There are quite a few easy options out there that would bring people back into PvP. Bring the Ashenvale event up to level 60 and buff the WSG rewards to SE levels. Add a new token to the event so that exalted players still have to participate to buy the items. Make a rank 15 that includes updated HWL gear to compete with SE’s gear.
Make the bonuses on these items actually worth using over SE’s tier pieces. Things like ice block heals X% per second, Deterrence also blocks spells for 5 seconds, Mortal Strike penetrates 50% of target’s armor and does 20% more damage.
For PvE, flesh out the New Avalon zone. Lots of potential to add things to do there. Add a new reputation grind with dailies and cosmetics.

And this explains why I don’t want to play SOD…but hey, PVPers can if they like…np.
And you sir are missing out. Even with all its flaws SOD is the best wow version currently out. Its so alt friendly (well except for SE). lol
There is so much blizzard can do with SOD and PvP should be the next focus since they can fall on there will no other new pve material. If SOD is to remain alive forever just little pvp balances/added features will be enough to keep a lot of us happy and sub.

they need to tune the outlier abilities in PvP.
- Killshot and T3.5 multishot
- Starfall and Starfire
- Living bomb with t3.5 bonus
- Ashbringer proc should not be your top damage output
- MoM proc icd like torment trinket

Sure both can be done. Some balancing changes and some PvP content.

Yeah PVP needs a facelift to bring in more players. I support this idea 100%

With respect, for an older player like me, it takes a special sort of masochism to do anything PVP related. You do you, but for me? Hard pass, thanks.
I really liked the bounty system, from what i read/heard r15 would be kinda like that, sounds really good if this was introduced.

Add queue from anywhere in the world from mini map icon and then return to that location after the game.
Incentive BGs with reals or something like reals so you can make some golds for playing BGs.
Improve the afk report system so that afk people actually get removed.
Give us rated battlegrounds / arenas

There is absolutely no need to focus on anything related to pvp anymore. In fact, there never was.
It would arguably be better than nothing, which is what we’re getting for the remainder of SoD (nothing).
Wrong. PVP is already pretty good but it has a bad rep. There are a few outliers in need of a nerf, but I can count them on one hand.

PvP in classic is literally a side quest. It’s not and will never be a focus for the Dev team.
Any adjustments they realistically try to do make will also nerf the hell out of something in PvE which is actually pretty balanced over all right now.
Just give it up.

Ashenvale and Blood Moon were equal parts to the early phase 1 and 2 releases. They were also heavily participated in and provided content outside of BFD/gnomer to actually use the gear for something. Just because you do not enjoy it, does not mean a large portion of the classic population doesn’t. PvE content is great, but that is far less likely to hit a minor patch than some PvP adjustments.

Ashenvale for level 60 that gave bloodcoins from STV would be 1 perfect addition imo. They could also add in code that layers low level players during the event (but people aren’t really questing through there these days anyway)

If they want to fix SoD PvP they need to start nerfing the S-Tier classes like Shamans, Druids and Hunters. Unfun clownfiesta for melee classes.
Honestly don’t understand how
- hunters are still spamming one ability in both PvE and PvP.
- shamans have insanely high damage reductions with 2 passive abilities whilst doing good damage+having sustain.
- boomies far nuking most
- defenders resolve from tanks allowing them to kill people rather then just be tanky in PvP wihout the damage
For sure, the one tap ret twisting is also a problem. Those 4 need some balancing.
one tap on players with less then 3k life or what?
Lmao here we go. Hunter might be S++++ tier, but ret is definitely in the realm of those other 3.
