just be reading comments section you can tell who the 60’s are and who is below level 45. They of course havent experienced what its like being a 48-57 level character who has lost an hour of time getting ganked 10 times in BlackRock mountain. Then a group disbands with nothing to show for the effort of running from Thorium Point GY to their corpse 10 times.
Its a shame because the first few months of playing was great fun and more than just nostalgic value. I rolled a character ive never played before and enjoyed the experience all over again. But im a casual gamer now compared to 15 years ago and i dont have time to waste like i did in Vanilla. And as someone who has played both in 05/06 to 2019, i can tell you the ganking now is on levels ive never seen or experienced before.
Its just not fun and im not going to waste time on it. im guessing casuals make up a large % of the player base so if all the “lol shouldnt have rolled PvP server” trolls are happy to see classic take a nose dive in numbers then good for you.
Just unsubbed and ill spend my weekend doing something more productive and enjoyable.
There are a few that do that but almost all of the ones doing it now are doing it for honor. It will go back to phase 1’s ganking when BGs are out as they are superior for honor.
Why would they set up classic servers in the first place if they designed them to fail? It wasn’t free to get those servers up and running. They will do anything for profit as shown several weeks ago, so do you honestly think that they would throw money away?
BGs probably won’t solve it entirely. Most of the pvpers will be in BGs but during queue times it’ll be the same problem; gank squads at every fp and quest area.
You did roll on a pvp server, that means there will be pvp. Wasn´t that clear to you?
If you unsub so be it, but don´t blame Blizzard for your own mistake. You picked the server type, not Blizzard.
Nothing will change with BG´s, what do you think people will do while in queue? Yes, they will do world pvp, they did so in Vanilla and they will do so again. Gosh, play on a PVE realm and be happy…
It is definately blizzard’s fault for what is happening. They aren’t trying to fix the faction imbalance. They made the servers have too many players to begin with.
In fact, they made the imbalance happen by allowing alliance to leave and gather in 2 servers.
Blizzard never before “fixed” faction imbalance, so why should they do it now? Sure, it would have been fun to have char creation locked, but then people would be crying about not being able to move to the server of streamers etc.
Everyone knew about imbalance, we had that in Vanilla too and it was ok. That´s why playing on a pve realm is an option. The OP did not take that option, so it is his fault.
Because a lot of people are quitting, and back in 2005 , the servers were not so populated as they are now. By your own arguement, PVP servers were more fun back in 2005 because they weren’t overcrowded, so why did they change the population to allow 10,000 people per server instead of 3000.
People, such as the one you’re quoting (which represents a much larger number of players) rolled PvP not anticipating the population and faction imbalance. Unfortunately, they could not predict the future.
Now, as things have become, these players can’t function in-game and your response is almost to say ‘you asked for it.’ They didn’t ask for this and clearly made a grave mistake. Understandably, these players now want something to change. The only change they can make themselves is to reroll and lose the many hours or days they’ve invested in their beloved toons.
Not that Blizzard can do very much, but it’s called empathy. And don’t be too surprised should Blizzard do something in this scenario because as is obvious, they will be losing a lot of money, which is all they care about, honestly.
No need for players on the other side of this to be salty. Maybe try and put yourselves in their shoes a moment.
Peace, see ya later. As hard as I try, I can’t be sympathetic towards people who can’t wait less than a month for the fix that they have been asking for, which has already been planned to release far earlier than it was going to originally. If the game makes you that miserable, it probably wasn’t for you in the first place. If you just hated PvP, you could’ve waited until a server transfer opened up. You also could’ve cancelled your sub, and then resubbed when Dec 10 hit, but whatever, it’s your time and money. I just can’t comprehend that people are this impatient.
Yet it’s what people who leave the game very often do. Most people I met playing classic had come back after several expansions away from the game. I met a fair number of people at the end of Legion who had come back after leaving during the wod flight debacle, and others who had not played since wrath.
And they could all tell me why they left. Sometimes it made sense to me, and sometimes I was thinking to myself, “He quit over THAT???”
But the fact is that the overwhelming majority of people who have started wow accounts have left the game and we can’t know why.
