If you view PVP while leveling as a “waste of time”, you don’t plan to do anything but raids & BGs with minimal to no wPVP, if you complain about people “Starting things” around Nessingwary’s, if you get angry when you die, or you consider it griefing to get your DMF buff killed off of you, you should have rolled PVE.
it is your job to make those people regret their decision to roll on a PvP server
Something something “but it’s where muh friends went!”
Well buddy if it were about your friends you should’ve convinced them to go to the PvE server with you. Or at least get them to come and defend you
Look I already killed like 200 people trying to get to SM yesterday what more do you want?
If you like pvp - you’d love a good release in which ranking while leveling is enabled.
All pvp players that have played such seasons will usually attest it is the best part.
This fresh pvp server is basically a pve server with 90% of people not fighting because they are getting no honor.
The best part of PVP on Classic servers is the period before the honor system drops when people are PVPing for the sheer joy of it not because there’s rewards attached to it.

this 100%
once you start getting people who are only in it for the rewards, the magic kinda fades away…
Pvp is still a choice even if on a pvp server you aren’t forced to engage at all times!
I don’t like dismounting just to gank when I’m on a long walk. But in quest areas I’ve tried picking a lot of fight… I’ve lost pretty much all of them. I’m very bad lol. So I’ve been avoiding pvp more since I just feel like a free kill atm.
Ranking was fun and competitive with the old system. Especially on fresh servers, it was a pvp game in itself.
Sure you can give a bunch of chess pieces to children and they can have fun playing around with them… But we want to play an actual game of chess.
Ranking had winners and loser, while it is grindy it is a game. And pvp skill matters so much when ever encounter will be a fight. Servers right now feel like pve servers in contrast to a real fresh.
But sure enjoy running around ganking the noobs while most skilled players aren’t bothering to fight - that’s what the meta is dictating.
Ranking under the old system was full of cheaters who bought gold, account shared, and participated in pool parties.

No what you want is to have your premade in the BG dodging other premades because it’s sub-optimal to have PVP in your PVP grind.

wPVP has winners and losers.
Loser gets a Ghost walk.

Only the meta slaves are obeying that.
Some people know how to have fun with a video game.
Edit:
Also I’m forcing people to PVP.
I’ve been sitting on the road next to the meeting stone leading to SM for like 3 days murdering any Alliance that pass.
Yesterday there was 4 of us doing it and there was a solid hour where the Alliance couldn’t even get to SM.
I’m not even gonna bother, if you can’t see why ranking while leveling makes the server have 100x more pvp that’s on you.
Ranking system while leveling leads to more disadvantaged ganking because people aren’t interested in PVP they want the honor points so they take the path of least resistance.
They changed up the Honor system release to coincide with the BGs this time because of people forming 40 man raids and literally farming other players until they quit playing the game.

Did I kill you outside of SM with zero mobs on you while you had 100% life and mana while being within a level range that I would get an HK from you?
just the way you talk is proof you are not enough good at pvp to kill me
SM is full of horde, don’t expect alliance to run here with the intention of PvPing, they rush to the instance
and you can’t kill me i play on EU servers
