World PvP died when Blizzard had the bright idea to get rid of the “World Defense” channel. Since then, toons can sack any village anywhere and their only concern is the other factions’ toon IN THAT ZONE. I used to spend my downtime playing World Police and going all over the place. Many, many large scale battles resulted in toons being alerted to “Crossroads is under attack!!” Not any more.

If nobody is turning warmode on that should tell you something.
Wpvp sucks.

“You mean ganking people who willingly created a toon on a PVP server that didn’t want to PvP…” (fixed)
all the good old PvP Resilience vs the crit pve players lol
Obviously you never played on a pvp server… there are pve guilds on pvp servers lol and not everyone pvps on pvp servers, just like there are pvp guilds on pve servers…

I admit that when I was logging on, I hardly ever saw anyone out in the world with Warmode which may have helped fuel my feelings of boredom. I’m sorry but I can’t play this game without warmode, it’s WAY too boring otherwise lol.

They have made great world pvp in BFA it is beyond me how they did nothing for Dragonflight could not even copy paste BFA things talk about lazy devs.

I WPVP all the time, not sure what you’re on about.
Sounds like you just want to kill lowbies and not actually WPVP.

Translation:
get rid of flying, CRZ, sharding/layering, chromie time, and force people to actually want world pvp again.

I ONLY played on PvP servers! Yes, there were PvE guilds and players. Except that on a PvP server, when they were in the wrong zone, they were fair game. There was no toggling on or off. And Blizzard even had a WARNING that popped up when you selected a PvP server telling you this… yet people still cried when they got attacked.
The best forum thread I ever read was called “Laws of the Jungle” and should have been required reading before rolling on a PvP server. Of course, players would STILL cry. I was waiting for Blizz to create a new type of server called: “PvP Only When I Want It and Only if It’s A Fair Fight And Only If Someone Will Help Me If I’m Losing And Only If Anyone Who Attacks Me Is Penalized Somehow”
Of course, they would still cry. So Blizz tosses out PvP servers and gets rid of World Defense. Now, max level toons can attack towns at will with almost no repercussions. People have to SELECT Warmode…and they still cry.
World PvP is reduced to fighting over rare spawns. Sad.
Bring back the World Defense channel and you bring back World PvP.

WPvP was never removed, just saying.
War mode isn’t world pvp.
It’s not always “grief”ing.
Classic pvp servers are WAY more fun than DF and it isn’t even close. Gratz on all that raid and mythic gear you got, you’re the best idler or raid logger there is
Ya it was. 4 people with warmode turned on, all with top tier pvp gear isn’t world pvp.

The vast majority of the old PvP server(s) had a population of 90% one side to 10% of the other it wasn’t any better then warmode
NO that was thing in BFA and world pvp was best.
I do miss Battle for Nazjatar.
Assaults in Drustvar.
wars between fish and giblins villages.
Jumping on corals etc gliding in Nazjatar to catch someone I do miss these times.
It sounds like that’s what is happening.

Somehow they hire more people and make less content wtf is this company even doing…
30%|70% was my favorite, when I was on the 30% side. But ya I’m just looking for unfair fights.
Fact of the matter is replacing world pvp with “warmode” turned wow into 2 e sports - instanced raiding and instanced pvping.
There’s 0 reason to gear anymore since everything in the world can be done with quest rewards. Raiding, mythic and pvp are basically just what wow had turned into / transmog collecting for idling
What’s happening is they forced everyone into not pvping. If you have warmode on its basically you vs twinks, because 0 people use warmode. You’re not running into a random encounter with another level 62 fighting for questing territory.
