Wow PvP is so dead

Still waiting to game. I scan the horizon every morning. Looking for an oversized brown cow to join doors and I on our march towards the gates of hell (shadow cleave and jungle).

The problem I see is people stick to their contacts and new comers have hard time finding anyone.

Unfortunately I work 8-3 every day +/- an hour before or after on most days, so mornings are tough! I do love a good pre-primetine queue session, though!

I’ve played with doors several times and it was a lot of fun! Rshaman, mw, and disc!!! Nothing will beat the 11 minute game of arms+rshaman vs mw+arcane mage where he spent literally 12 seconds chasing the mage in ghost wolf to warstomp him (dr) instead of dispelling my root or subsequent polymorph.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard in arena

That’s definitely part of it and is also a HUGE problem in PVE. People are (understandably) always searching for the path of least resistance and would oftentimes rather wait hours for someone with 2x the rating/xp to play at lower mmr games. It’s the same thing with M+ and raid.

Gentleman hours.

We typically play in the evenings. 7/7:30 - 9 PM. I don’t play in the morning as I’m highly ritualized and have a certain system to ensure max performance throughout my workday. This is why I’m wildly successful and super rich. Doors really appreciates eccentric idiosyncratic behaviors. Just ask him.

What timezone? I’m EST

EST as well.

People can’t anyway. I was doing some screw around 3s with an M-glad and a 3k XP DPS last week, and while we weren’t playing a meta comp, even games we were winning blew (at 1600-1700 mmr).

No sane human being with an adult schedule has time to close that kind of skill gap. Lol

I show no mercy.

There’s no incentive
The 1800 mogs aren’t even good this season, the anniversary ones are better. The glad mount sucks, the seasonal mount sucks and the progress if bugged. All I do is PvP and I spend 90% f my time in Random BGs and wPvP, these areas are actually fun and thriving

This I think is one reason I’m struggling big-time. I desperately want to be good at PvP but having a fulltime job that requires travel and 3-kids makes it astonishingly difficult to spend time learning my class.

It’s fun but insanely complicated, especially to excel at.

You act like addons are some hard thing to manage.

Warcraft has some of the easiest addon management in the industry. You don’t even need a manager for it, you can just straight download and install into the folder with ease.

Try elder scrolls online addons without Minion installed and then come back and complain about WoW addons again

maybe they’re an IRL queen or so

Pvp reward structure sux.

The “good” rewards are basically the elite mogs ( sometimes depending on class/season), the weapon enchant ( barely/sometimes) and the glad mount.

Titles , although prestigeous if we’re talking top end, are largely unattainable (same for the mount) for 99% of the playerbase. And the gladiator equivalent ranks for shuffle and blitz (legend/strategist) have no real rewards.

Imagine if 99% of pvers couldnt get the prestigeous rewards from m+/raids, pve would be dead.

The pvp reward progression structure needs to change, it is the biggest contributor to pvp participation.

and chill streak and DHs :dracthyr_nod: :+1:

I think wow pvp just is what it is.

Being attached to an MMO makes the barrier to entry huge for anyone that isnt interested in MMO things. I think this is where a lot of potential player base is lost.

Being attached to an MMO also means its an afterthought to the real MMO parts, raiding/M+/new content. So you will never get balance updates in a reasonable timeframe for pvp.
