While nothing I have read or seen leads me to believe Aion will be a better large scale PvP game than WAR, there is one area it seems to be superior. It isn't very surprising, as players have been clamoring for it in WAR since before launch.
Small Group Content.
The Abyss is a large zone filled with PvE content. There are npc's to farm and repeatable quests to be run. All of which reward you with PvP points. WAR has the Land of the Dead, which is also a PvE zone. However it is gated, so you will never find a lot of enemies there. Also, most of the content is group (or more) oriented.
The PvE content in the abyss can be run by one or two players, which is sometimes what players like to do. This also enables the small group gankers, which is a larger population that I thought, to go out and find them. When they meet, PvP will happen.... sometimes.
While Aion suffers from zergs, it does offer this small group alternative. Right now that option is missing in WAR.
