Is classic being ruined on purpose?

So ever since phase 2 and the introduction of honor the game has become unplayable on pvp servers. Did they introduce honor without battlegrounds as a middle finger to all the users that would rather play classic than the failing pile of garbage that is retail?

I love how I’m on a full pvp server but can’t transfer to a lower population pve server. Guess I’ll just let my subscription run out until phase 3. Shame, I just came back after over a year off due to the release of classic.

If they’re going to try to force people to play retail because developers got their feelings hurt I say good riddance.

Because people wanted the vanilla experience? Vanilla had a period (of less than 2 months) where honor existed without BGs

It wasn’t finalized but the original 4 phase plan probably would have included BGs and honor together, people COMPLAINED LIKE CRAZY, and now we have what we have now

Yes exactly, this is how it was.

Always funny to hear people on PvP servers crying about PvP. As if we didn’t know exactly what was going to happen.

No this is not classic this is some rando version with 3-4 times the number of players on every server making every zone essentially unplayable if you’re the outnumbered faction. Also because we live in 2019 with the internet everyone figured out that horde was the superior pvp faction so here we are.

Providing a period of world pvp before the introduction of Battleground’s was a wonderful idea. The problem is Blizzards lack of foresight on handling the faction imbalance.

So…

People complained about Honor for PvP, they wanted it NOW, it was given to them… and they are complaining?

Are you folks ever happy?

Nothing is ruined. Welcome to classic wow on a pvp server. I dont understand why people complain about pvp on a pvp server…

This is rhetorical, right?

Exactly, what we are getting now is a player-requested adherence to #nochanges that sprang out of the good intentions of replicating the Vanilla patch history.

The problem is that Vanilla patches were mostly sprung upon unsuspecting players, whereas Classic players are anticipating and preparing extensively for these patches.

Thus we have faction-imbalanced servers and graveyards being camped on Day 1 of the honor system. The game is Vanilla-like, but the players are not.

WoW Classic had so much promise. Now that they’re adding all the miserable crap that turned retail into a giant pile of garbage in the first place I guess I’ll start looking for 3rd party vanilla servers to play on.

Thanks Blizzard!

You didn’t do your research before rolling on a…gasp…PVP SERVER? Where…another gasp…PvP actually happens out in the world?

This is the first time I have seen a 24 hour period referenced as “ever since”.

Everyone on a pvp server and complaining about pvp, should be shown the door, back to bfa. Unless you are specifically lobbying for faction ratio queues, you deserve no sympathy.

op what faction are you on classic? are you the dominant faction for your realm? did you know what “pvp server” meant when you made your character?

Just roll on a PvE server with the rest of us. We PvP but we choose when to do it.

I’m alliance on classic and we’re outnumber 3 to 1 on a full server. Yes I know what pvp means. I’ve literally been playing on pvp servers since the original wow before burning crusade.

PVP was fine until the honor system came out with no battlegrounds. Now horde camps every flight path and questing area and you can’t get anything done.
