A good compromise would be something like a server message "It begins to rain blood in Neriak A" etc when some trigger has been satisfied (5 deaths in 5 minutes? I don't know).

This would help promote mass pvp in out of the way locations, as no one is really going to be checking out of the way zones when if the server knew there were 3 TDT/TZT/whatever camping GBS or quillmane it could quickly escalate into a huge brawl.
I would hope it would be smaller then that to alert of pvp going on

if a trio or group gets into it with another duo or trio you have 2-3 people dying (or running) not 5+
imo, thats more noteworthy then a duo/solo killing another solo or someone running by on a CR

2+ is meh, might not be anything there by the time someone runs out. prolly = alot of false alarms.
3+ within 5mins should be sufficient enough to signal pvp happening in whatever zone
(i hope the zone is included in YT)

There will always be YT in whatever auction zone there is for "liveliness"
and anyone lookin for pvp can discredit those broadcasts and join the ones worth investigating
