You know how there are three Grand Companies, right? And they like to have friendly* battles to control territory, right? What if there were an open world dungeon like Darkness Falls, where all three Grand Companies could contest for relics, special treasures belonging to the leaders of the GCs, which give benefits to any GC who possesses all three relics? Instead of doing PvP combat for them, it could be like a race between GCs to complete special FATEs, available only inside the dungeon. And in order to steal a relic, it'd require a GC to KO the champions who protect it.

If it's anything like Ashran in WoD, then one GC will utterly dominate leading to everyone funneling to one GC making queue times for PvP even worse. Also the GC battles aren't about territory nor are they even pretending to be friendly. It's a bloodbath free-for-all that's being tolerated because of the Eorzean Alliance doesn't want to war against each other, but the Allagan technology is too valuable to give up willingly. It also serves as a front for preventing would be power mongers from gunning for the Allagan super weapon at the bottom of the Carteneau Flats.
