Does The A.I. Arathi Basin Appeal To You Non-PvPers/PvE Only Players?

Community General Discussion

I know there is a good bit of the community who doesn’t like to pvp. I’m generally curious if the new a.i. battlegrounds will make you want to play them? Despite being advertised as “pvp”, it is essentially pve content with a.i. enemies.

Is this enough to make you try them out? If you do end up liking it, would this help ease you into to the regular pvp versions? Do you hope to see this get implemented in other BGs?

I would love to hear everyone’s opinions, thoughts, and even concerns.

I like them. I much prefer Arathi to Darkshore though.

The thing I dislike the most about PvP is the jumping. Didn’t click until I was doing an Island expedition and the opposing “team” was bunny hopping everywhere.

The mobs don’t jump in the warfronts.

The rewards aren’t too shabby if you have the patience to weed through the dups.

I prefer to fight against other people in a MMO!!

If I wanted a single player vs NPC I would not be playing WoW.

I don’t know if they mentioned it yet, but I wonder if you’ll be rewarded the same way as a regular battleground? Will achievements work? Might be a good way to farm marks of honor for transmog.

I prefer actual pvp as well. But I wonder if this new version would entice non-pvp lovers to give it a try?

The rewards are like 355 ilvl gear when you can easily get 370 from other places. I mean world quest are dropping 360+ stuff so what is the point?

Fundamental problem with Warfronts is they were not pvp and the rewards are not conquest. This is why they are not repeatable.

They are just like any other pve mechanic since TBC that once you pass the ilvl they become pointless.

I’d give it a try but even I took a liking to it I still wouldn’t move into pvp. It simply doesn’t appeal to me.

True. Low item level gear could be a problem. Perhaps ranking up their honor rank, obtaining marks of honor for transmog, and achievements could possibly be enough to get people to dive into them more. I guess time will tell. But you are right that if the armor is weak, people may tend to shy away.

At the end of the day, at least you’ll have a new piece of content to enjoy :grinning:

I understand pvp isn’t for everyone. I hope the new a.i. mechanic allows pve’rs some additional fun content they may have not wanted to try before.

I can guarantee you people will stay away. How many people do you see running Uldir these days? If the reward is gear and that gear does not scale with current content then it is pointless.

Blizzard does this constantly and never understand why people complain.
