Problem: I like ZF but it has a problem when either the teams are too uneven or when there are too few players on either side. What tends to happen in such cases is that one side loses morale and tries to hide or /afk out of the game, which is no fun for anyone. It also drags out the game where it should instead be shortened.
Similar problems do not occur in WSG or in AB because in WSG the stronger side quickly captures the rest of the flags and in AB a 5 base control leads to a quick win as well.
Suggestion: Add another win condition. Make killing omen a win condition for the team that tags him, for this to work you need a few things:
A problem that may occur would be if some players find a way to kill omen outside of the bounds of the BG, but that could be solved later if it happens.
PS. Any boss will do, it need not be Omen

Suggestion: Add another win condition. Make killing omen a win condition for the team that tags him, for this to work you need a few things:
- Add some hp to Omen, it should take a 10 man group at least 3 min to kill it.
- Make sure he is still killable by a 3 man group with a bad healer and no proper tank, but make it take a long time.
- Make sure he tags the team that starts combat with him as enemies and the other team as allies.
- The team that is temporarily allied to omen should be able to heal him until the fight resets.
- If a team fails to kill him he needs to go back and reset aggro and get full hp.
- Announce in the BG when he falls below 90% and 50% hp, so that the other team knows he is engaged and can lose them the game if they do not intervene.
- Give Omen some AOE ability (a debuff would be good) so that he does more hurt the more players engage him. That way he won't be used in a balanced 10v10 to end the game.
