BGs are here and have always been here for one reason. To test out the best gear in the game by Globaling and completely stomping your enemy. We play this game to get BiS items then test their Epic power by farming HKs and breaking the spirits of the other faction.
BGs aren’t competitive and aren’t supposed to be. There will always be undergeared noobs learning the ropes in a BG and it’s your job to Delete them and beat on them till they work hard to acquire great gear and then it’s their turn to beat on noobs. It’s a cycle or initiation.
BGs are supposed to be fun because you feel completely overpowered in an PvP environment that is designed for casual play. Where you 1 vs 3 and win. Where you can easily dominate the other player until they get gear and become the dominators if they also have the skill to do so.
BGs and PvP is a 2 factor situation in WoW because it’s an RPG…First you need gear to compete then you need skill to use that gear. However in BGs there will always be undergeared so it isn’t much of a competition except for maybe competing with your own team on who can get the most KBs while farming their GY.
BGs are only fun if you feel overpowered. That is why they exist and why we continue to do them. If players wanted fair competition they will do something that has a MMR or Rating attached to it. So when I want more of a fair balanced fight I do Arena and when I want to Global someone I do BGs.
The best PvP game of all time was Diablo 2. I PvPed there for 6 years everyday before coming to WoW.
