Well last night was a good one for the destruction on Praag. They successfully got into Altdorf despite our best efforts to hold them out. So I spent a few hours playing defender. We, as a guild went into the instance with the most destruction because we wanted to farm them, and we did. The first thing we did was cap the docks and wait for them to come to us. We channeled them, but we did not have our whole group there so we wiped and picked it up in the main courtyard.
They engaged the hero, so we swept behind them killed their healers and things went downhill from there for the destruction. We sat at their spawn point killing them as they came out. At the same time we had out "PVE super team" running the PQ so we could dole out the lone gold bag the defender gets from time to time to people in the guild who where high enough renown rank to get it.
Not only was there a ton of renown, one of our ironbreakers walked away with his Warlord boots, and lucky me, I walked away with my knight Warlord boots. I was excited to get them although I have about 10 renown ranks until I can use it. My only complaint with the city is that a lot of groups try and avoid the fight and instead choose to go to instance where they can farm the PQ. That does not give the invasion feel and really defeats the purpose.
I think if there is no either defenders or attackers in the zone and you can free farm PQ's, they should not drop any set items. Make it unrewarding to those who cower from a fight, after all this is a PVP based game so why reward people who don’t PVP.

Not sure if I read it as speculation, future patch idea, or coming in 1.2, but I think one of the designers said that they plan on removing the ability to pick the instance, forcing everyone into a few instances to fight.
That is true, I have heard that as well. I think that it is a good change to the current way that city sieges work, largely because for some reason in a game with no real penalty for dying people run from a fight. RVE for all!!
God I hope that is true. Avoiding PvP in this game is like choosing to use only a knife in FPS games. You can...but really?
Well a knife in the right hands in an FPS is great, but....alas, it still shows how people are afraid to lose a fight. This is TF2 with more character development so...people need to get over it and put up a fight.
