You thought PvP was hated now, compelling participation in losing battles would do it no favors, I assure you.

Maybe, but that doesn’t change the fact that the topic is already a group of people who many have argued are already the most toxic in the game, asking for their own place to do the stuff everyone else hates, without bothering anyone else, and people are like "Nooooo how dare you?! You should be forced to play with the rest of us! "

Because your experiment was already tried, and failed spectacularly. Barring one or two success stories, every PvP server died screaming. Imbalanced populations, rampant toxicity, constant trolling.
I said the same thing when the Zombies event was set to return. ‘This is a bad idea and people’s nostalgia is blinding them to the very real agony this is going to cause server pops’ and what d’ya know, they curtailed the event early the response to it was so bad.
PvP servers were tried. They died. Let them rest and move on.

I think we should remove pandas from the game, we tried before they failed. Let’s just all move on in a better world without pandas.

Because a bunch of people who didn’t want to be there rolled on them anyway.
This also isn’t the same situation as people who like WM would still have their servers untouched.
If nothing else, this is an idea that pulls a bunch of super toxic people off other servers. How is that a bad idea??

Because further segregating the playerbase is a horrible idea and compelling people to choose between playing PvE and playing with their friends is also toxic as hell?
Let me preface this by saying I don’t honestly care one way or another of PVP servers come back or not. It doesn’t affect me. Never has. Never will. If it makes pvpers happy I say go for it.
But PVP servers had way more issues than just PVE players rolling on them and then complaining.
Again, I don’t see a problem with them coming back. But let’s not blame all the problems on PVE players.

So what I am reading in short:
“I want to gank low levels, and prevent them from escaping and not only escaping we also should body camp them in their city until they log out”
now, how do we make that happen.
Blizzard could you please create a dedicated server for that sort of activities.
Did I miss anything?
Let’s close Arkham because we don’t want to segregate out this small group of people who do stuff everyone else hates.
So the issue is your friends are the worst of the worst toxic players… gotcha.
Not sure what this is supposed to be, but we have something that keeps the worst of the worst in check: War Mode. It’s a more elegant and less restrictive system than forcing an entirely new character for a ‘thrill’ you can get with the click of a button.
Even if they were incredibly toxic, I’d still want to play with people I know versus people I don’t know.
Yeah, you missed the part where you obviously are not interested in joining a pvp server, so there is no reason for you to be here. Log in to your RP or normal server and ignore this thread.

would be nice
I still want to rub it in the faces of toxic PvPers (Sorry to the nice ones though!) that RP servers still exist. 
The rest of those problems either had PvP solutions or were population balance issues, which blizz could control for more easily on 1 or 2 servers.
One of the biggest things here is that nobody wants WM gone, it’s an additional server. Everyone enjoying themselves now has no reason to change at all.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have those people off regular servers? People who actually enjoy WM would be getting a win there too.
How’s that saying go about the company one keeps?
Can anyone here see blizzard actually paying to keep a separate server build just for The few pvp snowflakes that want this? WM enabled them to consolidate builds.
Population issues
Toxicity issues
Threats of out of game violence
A huge bot problem, which was also a problem on PVE servers back then.
And a few others.
But again, I’m not against PVP players getting their servers back. I’m honestly all for it. I mean I wouldn’t want them to take away Roleplay Servers. So I see no reason why you guys can’t get your servers back.
Servers are virtual nowadays, it doesn’t cost them much more to have one more or less. If it did they’d have closed/merged way more servers than what we got nowadays.
Also playing wow and calling other people snowflakes is funny for me.
What else are you gonna call people nerds.

What if I get a bunch of friends and all log in alliance but hang around in Dalaran? Does the game force tp them to make sure fights are balanced?
Looks like you’re the snowflake for getting your feelings hurt over something that doesn’t change your gameplay. And it doesn’t cost bliz to have another server, otherwise they would merge and shut down all the empty/dead servers. They have plenty of servers that don’t do much of anything.

Like you have any idea what it would cost them to have a complete different set of compiled code just for 1 server? a separate QA setup just for 1 server? That is a LOT of cash outlay for a small pvp subset.
