Not just a week ago folks were crying about how bad wPvP was (me included) with lopsided fights almost everywhere. I am happy to see that the release of BGs has indeed fixed the problem as it again is possible to play the world content! Wooohoooo!

When PvP progression involves instanced PvP and not maximizing world pvp kills for honor, you’ll notice most of the PvPers just disappearing.
Expect some of them to return after grinding the ranks they wanted to reach.

It’s unlikely honestly… I think most people you will see in the world from now on will be looking to farm something and ignore pvp for the most part similar to retail WoW and other mmorpgs.
Why struggle to accumulate 60k honor a week in wpvp when you can get 60k honor in AV over 3 hours of game time?

As polarizing as Phase 2 was, introducing BGs definitely made a massive difference this first couple of days, to being able to travel the world without having to corpse walk very often.
I rerolled during Phase 2
I finally hit 60. It took me a little over 3 weeks, so it wasn’t entirely during Phase 2. I did finish the last stretch with experience from turning in marks from AV.
I was also able to run solo DM East lasher farms with gear I had acquired along the way.
Still not quite enough for my epic mount, but hopeful to have it by the end of the weekend.

The world feels kinda …empty…like everyone is waiting in some sort of “lobby” instead of interacting with a persistent world.
At least it’s a physical lobby in front of the battlemasters.
If by “pvpers” you mean gankers and griefers, then good riddence. Let’s not forget this a game that in the end should be fun for everyone, not just a few twisted buttheads who think ganking half health low levels is “pvp”.
Even though I love world pvp more than anything, I’m glad that people can log on and do what they want. Especially my guildies and friends.
I also liked not being worried about being killed by a rogue in Orgrimmar immediately after getting the Ony buff.
I fear that some ganking will come back after a week. People will get bored of queuing and will start venturing into the world again.
So a couple months from now basically.
Hardcore people hit exalted yesterday
pvp happened on a pvp server
I thought all the gankers hated instanced PvP and the fact that BG’s came so soon.
Turns out they love it?
What about those of us who like WPvP and 300v300 Tarren Mill and Southshore battles
…?
Ranks are time gated. Minimum 12 weeks from 0 to 14. Weve had honor like what, 4 or 5 weeks now? Minimum time left to 14 is 7 or 8 more weeks. I cant remember when it started.
Dont really see that, wpvp was only like 2.6k/honor an hour but you can make that in 7mins in AV
