Its a proper big battle, bgs were never about just farming honor points. It was about feeling like its an actual battle between two superpowers. AV was always the closest to that, you would log in and join a battle. Maybe take out a single tower and the front-line shifts but that's it. It was meant to be a on-going long conflict, you'd log off and log in the next day maybe the situation changed maybe it didn't.
Even nowadays if you look at modern battles they're not resolved in 1 or 2 days. They go on for months sometimes like the siege of Mariupol took 2 months for example.
That was what AV simulated and why so many liked it. Only laters players adapted since they only wanted to farm honor and nothing else. So both sides just made it a goose-chase about who reaches the end boss the quickest.
