no. to all experiences. pvp is fine. if you have a problem with it, it’s a problem with you.
These types of people were dormant until phase 2 arrived. With the way world PvP is structured, most PvP server communities are bound to be toxic. It’s the nature of the game. Things will settle down a bit once BGs are out tomorrow, but there will still be plenty of people quitting/rerolling on other servers. It is what it is, unfortunately.
The math is irrelevant. This isn’t a math issue. It’s an “Alliance won’t coordinate” issue. The same things will happen despite the ratio or population. It’s just what has always happened on PVP servers.
Lmao, you’re delusional. I actually don’t have a problem at all, but I’m not ignorant and naïve enough to think no one else does.
it’s not a delusion, the problem is them, they had wrong expectations.
well i would say alot of the non toxic people have left by now. I know personally 3 irl friends who have quit since the start and none of them are toxic by any means. 2 couldnt keep up do to classic being such a grind and they went to retail. the other is on overwatch…
I have never “poked” anyone in this regard, and neither have a great many other posters on the topic. It is not abusive or trolling to point out that pvp is, by its nature, an aggressive form of play.
Nobody plays any pvp game outside of WoW expecting a peaceful adventure; you attack and you expect to be attacked. The issue with WoW is that due to a certain lack of design insight, the developers occasionally make poor racial design decisions that cause players to choose one faction in preference to the other. It’s human nature to like having a slight advantage (real or otherwise) and so you will often get these mad swings off an even balance to the point where your side is outnumbered.
BUT this only really matters on a pvp server. On a normal server faction balance has little effect because you can only be attacked if you choose to make yourself available for combat. So you can do your quests and raids and mat farming because normal servers are exactly that - world pvp is a minor part of the game and pvp only really comes into effect in certain situations (such as perhaps wanting to stop the other side getting the tag on a world boss) or in battlegrounds.
So saying that choosing to play on a pvp server is a player-choice issue is exactly true. Anyone who chose to play Alliance when there was a pretty good idea that Horde would be the more popular choice on that server, did so knowing they might have a rough time. I’ve never seen any realistic methods of controlling faction imbalance because, ultimately, its all about player choice, and I figure if Blizzard knew a way of doing it so that nobody was disadvantaged, they would have done so by now.
I don’t know, I remember the PvP community being pretty toxic back in 2005-2006, too. Main difference is it was everyone flooding the forums whining about certain classes/abilities being OP and calling for nerfs, and then the pi$$ing matches would ensue. Toxicity and PvP kinda go hand in hand, IMO.
Me thinks you’re delusional by thinking it has anything to do with alli / horde.
The math has everything to do with it, but I’m not going to argue the point with someone that doesn’t understand ratios.
It’s really embarrassing when people try to force the few logical fallacies they’ve heard into every conversation. You’re not using that correctly, not context-wise or even grammatically. It’s not even a relevant way to bring up a logical fallacy.
Nice necro.
Phase 2. #NeverForget
Don’t let words on the Internet hold power of you and you’ll be fine.
I was thinking this very thing.
The only people left are the ones who really like raiding. the parse chasing tryhards, hardcore PVPers, and the people like myself who REALLY like the leveling process.
All of the casuals/touriss/whatever you want to call them were chased out during F2 with the roving bands of sweaty gankers camping people to farm honor.
TBH the #nochanges people are the most toxic, ignorant part of the classic population.
Nah, it’s the hardcore meta elitists who tell you every time you talk that your spec is trash and you should re-roll a mage.
