This is a suggestion having no impact on gameplay other than to allow a small bit of bragging rights.
How about a counter that keeps track of ALL the conquest points a player has across all regions!?
This would be a great thing to add achievements for as well!
"I helped!" Earn 100 CP
"This region is mine!" Earn 1000 cp in a single region
"One man army" Earn 10,000 CP
Ya know, stuff like that
It'd also be nice to split up the top 3 region contributors by alliance. (light/dark) This would let people know if there's a few people charging forward to take the area, as well as allow more people to get their name on the top spots. Everyone likes having their name show-up in the game somewhere, this'll let twice as many people get that warm fuzzy feeling =D
It shouldn't be too difficult to code either (either aspect).
