From the OP's post I would gather...

1) Not enough massive fights
2) Too much time doing "clean up" work of territories
3) Population is too spread out

Any other captures of the problems?
I personally wouldn't say numbers one or two are a problem...

...But then again I'm the type of person who seems to prefer going around doing "clean up" work over "massive fights."

Three isn't so much of an issue of population density as it is a lack of direction, with very few tools available right now to control the flow of the masses.

And I saw Smedley's interview on RPS last night and thought, I'd be cool for various continents to have varying gameplay style/ battle flow.
Indeed, I much prefer Indar's layout myself, but I wouldn't mind seeing how Esamir balances with two Factions competing for access to the third North-Western Warpgate...

I don't know man... that really doesn't stop people from camping the current footholds, they'd just have AT-Liberators and Tanks waiting all the same...
