i would love this too, but you know it would result in the formation of ZUMG its too hard to form teams lets make AB 6v6.

No, people would just form AB guilds, like you have GvG guilds now. It would be the leetest thing ever.

Playing against more offensive builds there is a lot to be said for the free DPS you get from the Fireball turrets. When you rely on crushing your opponent before they can take advantage of a fragile backline these things start looking a little more scary.

The obvious question is, are you going to be better at crushing your opponent with the obelisk, or with an extra character who doesn't have to be running the obelisk flag? I won't deny the obelisk adds a bit of pressure, which is nice for cow-style builds designed to walk all over everything. However, time works heavily against builds like that - you have to crush your opponent pretty quickly or your monks will run out of energy and your team will die. In a longer-term fight, it could be worthwhile to slip a man off to get the obelisk, but pressure these days doesn't have a lot of long-term fights. It's more about crushing your opponent as quickly as possible with 6 offensive characters.

It would be nice to have AB improved to a level where it provided another worthwhile form of PvP (by allowing full control over teams, as mentioned earlier). Who can argue against more fun things to do?

Little offtopic but a worthwhile topic for discussion.
