I just hope they allow more than one High Warlord / Grand Marshal per server from the start.
Nuh uh, you are.
standing at a server line and ganking people when then cross over and lag out for 10 seconds is NOT good or l33t pvp.
siege perilous ftw!
The weird thing is tha ‘officer’ titles like that are so wrong. One doesn’t become an officer in the real world by being the top ranked grunt fighter.
This sentence right there is a lie. Im sorry but what is PvP for you? Is it a means to get gear? Cause if thats what it is then ye other xpacs have been “better” for it. But for a pvper who likes to pvp for the sake of it every expansion after vanilla got worse and worse.
Flying mounts, killing every pvp interaction in the world. Just mount up and you are out of the game.
Arena: I know some people love it but quite frankly it always sucked. It was never balanced regardless of bracket (cause the game just is not balanced) and it led to mainstreaming the classes. By Wotlk every class had execute for no reason except to “balance” arenas.
Arena envirnoment: I play a MMO to play with lots of people. If I want to play with 2 ppl i inv my friends over and we play local mario kart. TBC and every xpac after it did exactly that. In a supposed MMO it forced you to play 2v2 or 3v3, which is laughable for a game this size.
Death of bgs: The fact that arena gave the most powerful gear led to bgs being like the unwanted step son of pvp, even though at the core they provided a better experience for all overall. “Bg hero” was the term to make fun of non arena players. It was terrible until they introduced rated bgs, but by then it was already too late. Not to mention that arena still gave the same gear as rated bgs, even though it was way harder to organize and manage a rated bg grp.
So no, every xpac after vanilla, and I am just talking in terms of the spirit of pvp, was worse. Literally every single one. If you just want easy gear, then ye vanilla pvp isnt the best. But rank 10 is very doable solo and it doesnt take too much effort. You just wont drown in epics.

dont be mad becuz u are bad
The population of the server determines how many rank 14’s are possible at a time.
For high pop servers, more than one will be possible. For lower pop servers, maybe only one.
Not only is it obvious but I was in the board meeting at the time and this is how it went.
One board member brought in data that clearly showed that revenue could be increased by 50% if his list of changes were made. Another board member piped up, “I don’t care about the money. I don’t care if I get a raise or a bonus. I hate every one the Pvp’s and I think we should make their lives miserable in the game so the stop pvping or leave. I prefer that they leave because all pvpers suck but at least let us make them miserable.”
The board voted and every one voted to make pvp suck.
A few days later a memo can down from corporate.
Making money isn’t the goal here at Blizzard. Causing pain and anguish to those who Pvp is. Any employee caught Pvping will be fired. Let’s all work together to make wow the best pve game while giving equal consideration to making the pvp experience miserable. Because we hate them.

i believe ur story
Wait… isn’t this a complaint about mechanics that haven’t even been added yet? I’ll bite anyway…
Your definition of “PvP” seems to be 100% about gear and rank, and not a single mention about actual gameplay and balance. Gear design has come a long way in 15 years, it’s obviously “outdated”, but I want it that way.
But there’s a very easy way for you to fix all of this, just go play retail, or something else.
This is not the game to PvP in. They don’t care about the lopsided queue times and win rates for BGs.
The PVP grind is 100% optional.
Blizzard doesn’t hate PVPers, but they did remove PVP servers from the game because of the amount of complaints about PVP on a PVP server from salty players who don’t understand that if you don’t want to get killed while questing by ?? players you should roll on a normal server.

well yea… they hate PvPers so they made ranking and gearing impossible. PvP itself is good ofc… not because they made it that way on purpose it just so happened to be fun.
They made it a grind because it’s an MMORPG, you’re just used to Retail where you can /fart and get an epic.
Once you’ve gotten all the gear you want, the only thing left with is PvP which is the true end game imo and what keeps me playing after everything is on farm.
Or, you can level alts.

yeah they were saying to each other “lets just mess with PvPers, we hate them!” because every company hates certain customers right? over at nabisco they just hate their customers who buy oreos.
I can’t even believe how dumb this thread is.
It’s not dumb, it’s entitled.
Dude’s mad because he wants his PVP epics but probably won’t be able to get them because of Johnny NoJob who lives with his family will be on 20 hours a day every day.
Wasnt there a plan for rank 15? But they decided that it was too much of a grind?
You haven’t experienced a grind till you’ve played BDO and it’s enhancement system. That game defines frustration, but at least you can play on your terms.
