You could swap to your blaster more often 
Excellent, really great feedback guys. thanks
Better balance in warburg, plus the FFA is cool.
The main problem in RV is heavies and the nuts number of npcs that kinda cripple the idea of any PvP at all. Many sets are severely harmed (rads, bubblers, stormies...) and some others severely enhanced (kins and empaths). Besides the difference of 50s in CoH and in CoV is plain to see, and thus heroes usually outnumber heavily villains, add to that that epics are much better than PPPs and well, think u get the idea 
So blas, ignoring NPC's as we have moaned about them since the beginning of time and seemingly been ignored, you are suggesting its the game mechanics and in your view heroes being stronger than villains that stop you entering RV ?
HEroes being stronger than villains, having better sinergy among themselves, being many more than villains, and heavies -besides the silly amount of NPCs around- are IMO the main reasons why people who want some PvP ignore RV (I'm often there myself, mainly on a villain, tho, it makes things more fun )
RV's a great concept with a flawed actualisation, the zone itself with the (viewed as) huge rewards on pillboxes encourages farming them, which can lead to a bad atmosphere if said people doing the pillboxes aren't interested at all in PvP and will hurl abuse either via local, broadcast or tells (which happens more often than I'd like).
Couple that with Heavies, which while they work thematically with the zone, they can in some cases be detrimental to PvP, being two shotted by them can get tiring, and the fact that the PvE are not only common and large, but also contain a fair amount of bosses complete with pretty hardcore Mez's.
A lot of the issue is attitudes to certain things among zone PvPers. People who will harass you if you're in a team, use inspirations, travel powers to stay out of melee/range, use self heals like Aid Self (when they're not confused for Inspirations =\ ), or just for the hell of it because you killed them and they simply think it's unfair.
Oh and the whole APP-vs-PPP debate, I really like the PPP's, great idea, some nifty effects. But I'd rather have Focused Acc on my Stalker and Brute instead of something like Dark Blast. Or something like PFF or Force of Nature, hell, or Power Build Up for a Corrupter etc...
My current two cents!
RV is the crappiest implementation of a high end PvP zone i have seen in my entire life in any MMO. The rewards are a joke,the farmers in there are a serious joke that the devs STILL havent addressed,the heavies are a joke,the friggin zone is just lame. Even pokemon online has better high end PvP.
The devs admittedly know [censored] all when it comes to highend game imho and only in the light of i10 something seems to change reaaaaaaaaally slowly and its really late since the competition is REALLY heavy now.

What Extremus said.
/arena Less people in RV please

Rofl!!!
Dude, seriously, you eat too much bekri meze 
RV is the most [censored] pvp zone. Full of mobs and farmers/badgehunters who are crying if you attack them. I deny to pvp in a zone like this. Not to mention the heavies that everyone get one and like 1 shot you with it. Also, FFA is cool in Warburg and its balanced since its lvl 38. Because Epic powers are making a huge difference, instead of our crappy Patron powers.

Yes please
Recently I've had a few good battles in RV on Defiant but its quite rare when you get a decent number of PvPers each side
thePhilosopher Martial Arts/Regen/Fire Scrapper
theRegulator Empathy/Energy/Soul Defender
Total Inertia Ice Blast/Kinetics/Psy Corruptor
Total Inferno Ice Blast/Thermal/Leviathan Corruptor
I dont see RV being any heavier on NPC's than the other zones, in fact, I'd say SC is far worse for NPC's getting involved.

What's wrong with RV?
/em rant start!
I have said it before... and I'll say it again! The only reason nobody wants to PvP in RV is because when you go in and you attack someone they then broadcast "N00b!", "I am farming. Don't attack me!" or "I am here for pillboxes". It is a PvP Zone for crying out loud!!! 
If you can't handle being attacked AND killed then don't go in! SIMPLE! To eneter a PvP zone (where you get a message saying "You WILL be attacked by other players!") and then broadcast "Don't attack me. I am here for Inf!"... well sorry ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that in my books doesn't apply! If someone says that I then start to grief them by preventing zone reset (like you're supposed to) or I start killing them. It is ridiculous the amount of people who go in and are there just for farming and then moan when they get attacked. Then when you state it is a PvP zone, they send a torrent of abuse your way! I have not once, not once ever entered RV and found people actually playing the game it was there for! Sure the Inf rewards are nice and the EXP and sure we all farm (myself included) but I do endulge in PvP (if someone is ever there looking for PvP). IMO the zone is not a PvP zone... instead it is a Farming Zone. I think when you enter a message should come up saying "Farm to your hearts content and enjoy the nice rewards without being bothered by other players!".
/em rant end
P.S Do something about it Devs!
EDIT: And if you were to remove Heavies, this would make it harder to beat a Level 54 Boss Turret. Easy way around that. Oh look. Level 50 Boss Turret. Problem fixed. This would work since half the population of CoH can solo Boss catagory enemies +2 to their level (well I can anyway). And making them Level 50 would dramatically lower the rewards you get instead of getting half a bar of EXP from killing four Level 54 Bosses. Basically... nerf the zone. And if they do, it will be the best nerf we've had... since they nerfed something they shouldn't have (looks at Instant Healing power in Stalker's power tray).

How about scourge for Defenders. 
lol ummm are you all on union??? because on defiant in RV pvp has been quite regular lately imo, have even had some good old fashioned hero team v villain team EPIC battles. Just gotta time it right people there are some farmers in there yes i know but thats only because its the easiest way to lvl/gather influence/prestige.
Dont nerf it!! make it more interesting!!! Add EVRY single enemy type in the game in there!!!! that'll make it more fun
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

No, he's right, if all you do is fight in the freaking hot zones.
How to fix it all!
Put 100s of heavies in Bloody Bay so everyone can have one and have a massive war with lots of heavies each! Like a Gladiator Zone lol
Completely change RV into a smaller zone. Scrap the Heroes/Villains idea for this zone and just have 2 sides, a mix of both Heroes/Villains, you can pick a side when you enter.
This would completely go against story, the aim of RV, the name, and probably allow ppl to exploit BB somehow. BUT! It sounds 1000 times more fun, and thats what games are all about right! FUN FUN FUN!!!
Hmm... at least it would solve both the issue with APPs being so much better than PPPs and also the factor of the number of lv 40+ heroes being a lot more than the number of 40+ villains.

Why does all the action take place in Warburg ?
Maybe its time to tell the devs why you dont use their highest lvl PvP zone. Let them know why you sacrifice 10 levels of hard work.
Is it becase you are a bad stalker and cant find a way past FA - maybe you hate the heavies - Maybe you just like killing everyone and everyone.
I guess im kinda hoping that there will be another PvP zone being created somewhere in the back of someones mind, and would love to give the devs some ideas as to what they did so well in warburg and forgot to do in RV.
Sirens seems to run well enough, no one really stays in bloody bay's lvl range to use it for very long..but people stop and get hooked in warby. Why ?
