We already have war mode, it’s called PvE servers. Don’t enjoy world PvP? Play on a PvE server. End of discussion. Why was this question even in the survey?

I don’t agree. War mode makes sense. We don’t need PVP servers.
PVP servers are just griefing servers.
I should know, I do the griefing. For example, all I did Sunday was stop people from getting DMF buff.

You made a post about the survey decrying blizzard for polling warmode, among other things.
You are just a contrarian troll, this is why you hide your post history.

I think warmode is more a proposed cure to a symptom. The actual problem is the hard seperation of players via servers
We create these barriers to who we can and can’t do shared content with (raids, dungeons, BGs, arenas, auction house, etc.) because we seperate people based on if they want open world PVP or not
It feels like there is a way better way to do this in 2025. Not saying Warmode is the solution, either

I personally hate the idea of war mode because I only roll on PvP servers. But with war mode I would likely never turn it on, on purpose. I would have 1000 reasons not to, as would others. Because yeah at any given moment unexpected wpvp is probably going to seem annoying, but dealing with it is sometimes the best experience in the game.
I listed it because it’s controversial and I’m indifferent about getting it or not. I can see it’s benefits though.
Nice try lil guy

I agree with your post, in its entirety, but it’s worth mentioning that on Retail I believe they offer incentives for being in War Mode. I know if you level in War Mode you get increased XP for one, I think there’s some end-game currency incentives as well. On the whole though it’s rather underwhelming.
If Blizzard wanted to do War Mode in a Classic setting, they would really need to think hard about what might motivate people to turn it on in the first place, and continue to be motivating after level cap or some arbitrary progression milestone.
Its perfect, the people who want to pvp against you will pvp against you and the people who don’t, won’t. The only “argument” against war mode is “but it will be harder to gank lowbies :(”

You mean like what we already have with PvE servers?

I’m going to disagree with that.
So the message here is “we want to play on a pvp server but don’t want to deal with pvp consequences”.
Oh wait… this is for bot proliferation isn’t it?
Bots can just happily farm on pvp servers with no consequence

I totally agree.
Yeah, because it forces everybody to play on PVE servers, or not play.

You can flag yourself for PVP anytime you want in warmode and you even get rewards for it.
The only thing warmode stops is camping lowbies and griefing.
It literally doesn’t. You still put yourself at risk of getting camped, which is why it gives huge exp boosts if you turn it on. If anything warmode makes ganking worse because when you can turn on pvp like a light switch, anyone who has it turned on is always out for blood.
Yeah, same as PVE servers.
Why cater to people who need to be rewarded for WPVP? Just keep PVP servers. Go ahead and remove PVE servers, but warmode sucks; it just kills PVP servers. That’s all it does, and then it adds welfare rewards for turning PVP on on PVE servers.
No thank you.

You can’t turn off PVP on a PVP server at all so it’s not like that.
War mode is better. You can turn off PVP and go do something in the world.
It’s literally just better.
Exactly.
Yeah exactly, stop dividing the servers and just let warmode exist for the 2 people who want to wpvp
That’s why PVP servers are bad.
You are acting like I’m a victim. I’m the griefer. I grief people. No one griefs me.
Stop acting like I’m mad about dying on PVP servers.
I never die unless I allow it.
PvP balance is forced and nightslayer is the most popular server.
Mind explaining how PvP servers existing hurts you when you just play on a pve server?
I’m not acting like you’re a victim, I’m rejecting your claims. If you think warmode is better, that is because Normal servers don’t have an incentive to turn PVP on, and you want one.
But much worse, you want to force all the players who prefer PVP servers to stop being able to play on them. You can already turn PVP on on a Normal server, so if anybody actually wanted to be able to toggle, they could just play on Normal servers.
