Hello,
I'm going to try and keep this topic short, sweet, and to the point - we want Arena Tournament back! I can tell you that at least 45-50% (if not more) of AT's population, dropped because of the fact that Warsong has not received a single change from 2+ years. Look at Arena Tournament before the merge, and it's population on the Catacylsm realm, then look at Molten's Warsong realm population after the whole shutdown and merge, it's even lower. Warsong is worthless, and it's unfortunate even the old Warsong and AT players together want a change. I'm not trying to be disrespectful towards the Molten players/staff, or even Warmane in general, I'm just trying to make a difference, in order to boost Warsong's population again. Back on the Old Warsong, Eversong woods was crowded with over 40 afk-roleplaying confused horde players, all familiar faces with eachother, and if those people are reading this post, they know what I'm talking about - this is a tournament realm and not a afk roleplaying fest. This secludes the amount of Ally players that would teleport over to "PvP Areas > Silvermoon CIty >" and would create such an open world, pvp battle honor farming the poor afk, role-playing no binds only cap nothing else casuals. Look at duel zone now, it's completely dead. That place use to be covered with over 100 players, talking smack and throwing duel flags, or simply just standing there on there mount afk, the AT dueling area was unique and also had cd reset which really had increased the pupularity of dueling. Gurubashi Arena, Dead as f*ck. That was the base of all the top ranked pvp players, who sat afk just flashing there r1 titles, then people would build raids to go over there and wipe them. Even the items, I know that a lot of people agree with the pve gear taking over PvP, but 95% of Warsong consisted of players with heroic pve gear because it had a temporal ego boost and OP and the very same players were complaining 24/7 about it on the forums, and pretty much obtainable ONLY through donations creating huge IMBALANCE <--- WE DONT WANT THAT BACK. The whole PVe Raidfinder items or normal item vendors is pretty old Warsong based and should probably be removed. There is no AT now, it's never been the same since the merge and it's sad. The way molten did it, was the worst way ever, and I'm sorry if people take offence to that. I've never been on Neltharion ever since the merge, and so has every other person who previously was actually doing arenas on Warsong/AT, and I've talked to EVERYBODDDY, all the people playing on Neltharion are the very same afk roleplayers that don't contribute at all to the competitive pvp scene . We want the old AT back. We want the same teleporting NPC's back, being able to join isle batlles, including going to queue zones, we also want transmogs and mounts for arena rating. We want it all back and its so damn sad to see the population never raises above 500 people, not even 250. Can the staff please take some recognition of this. It's a new year, let's start combining the best of both worlds and make some changes please. The whole Catacylsm population has been dying. I know this topic is kind of all over the place, but I had to get it out. Today I was in Eversong Woods, first time signing in Warsong for the longest time ever, and it just came to me, so I decided to make it public. Tell me what you guys feel about it? Some GM responses would be splendid.
Now I completely agree with you, and would like to add that I'd love to see the /.challenge/ 1v1 or party duels in arena back again. Also a simple solution for all PVE fanboys would be to allow them to donate for the precious ego boosting heroic pieces, but restrict it's usage to everywhere else except arenas.
