You could, you know, turn it off.

I’m not sure what the point of this thread is. You can turn warmode off and on almost at will.

If they removed WM and gave PvP servers back then we’d have to see the spam threads about PvP on PvP servers again. Aren’t the PvP in WM threads enough?

It’s as good an idea as separating twinks from regular BGs was.
Warmode has killed any hope of spontaneous overworld PvP.
It, along with pathfinder, SUCKS

Translation : “Oh noes, unlike people on PvP servers, I can’t really gank unsuspecting targets in WM because they actually expect PvP to happen! Blizz please give me my Griefing servers back!”.
No. WM best change.

Warmode is for leveling not pvp. Just do late night leveling and once you max out turn it off and forget about it. You’ll see more people on the PVE world because there is no real reason to stay warmode unless you like to be harassed while you do your chores.

I generally like warmode, but I’d have to agree that it should be removed because the war is supposed to be over. Just replace it with a general free for all pvp mode like you get when you enter certain designated world arena areas.

Not gonna happen.
Game is called World of Warcraft not World of Carebears. plenty of games that are carebear oriented. FF14 to name one.

Removing Warmode at this stage is impossible.
They have gone as far as removing the PvP Server rulesets and classifications. Imagine all the people who decided to transfer servers based on that new freedom, or new players who never knew PvP vs PvE servers existed in the first place.
You re-implement server types without literally giving every single player in the game a free transfer to anywhere they want to go, and you end up trapping people on servers they have no desire to be on through no fault of their own – rather, it would be Blizzard’s fault, as opposed to dead realms which are largely a result of players leaving over time as opposed to direct Blizzard actions.
And if you DO give every player a free transfer, you instantly destabilize most non-High pop/Full pop realms and the entire game’s population ends up on a dozen servers with no realistic way to fix things. So that’s not a real option.

You obviously never engaged in a spontaneous PvP battle overworld. Believe me, they were a total BLAST.
Gone now because of WM… where you have to go to a major city to flag; you are separated by phasing from the rest of the world and there is no possibility of just spontaneously joining in a battle.
It’s a total bore and a trainwreck.
Quite the opposite. In WM, all it takes is one guy to start a massive brawl at a WQ objective, just because he couldn’t wait his turn. I’ve seen it happen multiple times, where a power hungry dirty Elf Paladin chucks a Judgment at the tank holding a WQ elite, and then it’s game time.

YAWN…
I prefer my spontaneity… spontaneous. This is not. It is a screaming, raging bore.
You keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

I am in exceptional command of my vocabulary, thank you.
When you have to go to a major city to flag yourself, that is not spontaneous.
When you’re standing in the middle of XR and some flagged Alliance starts a fight, you can decide then and there, whether to flag yourself and participate.
Can you imagine, having to fly to Org or TB first? LOL
HAHA what a joke…
So, don’t be a coward and just leave it on. Then it happens… spontaneously?

I prefer questing in peace. If the majority of overworld PvP actually involved opponents of like level or near as, it would actually be fun (this is why I prefer BGs).
But most overworld PvP involves some idiot high levels ganking and camping low level players, and quest wrecking.
It doesn’t take courage to open yourself up to this kind of abuse. . . just stupidity… or a desire for victimhood.

Imagine thinking you need to actually do this often. I usually turn it on patch day, and turn it off when I stop needing the AP +% boost. So it’s just on for weeks.
I’m willing to bet most people don’t turn it on and off daily.
If you’re in WM on, you get to join.
I can’t imagine someone that wants to engage in wPvP not having WM on by default all the time no, that scenario seems like fake forum outrage meant as bait for a Sunday thread.

That’s not how I play. I preferred it the way it was before. I usually run around unflagged. If a fight started near me, I would join in. I didn’t have to be “one or the other” all the time; I didn’t have to travel anyway to flag myself; and it was fun fun fun. You are free to disagree.
I always had a blast and continue to do so. But overworld PvP is dead to me in retail. Happily, I can enjoy it the old fashioned way in Classic.
you know you can still enable pvp … right?
it’s not the same thing as warmode.
