PvP Content for Small Groups/Guilds

I have been following Ashes for a long time and watching the updates, but I would not consider myself an expert on all that has been said and all of the design principles and goals. That having been said, it seems like the Castle siege content is aimed solely toward larger guilds. Is there PvP content geared toward smaller guilds? Has there been thought put into how to prevent massive zergs from dominating PvP and allowing for smaller groups to skirmish? What instanced content is planned, and has there been discussion of gear-based / skill-based / class-based matchmaking, role queues, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Sieges arent about pvp.
They are about diplomacy and strategy, when to rush when to split objectives, when to faint pressure and when to make your enemy feel safe.

Plus, after the first few months of an mmo with castle control, sieges arent an individual occasion. The big guilds are involved in every castle siege at the same time.

So I'd rather not get sieges involved in this conversation.

The are other areas of the game that involved mass pvp.
Raids wars grindspots quest spots.

AoC is lacking a way of paying PvPers with node gold, there is no tracking of pvp performance. If a node is at war you can't destiny gold for killing enemies.

I will make thread about it

Excited to read the information on Arena’s, it’s my favourite form of PVP. GW2 does it so well with 3-cap domination, would be great to have the same. I recently tried the game 'Warhaven' which has a similar system to GW2 (3-cap domination), I was thinking how fun it would be to have Warhaven’s game implemented into an MMO. It would be a lot of fun for small guilds and solo players.
