This has gone on too long, Warmane. It's time to stop.
Okay. Let me first start by saying that I understand the things that the Warmane Admins and Devs go through,having been one myself in the past for other games.
I am a lover of pvp. I think that pvp trumps pve in coordination and skill any day of the week, because it's a human being you're fighting against. Not a sprite or npc.
I cannot put into words how apathetic people on Lordaeron are towards pvp. Your cross-realming us with icecrown has done nothing but completely destroyed all hope for almost 100% of people who want to pvp on Lordaeron. Noone knows when they join the x1 realm that they are in for a shock when they hit 80 and want to pvp. That is the position I am in currently, and I have around 40 other people in my guild that are in that position as well.
Lordaeron does not have the option to purchase a Shadowmourne flat out. I know what you're going to say, "Lol it's not just that it's gear" and things along the lines of, "You guys just don't know your class hurr". Just hear me out, okay?
We have played this game since it came out in the late 2000's. There are millions of places to research tactics, strategy, gearing, gemming, enchanting and all the things that go into making a fine-tuned killing machine to pvp with. Noone can deny the fact, however, that there are literally DOZENS OF SHADOWMOURNES ROLLING OVER HORDE IN EVERY BATTLEGROUND AT ANY TIME OF DAY.
This isn't right. It's not fair. It's not conducive to a happy play environment. Noone wants to do a BG just to get raped.
I'm not one for complaining so I come with a very, very simple solution.
Let ICECROWN PVP'ERS PVP with ICECROWN PVP'ERS. They have over 10,000 people on that server. Let BLACKROCK PVP with LORDAERON, because even though they can log-in to win (don't get mad you know that holds truth in it. I can't log in to Loraderon and get full relent), at least they can't buy damned Shadowmourne and literally ROLL. OVER. MOBS. OF PEOPLE. WITH HEALERS. WITH GEAR. COORDINATING WITH EACH OTHER.
This isn't about one guy complaining, okay. I am speaking for hundreds of people NOT ONLY on Lordaeron BUT ALSO on Icecrown's server. We're tired of this crap Warmane. Please, undo it. You're killing the PVP community and making it impossible for people who WANT TO PVP to DO SO ENJOYABLY.
I'm not saying get RID of Shadowmourne. All i'm saying is stop Pay to Play from being able to BG with a x1, non buff server that has literally everything pinned against it. It's not right, and it's not fun, which is why people come here. Not to get raped.
Thank you for all you do, Warmane.
