Why is Warmode dying?

Community General Discussion

From the very person who brought you the popular why is Mythic dying thread.

Why is Warmode dying I see less and less people using it. Horde on other hand keep complaining that Alliance dont want to use it ?

I see it due to massive ganking from Horde side… Sure Alliance does it too just not in as big of numbers.

So everyone please explain the true symptoms and the causes of warmode dying.

Extreme faction imbalance.

Turns out less people playing the game causes less player activity.

Because the idea of getting corpse camped has always turned folks away from PvP servers. Throw that with sharding technology being wack and you have even less participation.

Maybe because there are not very many players who enjoy world PVP? I mean really is pretty pointless once your at max level. ITs ok for leveling because of the xp boost (especially on a horde toon) but the moment you hit 120 not much reason to leave it on.

Maybe it was a feature that should have never been implemented? Perhaps they should have just stuck with PVP and PVE servers.

Turns out when an mmo is dying it has less players, less players will cause war mode to die.

Faction imbalance on WM combined with rewards being lackluster.

An extra like 35 Artifact power isn’t worth being camped by some like 8/8 M-titanforged raider. When I was leveling my Tauren on WM, literally only ran into two alliance people who actually wanted to fight fair at my level, the rest were 120s camping lower-leveled areas.

Although when I was in Tanaan, there was this nice 120 Pally who /kissed me and let me Hearth safety.

I never had Horde camping the graveyard, but I have seen Alliance doing exactly that.

The reason is simple… you give people all the perks about being on one of the older pvp servers - such as more people to play the pve aspects aka raids with the ability to turn off PvP.

These people rolled on faction dominated servers at one point or another then complained when CRZ meant the opposing faction started to appear to oppose them. They flooded the forum with tears until Blizz gave them the holy grail of being able to roll wherever they want and turn off pvp.

That is why world PvP is dying off faster than ever before.

Last time it happened, I was still stronger than the Alliance rogue trying that crap even at 25% power, and he had to get a buddy to rescue him. They left that graveyard really quick afterwards

I had friends showing up, and we chased them out of the area.

Lipstick on an ugly pig doesn’t make it any prettier. Blizzard can’t and won’t balance World PVP. War Mode is just lipstick on an ugly unbalanced system.

We answer this about 2 times a week. Pvp is not fun and people who do not find it fun will never turn on war mode for any reason. And no amount of bonus will ever get us to turn it on

I do sometimes. it was not far from a flight path and I repair and wait the 10 minutes plotting how I would hunt the wafflehunter down and repeat the Make love not warcraft achievement on him

For years and years people claim they like World PvP because they enjoyed a challenge. They wanted to fight thinking opponents and not robot mobs. They wanted to have a fair fight.

Turns out, as many of us always thought, the people who like World PvP really just like ganking lower level characters or ganging up in ten to one fights. And they whine when it turns out, everyone is equal and able to provide a fair fight.

Warmode works exactly as intended. It revealed the utter hypocrisy of World PvP fans.

I play to enjoy my time in game. I do nothing i dislike.

I think sharding has alot to do with it, some want better incentives. I’m not a big pvper but I run WM 24/7, just turn it on and it on always. I’d say like 98% of my guild and friends have it on also. I don’t really care about incentives personally, the few extra talents are cool. Too bad they don’t work in dungeons or raids that might be something nice if they changed people would use it more I dunno.

I’d leave Warmode on if it was a 100% boost to rep. That isn’t happening sooo.
