This will most likely help a lot.

Realms will team up more often then, I think that's good as well.

Sounds interesting. However this point is kind of... dangerous. Too many factors influencing this, too many possibilities of what is going to happen, it's nearly impossible to predict what this change actually means. You'll maybe have to remove this via hotfix, who knows.
I'm afraid it could mean more useless running, I really hope the new teleportation stuff is going to solve this.

Seems to be something good as well, combined with exp for killing enemies and the new war master coins it should bring more action to the war zone. You should rather change the warmaster coins system than this if it doesn't work out well. (There's some room for improvements, see below)

As long as it doesn't mean more running... I'm looking forward to it! My only concern is warmaster coins, having to accept it as a quest and the strict limit to 1 time per day, that's not the most elegant and comfortable solution and might decrease the war zone action.
