Try playing a healer, you can’t control your character about 50% of the time. You are constantly in the million CCs they need to prune. Also how about we get some balance changes? 90% of the game is warriors because they are brokenly OP.
This game will be empty in a month, just like the other classic expansions. Anything past TBC is not worth anyones time.
I’m not trying to be mean but if pvp is your thing why are you playing WOW? There are so many actual fun player vs players games out right now. Brand new games! That the devs actually care about and aren’t riding out rehashes for paychecks until they get canned.
It’s been OVER 20 years and I’ve never seen pvp in this game make people happy.
Sounds like you should install retail, did you know it comes with your MOP classic sub?
Healers are immortal gods and CC was pruned and nerfed into the ground in DF.
This is why they made the changes in retail to CC. 8 seconds CC is way too much, especially with abilities that doesn’t DR on top of it. For example 8 second fear followed by 4 sec fear DR then 2 sec. Thats 14 seconds. A cyclone followed by another 6 sec. 20 secs of CC.
I was an original mist pvper. My enhance shaman blowing all his CDs and melting people was the only fun to be had. If you didn’t have every single CD up you would never kill anyone. It was not fun
I’ve enjoyed pvp in wow for most of the lifespan. There’s always been issues, but they didn’t used to feel systemic… Maybe glaive rogues in tbc, but in og tbc it’s not like glaive rogues where flooding the game.
Classic has been a different beast where it feels like every minor Crack in the dam is causing a complete dam failure/tsunami.
Tbc for example wasn’t so heavily horde lopsided for pvp in og, but was in Classic… Glaive rogues where all over the damn place in Classic… Realms got super imbalanced/single faction WAY faster… And emfh broke pvp WAY faster.
You did still have premades back then, but past vanilla it was never like it is currently where there’s constant premades just relentlessly stomping pugs… And even in og wod, when arena level faction balance was very close to as bad as late Cata classic was, I never once felt like I was straight wasting my time playing horde… Hell I geared up something like 8 different characters (all horde) per season in wod, and it was only in arenas that you really started feeling the human racial issue…
This is the first and only time in the game’s history the problem feels systemic to me… To the point where the fixes involve radically changing things the game has done (like x-faction instanced pvp) , or just bleeding out players. Fair, Fun, and Rewarding are the only three things required for a good competive game…right now pvp has zero of those three things.
The playerbase knows all the cracks in the dam, and everyone is piling through them and causing the dam to fail.
