so umm. actually my title should be ‘pvp will be getting worse for players who 1) do not raid 2) only join pvp as a pug player’
meh. this might all bore you, but otherwise read on. i will NOT talk about maps, racials, or any of that stuff. there are two things that will make pvp worse as time goes on. i played vanilla, and stuff is sort of happening close to what i remember. i am playing alliance right now (wish i would have stayed with horde lol).
to begin - a short example of how gear will change. i was watching a youtube video the other day and somebody was showing an example (i think a paladin) of tier 0, 1, and 2(nax?). tier 0 was about 3k hp and mana. tier 2 was about 4500 hp and mana. basically about 50% stronger in terms of wrong numbers. so let’s look at the 3 battlegrounds, how i remember them, and why stuff will get worse for a stinking casual pugger like me.
-
AV - alliance (my faction at this point) really made a total mess of this with premades. in vanilla i do not remember premades in AV. and feel free to correct me if you played vanilla and remember different. despite everything, in the end, AV might end up being the most fun for a player such as myself. with a mixture of tier 0, 1, and 2 on both sides it might be semi decent (if alliance learn to play lol). but in a way it will still suck for me. the longer the expansion goes on, and because i do not raid, i will be weaker and weaker against the geared out raiders. it will get to a point where i wont even see their health bar move when i hit them.
-
WSG - please everybody stop complaining about premades for WSG. it was always like this. from freaking day one. if you are in a pug you will get stomped and it will just get worse and worse as we get closer and closer to the last phase. it sucked in vanilla unless you were in a premade, and it sucks now. stop complaining.
-
AB - my memory might be bad on this but i think AB has always been premades too (feel free to correct me if my memory is bad). so yes, AB will only get worse and worse if you pug it as time goes on.
for any of you that played vanilla, and kept playing wow, you realize that premades vs. pugs is a hallmark of what blizz thinks is fun pvp. it has ALWAYS freaking been this way. ALWAYS. i do not agree with this design, but it has always been this way since day one.
so please stop the complaints against premades in WSG and soon to be AB. you are getting the ‘vanilla’ experience (and beyond). and just realize that as higher tiers come out, that if you do not raid and are not in a premade (to get better gear), your pvp experience is just going to get worse and worse. this is how it was in vanilla. sorry.
have a fun day all!!!
