Wow PvP is so dead

Wow pvp is so dead there hasn’t been any new gladiators players in over 4 years. The only way to get gladiator in Tww, DF and season 4 of SL is to have been gladiator before that.
When I see someone in warmode they are all 0 cr or at best 1.7k when in legion it was common to see people 2k and a lot of new pvpers. That’s when me and kalvish for exemple got into pvp. Then bfa came and the new pvpers were none existant and still is the case as of now.

Bring back legion pvp

Facts ! No tanks in pvp. Whenever I see one in rbgs, blitz, etc. I tell them to play feral spriest or hunter and that they are just as Tanky but do more dmg !

What incentive is there to get gladiator when you get 99% of the rewards for free at 1800?

I push for glad once an xpac to convince myself I’m only half washed. Otherwise the game is meant to just be fun for me - if I’m floating 1800-2.3 on different alts / characters and getting to play. It is really all I’m looking for out of the game anymore.

Ya, I grind glad for the mount and because I like playing with friends and I get the 1800 sets on every class because gotta get the mogs.

No real desire to push for titles since I already got one and I don’t wanna destroy my sleep schedule to get good at pvp again XD

It’s dead because this company puts little to no effort for lengthy periods of time. Things will be broken for weeks and even months.

You must either accept this is true and cope, or do other things.

the 1800 mogs is the way to go lol. I find the game balance / play is a chore list right now. You want to do your go as perfectly as possible but you’re fighting through 3-6 psuedos or disruptions. Take trying to get a stun fear silence on a shaman as a priest for example., I have to fight through, 1-2 groundings if he resets, tremor, knockback, lasso, root totem, static totem, dwarf + trinket. Its just a giant chore list of things to get through.

Another example is getting precog vs a rogue or any nightelf, you finally juke the kick, they cover with cloak, vanish, meld, etc.

edit: the chore list is just too much for too many classes, I’m not saying it should be removed to nothing but there should definitely be less to get through since everything is on 25-60 sec cds these days

The older I get, the less I play. And I genuinely just don’t like a lot of the wow arena community. A lot of people seem to have their entire personal identity intertwined with this game and it’s accolades. It’s very odd to me. So it’s tough to play the random game modes from time to time and be forced to play with people I never would probably associate with in my personal life.

Also, blizzard’s tuning this expansion has been absolutely chaotic or slow. And there’s no in between. Still love the game. And arena is unique, just wish it got some more TLC.

The secret is find your 3-5 people you enjoy playing with and ride it out until the game dies lol. I have the same friends to que with since wrath and rarely LFG

Deflation is still pretty bad in all brackets compared to previous seasons. Between that, the crappy meta, and long queue’s people are just like F it, and I don’t blame them. As usual, just q only at the end of the season. Apparently that’s what blizz wants?

3v3 is dead by design. The format didn’t adapt to the times.

WoW PvP isn’t dead.

there is literally only like 20k players that interact with the PvP in this game. This game is supposed to have around 10M regular players. The number of m+ i do and raids or even just the new anniversary events with people with 0 Honor lvl and 0 cr or at most like 10 games is 95%. THAT IS RIDICULOUSLY LOW.
at least half the people I inspect should have some pvp progress or participation, it’s literally half the game that people are missing on.

The PVP forums is at the bottom of the sections, right beside off-topic and LFG spam.

Did it even have to be said?

Bro that’d probably drive a lot of mid tier players if u put rewards higher. Not everyone has the contacts to play in set teams.

If that’s not an official announced number I wouldn’t put much weight into it.

The PvP balancing sucks, there are very few viable specs at a time, not to mention some brain child decided insta-cast abilities by range should hit harder then melee abilities. Cooldowns over 1:30 minutes are dumb. Every class has 100 forms of CC and there is no CC immunity unless you count DR, trinket should be 10 seconds immunity. The skill floor to ceiling is huge, and compounded by try hard add on programs makes casual playing not feasible. Could go on but won’t.

I get you. Also, I miss you. You and pears are the only DHs I accept or like. All the other ones are terrible and can’t read at a 4th grade level.

Blizzard really needs to restructure PvP too. It’s spread out too much between different game modes now.

I think that a huge reason that people are enjoying the game less is that it’s an MMO and people are ASKING for more solo options and less interactions. I recognize that it takes more work to meet and play regularly with people, and that the players who are good are not always the players that you like, but I also think that’s a player problem and nothing that design will ever fix.
