Blizzard is removing PVP Servers soon

[Obnoxious]

I don't gank people and yet I still find it stupid as well.
It's Warcraft, a game where Horde and Alliance always tend to fight each other unless they're at that moment fighting a bigger threat (or even then, take a look at Gunship Battle in ICC, champions in ToC, etc). So why would then hordes and allies go around together questing and ****e. Sure some people want it that way, but then again remember as I said, this isn't World of Lovecraft (and I don't mean the H.P. one).

Because this is a game, people are paying to have fun, and PvPers fun isn't more important than the one of those who don't want to get involved in that. Having to rely on the name of the game as argument is a bottom-of-the-barrel resort.

Are you saying Warmane is some gem that has very active WPvP? Well judging by their most populated server thats far from the truth.

They said that this move is making the foundation to revamp WPvP its not like the removal of PVP servers means death to WPvP. Killing people in the world would grant xp, rep and all that so that you are rewarded for pvping in the world with more than a hk and some honor (and griefing).

The only reason for people going back to non-scaled pvp is so they can one shot lowbies. Mad kids will come to Warmane to WPvP that is right lol cause when their shadowmourne would be scaled to lvl 25 would mean no more faceroll and have to actually read what a skill does.

Camping Rebel Camp vs old school Tarren Mill pvp, i bet warmane players like camping rebel camp more lol.

warmane actually had some good Wpvp in the past

ofc its nowhere even close to retail Wpvp.i remember in MOP on retail 5-10 guild from multiple realms group up transfer into horde realm and start mass Wpvp vs multiple horde guild.it was pretty epic and everytime ended with crashing the server.on my guild pretty much all officers was with final warning from blizzard because of this server crashes and they didnt dare to be raid leader anymore.

however aside of arranged one, WPVP is pretty much dead as soon as they add flying mount to the game,aside of ganging someone who is questing ofc.

World pvp between players of the same level is not that bad. They should just add some kind of feature that makes ganking less desirable and fun. Something like the old dishonorable kills sistem or maybe a deserter debuff which doesn't allow you to join bgs or dungeons.

easy way around that, make a character, get some gear and use it solely for ganking, no need for dungeons/bg's.

It was just the first thing that came up to my mind but I mean some way to punish the ganker without banning him completly. But I have to admit that a ganker would not be discouraged ever enough if he is just a complete ***** who wants to ruin other players' free time. And judgin by some threads I'ver recently red here, there is plenty of them.

They aren't getting rid of PVP servers, they are making it so all players have the option to play on a PVP or PVE server at any time through the sharding technology, with bonuses being given for playing with PVP on. If your thing is ganking level 30s in STV then too bad for you I guess, if your thing is proper world PVP then you're in luck.

How it currently works on retail is simple, you're on a PVP but you outnumber the opposite faction like 1000/1 because all of the popular servers have a dominant faction so you never anyone outside of crossrealm zones.

Lol world pvp has always been one thing. It's about ganking lowbie players. World pvp should have been about taking over Townes or killing equal lvl players but how often have any of you said "oh there's a player around my lvl let's go kill him". I mean sure maybe every so often but the general thinking is " oh look that dood is 20 levels below me and he's trying to get some quests done let's make his life miserable". Hence world pvp is meh. Whether they get rid of it or not doesn't bother me because pvp servers are only difficult due to the high amounts of bored max lvl characters trying to hinder lower lvl characters from leveling. I think if you want to prove how awesome a pvper you are go do some arenas or battlegrounds. Nothing says your bad *** quite like slaughtering lowbie players but I think there's a better way lol.

literally 99% of WPVP players are fighting people who are equal level.just because some pleb have gone to low level zone and camp low levels trying to quest dont mean majority of WPVP is doing it as well.

I absolutely love this response and my feeling towards PVP servers in general could not have been said more. Hell, I sometimes purposely look for a fight when I'm exploring Azeroth or Outland on my level 80 in Warmane.

It's bad how they turning Warcraft into the Peacecraft. Alliance and Hore are enemy factions, they're in war and that means if they see each other, they would fight. Who cares about gankers, wpvp is one of the reasons why this game is fun. It also motivates lowbies to level up their characters and fight with big guys.

Oh boy they're making the entire world a garrison where no one can hurt you. But nah its a fine change considering they said they'd give XP bonuses to people who play in PvP.
