weeks and these maps are horrible.
7) As long as zones are not equal, and some of them are straight up "log out" material when you see them being open, then having more options is just overall a better playing experience.
Cons:
1) Might lead to "empty keep takes" which would progress the campaign though
2) Avoiding fights (Strategic zoneswaps to some extend)
3) Noone would lock Dwarf vs Greenskin?
4) Might interfere with how to queue for city? But i think you can just fly to the gate now with flightmaster(?)
Personally I think 3 pairring being open is just overall a better system, it helps you progress in your racial pairring, it allows for better maps for primetime and roaming, and its a way easier tweak here and now untill zones and orvr are maybe eventually adressed so Eatain heatmap situation can be fixed at its core.
Some maps are so bad that event-guilds log on and are ready to play, and mood goes down with a collective "oh no" when you see the maps available. Opening up all 3 pairring at onces would really be a welcome reintroduction.
