Why does the general WoW player base hate PvP?

Community General Discussion

I read on Reddit that only 10% of the population plays Rated PvP and that kinda sucks to hear because PvP is the only skill based activity in WoW imo.

I tried getting into M+/Raids and it’s cool, I can see the hype for it but this is because Blizzard pumps most of their resources and funds into it.

PvP on the other hand gets zero funding, all we get is an AWC and we haven’t gotten a single new BG map in a while and on top of that we have no real events funded by Blizzard either.

People need to start PvPing more, i’m tired of PvP not getting the attention it deserves when it should be bigger than both M+ and Raids.

But every spec has representation on the ladder at a high level, you don’t see that with M+/Raids.

I would be surprised if it’s even that high.

… oh nvm… one of these threads. :roll_eyes:

Yes you do. Don’t get me wrong they vary widely, but they exist

The worst PvP specs can hit Glad, the worst PvE Specs won’t even get raid invites.

That’s also not universally true. It’s fun to say and it does happen sometimes. But not universally true

I always PvP’d more than PvE’d.

As a now-casual, I just find unrated to be fun.

And that will never change.

Warsong Gulch for life.

Yeah, it’s always unbalanced, but so is PvE. Everyone complains about how good Outlaw Rogues are and how they are hopelessly left in the dust, for example.

There are just too many factors to balance classes within acceptable parameters.

That, and the level to entry is higher than M+

You need to know the ins and outs of each class, their defensives, cooldowns, etc.

PvP requires you to be more knowledgeable about each other class, not just your own.

So many new PvPer’s I’ve seen that just run in to die, not doing objectives. :smiling_face_with_tear: Wish the game had a proving grounds for PvP, lol.

because i suck so horribly bad at it.

The leggings I got were from a WQ in a Pvp area. I think that Alliance BoomChicken killed me 12-15 times in a row before he got bored farming me and let me finish the quest.
He did have around +40 ilvls on me though. So with my level of “skill” the outcome was pretty much predetermined. :sweat_smile:

Well there’s no reason to pump much resources in pvp. A new map every once in a while and you guys are set for a whole expansion.

Opinions are entirely subjective. You provided your proof as to why you think PvP is great, my opinion is that PvP hasn’t been entertaining for me since Wintergrasp during Wrath. You’re not going to change my mind, I’m not going to change yours; we like different things for different reasons.

You can’t do that while you are stunned.

WoW is not a PvP game

I used to do a ton of battlegrounds. I didn’t mind losing to other players because they were just better. I despised losing and not even getting to fight back. The cc just drove me away.

I can’t speak to how it is now but it chased me away for good.

You sound like a hardcapped seasonal rival player

I think all non-raid content should get more attention than they do. I don’t PvP much (definitely not rated), but I do think it’s pretty unfortunate that we haven’t seen a new battleground in a while.

Solo Shuffle is a neat new idea. I’d like to see more ideas to bring PvP back to everyone. It seems like most of the innovation in PvP happens in World PvP/War Mode…which is awesome for some folks, but I’m only interested in a controlled competitive environment nowadays.

I’m not so concerned about balancing. Give us all crazy Torghast powers and let us go nuts. Brawls are probably my favorite current PvP thing because they feel less predictable.

I like PvP and dislike it because someone has to lose for the other to win! :c
