Sorry, but you can’t force people, that pay/work subscription fees, to play a GAME
your way. They pay their dues/ or work to buy subs, to play WoW however they choose…just like you…
If you want people to play your way, you can always play Minecraft or something…
you all hearing this joker?
Im talking high levels LITERALLY…ganking lowbies and this circus shows says “level doesnt matter” lmao.
CLEARLY the peyote isnt helping son
Level ABSOLUTELY MATTERS when 70s are ganking 30s, LOLOL
As someone who’s been playing since the game released world pvp was never great. Back in vanilla there were huge, server lagging world pvp battles between TM and GS, leading up to the release of BGs. But due to faction imbalance we often ended up outnumbered and forced into to the AV cave (where the elite guards would stop the zerg). Once the BGs dropped, people did that, as farming kills for honor in the open world became an inferior method. Nothing since to my recollection has even come close to that. There were some decent enemy capitol invasions, but I haven’t seen that happen in years. Arenas killed large scale PVP.
I was once an avid PVPer but I have no interest in ganking, and rarely flagged when doing PVE content. It’s just an annoyance when questing and whatnot, and there were always far too many people who derived their pleasure not from genuine contests (which can be easily found in designated areas), but from vexing other players as much as possible. I’ve no sympathy for that lot nor do I miss the old system.
Turns out most people on pvp servers found out they don’t like Wpvp and turned war mode off.
My server was a pvp server and everyone I play with have war mode off now. I used to always have it on but during shadowlands there were kill squads in The Maw so I turned it off. Not being able to help summon people when doing raid or m+ is what makes me keep it off.
So if blizzard could do something to get people to group up to Wpvp against other Wpvp groups and put summoning stones in the dungeons then I’d turn it back on.
I’ve had war mode on since war mode has existed. There’s more world PVP with it than before. Before you had all of horde PVP players on Illidan and all of Alliance players on Sargeras and there wasn’t any PvP.
Warmode was a huge success. It gave people the option for pvp. You werent stuck with the choice of full time pvp or not. It has become fully optional with the ability to say “eh, not feeling it today.” The only reason you would say its a failure is because there are no longer easy ganks. No more camping lowbies endlessly. No more dropping on people half dead killing an elite. And im sorry, but you have to accept the fact that no one wants to be content for other people to quote asmo
War mode has been an unmitigated success because the only people who has been negatively impacted by it are folks who gank low level characters. For everyone else, Warmode is the exact same thing that PvP was at the endgame like it has always been.
