A new constructive topic with lots of arguments as i see. So lets bring it to the point.
First: Most of the AT players back in that time were from Warsong, like atleast half of population have played on both servers. As it is now, there are more new or wsg players coz almost every srs player already left this buggy crap.
Second: "fun pve items, quests, mobs, reputation"... no idea what these things have common with pvp. RNG proccing items,skills or whatever have nothing to do in competive pvp scene, just saying. Also i got no idea what did u mean with "good pvp system", but judging from ur post its probably an acces to marketplace, where people like u get gear, they cant get by themself.
At last: AT core brings almost nothing except fixing bugs ( that lolten couldt fix since 2012), solo que ( that i personaly dont like , but still better than wait 2 hours for dead 3s que), duel cds reseting and mogs obtained thu rats ( im here to play pvp, not to grind a mog by quests, killing mobs or whatever)
Next time brings some constructive arguments/opinion rather than random numbers u get out of nowhere...
