They’ve indirectly said they don’t care about RP PvP.
Pretty sad that’s their stance. Community isn’t their priority unless it involves $$$ for them

They had pretty well thought out reasoning in the pvp video
If you paid any attention to the dev podcast, it’s something they were already working on anyway. They just pulled it forward because they have a use for it before they thought they would originally.
They also hinted (more like stated) that it’s going to be used in the game down the line, it’s not just a one time usage for this tourney.
What they said wasn’t wrong but it was incomplete. They only seemed to consider RPers who want to PvP and not PvPers who want to RP.
To me open PvP is a huge part of the game and I’m going to prioritize that. As much as I’d like to roleplay, if there’s no option for the RP-PvP ruleset then I’m just going to play PvP. And you can say there will be full-flagged communities playing on RP but I know that when push comes to shove most people are going to drop their flags when it’s time to farm Black Lotus or do their attunement quests.
If only Shobek had hosted a $100k transmog pageant instead.

ITs sad cause if you want role playing names over silly pvp and meme names and you want world pvp you forced to choose between a mature player base that takes time to think of a name over world pvp where you see meme names everywhere that break immersion.
Overall ill go to rp mode to avoid the meta slaves its usually more chill and helpful on rp realms where you can play off meta more like shaman tank. Less gate keeping specs and class raid comps.
If your not chasing a world first you really dont need to be concerned with the meta.. just kills the fun out of your own game play.
Just a friendly reminder that if you want to PvP in Forever you have to be on the same server as every single other PvP-interested player, including the most toxic and problematic types of players.
Chat will constantly be a spamfest of toxicity, nonsense, brainrot, politics, trolling.
The world will experience more trolling than ever before.
And if that atmosphere doesn’t sound good to you, then congratulations. You can play on a ruleset that doesn’t feel like WARcraft and just be a PvE raidlogger.
Or that when you go to make your character on the PvP ruleset with your guild and friends it may be faction locked for the faction you want to play. Wait indefinitely, play the faction you don’t want to play, or again, go be a PvE player.

They didn’t make anything for a tournament, they just had a GM teleport some players to an existing currently out of bounds zone to use as a backdrop.
Their argument is they don’t want to divide the community. It’s a sound argument.
Their actions ARE dividing the community. Now some will go PVP, some will go RP, and the rest won’t play at all.

Are you… are you seriously arguing that a tournament with prize money is RMT?
my question is why would there ever be a rp pve server…dosent holding hands with the other faction break all the rp?

The only folks who think it is don’t understand that RP-PVE and RP-PVP players are two entirely different communities. The result of the decision is that RP-PVP gets split into those who will go RP, and those who will go PVP, because we do not-- and cannot-- collectively have a direction one way or the other. Nowhere else suits us because we are our own thing.
I play on MG now because Emerald Dream died with the introduction of War Mode, and I still only play with WM on. I am an RP-PVPer and have been since the server type was introduced.
