Yea, warmode dropped DURING legion. Prepatches, who knew. Kind of wild that I did wpvp all legion then miraculously after prepatch dropped, wpvp declined. Of course it picked back up again a bit during early bfa, but then fell off and just kept declining.
It was. Not being able to turn it off, forced interaction.
Can’t tell you how many server wars I started back in mop.
Yea SINCE warmode was added.
And just because you remove the label, doesn’t change the fact that a lot of us rolled on those servers for the pvp exerperience.
More so removing permanent pvp killed wpvp.
“No one” as in the general wow experience.
If you turn on warmode now, you’ll see people farming or ganking. Not much of what you’d normally do in warmode.
Prior, you’d just play. Sometimes pvp would happen. Sometimes it wouldn’t. Sometimes you’d get camped. Sometimes you’d do the camping.
Sometimes you’d invite some people from the zone because you were getting 1v3’d. Then they’d invite more. Then you’d invite more.
Next thing you know, you have 2 40 man raids going against each other in a zone.
That doesn’t really happen anymore. Now you turn it on if there is a thing you want, but it’s never up under warmode off, or you just want to camp people.
