WPvP and PvP as a whole is so underutilized. Imagine if blizz added weekly quests where you had to travel to OLD zones, make it random with ANY zone in the game. Imagine PvP’ing back in STV or Plaguelands. Or adding warcrate drops in various old zones that rotate around. It would take little to no time to put into the game and would add so much. I feel one of the main things that makes PvP way more enjoyable is the Alliance vs. Horde fantasy. Or adding a weekly quest to kill the opposing factions city leaders would be another great addition!

They could literally do something as simple as giving a surge of conquest points for killing all of the city leaders, and make it weekly. Make it reward a bloody token piece or w/e as well.
The only drawback being people would likely try to find dead shards to farm on alts.
The original WPvP was heavily built around city leaders up until probably legion?
Since we’re going back to the main two continents for midnight and maybe last titan it’d be the perfect time to add that.
Also could make all of the city guards be elites and buff their damage/hp to make them not pushovers.

It’s too bad this game isn’t focused on open world pvp. If it were, I’d rather do that all night than chase flags or hump pillars.
But I guess that’s asking for a different game at that point.

They’d have to get rid of warmode or make a dedicated PVP only server again. They should experiment and make Emerald Dream an RP-PVP server again where warmode is always on and there’s no sharding, server-only, and bring back the world defense channel. I know for certain it would instantly become the most populated server and it would have queue times again. Blizzard has no idea what theese changes ruined on Emerald Dream.
Guilds would be formed around a theme. Certain guilds would declare certain areas their domain and defend it until their last drop of blood was spilled. It had emergent gameplay and the world felt alive. Now my server is just dead. I turn on warmode and I won’t see another soul for hours.

Bfa had some good wpvp with those faction incursions. Drustvar one at aroms stand was bis.

I don’t mind the crates, but farming them being the best method for conquest has got to go. Put that conquest into anything else, not something that is done in a raid group that tries to avoid PvP lol.
You should NOT be getting more conquest from opening a crate over and over, than you do from winning BGs IMO.

Warmode bonus should be significantly increased (40%, let’s say), as well as honor rewards per kill.

Oh, the nights in Vanilla & TBC spending hours all night ganking people trying to level… good times would be an understatement.
Too bad Blizz no longer appreciates one of their cornerstones of Warcraft.

They could widen the function of bloody coins so that wpvp isn’t only relevant the first few weeks of the season.

Unironically organic wPvP engagements have been the most fun I’ve had in the game, far more than BGs or SS / arenas.

If you need a reason beyond bloodlust you aint doing it right

Same here. And by far. They are overlooking immense potential by catering to people posting pyjama mogs on reddit. And they want to attract a wider audience.
Maybe it’s time to get out of the echo chamber, Team Rainbow.
Wpvp is so boring. It benefits specific classes (ROGUE) and there is always a mismatch. Yay lets gank 1 guy questing as a party of 3! Fun
Think about anything that would give an incentive to do world pvp and you’ll realise it would just become any of the BG or Epic BG mod but, in the world map instead of being instanced.
I’ve always been in favour of this. Or I’d say scrap the bloody coins completely and have wpvp reward honor + conquest, but also widen the use of honor.
WPvP is by far my favorite aspect of the game. I love the fun of questing and ganking at the same time. Wandering around and getting into combat with who knows what is exciting! An overly geared pally with 2400 arena ranking is as much of a possibility as a fresh 80 who’s unaware of their surroundings. By far my favorite part of the game!

The Drustvar one had some of my favorite battles. Really wish they’d bring something like that back.

I like the idea of picking one old zone to be a pvp area. Make hotbeds of elite world quest areas into conquest farming world quests and disable flight in that area and/or zone.
I also think now that faction barriers are breaking down it’d be nice to be able to go hostile like the nzoth thing from bfa. Make it so that you can choose to become hostile to certain groups. Like you can decide that hey, I’m ultra racist to night elves today and now you can attack night elf warmode players as a human. And let this progress sparks quests and things like that.
Make it so you don’t get conquest in a raid group from warcrates anymore as well. You can only loot conquest in a 5 man group or less.
Also make bloody coins war band currency so I can gear my alts a bit easier when I’ve got a surplus.
I wish we could go back to the old days like that.
