Why are most people going to a PvP server? ⚔

I hope you understand that in vanilla you can’t change servers. There was no transfer character at the time so i take it we might not be able to transfer are characters once created on a server. So if you think about playing the system in place by leveling on a pve server and then transfer to a pvp server and cut in line to raid or grief players in Wpvp then this wont work.

You will still have to reroll on a pvp server and level up like everyone by getting ganked.

Edit : This is why pvp players roll on pvp server and pve players roll on a pve server. They should never be mix because like it happen back in the days pve players will request change on pvp servers to lower the difficulties for them to raid or rp and that will destroy classic wow like it did in the past.

If you are going down the chain, you were doing it the long way.
It’s faster to jump down.

You mean like taking Halaa in Nagrand in TBC?

I kill people because it’s fun to PVP and corpse runs suck. I’m not a mind reader. I have no idea of that cute button gnome is gonna gank me at 10% health or not. So i inflict the corpse run on other people instead.

Plus red is dead, that’s just common sense

World PVP, that is the only reason to play pvp servers… simple answer sure you can do it on a pve server if you flag yourself but its no fun if you want to go gank someone and be an A**.

This is false. There were server transfers in vanilla. However I believe they will not allow a pve to pvp transfer.

PvP is way more fun. Love the thrill of being able to gank or be ganked. I dont understand PVE or RP realms tbh.

That’s the point in grinding out that sweet gear, if you can’t feel like a boss out in world server? Like when you see an enemy player rocking sweet gear, and you avoid or pray they don’t attack you, all the while being envious of them… thinking that will be you some day.

But on a pve server, it doesn’t matter if you are all in greens or epics… everyone is the same. How boring is that? There is literally no point to the game. Sure leveling is a bit easier… but it’s not worth it because there are always alternative ways to level when getting ganked.

So you are so bad at pvp you rely on gear to win?

Nineball-bleeding-hollow · July 13, 2019, 3:20am

Warrior relies on gear yes. Did you play Vanilla? How many fresh 60 Wars did you see destroying ppl in Wpvp?

But realistically, 90% of the WoW population are bad and rely on gear to win. (if you wPvP’d in Vanilla you would know that though)

Bainsly-bleeding-hollow · July 13, 2019, 3:26am

I think its due to the excitement of having to watch ur a@@ while levelling. Other than hardcore pvpers, that’s the reason I see. My first character was rogue on Aegwynn. I don’t think it was a rp server back then, it was just the first one on the list and I was a noob but it worked out great. Levelling as a rogue on a pvp server is amazing because you get to choose ur encounters. I’m gonna main a priest this go round and it should be interesting. Random, huge battles in Hillsbrad are not to be underestimated. It may be worth the frustration of levelling on a pvp server just to experience this sort of battle. It’s definitely one of the most awesome experiences that I can remember in wow. I just try to avoid stranglethorn all together when possible. Open pvp can be immersive and awesome and a lot of the time tedious and discouraging. You are asking a very viable question and i’m sure some people that roll on a pvp server will question their choice at one time or another.

Ziryus-doomhammer · July 13, 2019, 3:29am

Right so pvp in WoW is largely just about gear/class and not skill.

Nineball-bleeding-hollow · July 13, 2019, 3:31am

Do you think otherwise?

Ziryus-doomhammer · July 13, 2019, 3:32am

Nope

Zin-blackrock · July 13, 2019, 3:34am

Don’t forget boys. Rolling on a PVP realm is consent to be killed on sight by scumbags like me. No complainy on forumy about your own choices!

Ziryus-doomhammer · July 13, 2019, 3:38am

Yep keep this in mind when servers end up imbalanced

Zin-blackrock · July 13, 2019, 3:39am

I’d certainly hope no one complains about either thing. Both are ensured to happen and both can be avoided entirely on realm select.

Ziryus-doomhammer · July 13, 2019, 3:42am

So you want servers that are 100% horde and no alliance and servers that are 100% alliance with no horde?

Zin-blackrock · July 13, 2019, 3:43am

What a strange hyperbole. I want to PVP while questing, nothing more, and a PVP server is the best place for that.

Hothwompa-coilfang · July 13, 2019, 2:52pm

Chete:

Pvp players for the most part feel, and can argue effectively, that pvp servers offer a better total gaming experience for both pve and pvp. Progression carry’s more weight and a greater sense of accomplishment when on a pvp server because of the challenges of the pvp server.

Well no, they can argue that for them personally a pvp server might be better, they can’t argue that it is better for anyone else. And people have given plenty of reasons why they find pvp servers worse in terms of immersion and progression for them personally.

Because objectively the only difference between a pvp and a pve server is that on a pvp server players of the other faction can be attacked without their consent. Other than that the two server types are exactly the same. So for someone who doesn’t care about wpvp a pvp server is actually a far worse chose.

Some would argue consent is given when one chooses to roll on a pvp server.

100% Spot on.
