Ah, that’s junky… my memory has obviously faded quite a bit about this, as I didn’t really pay attention to it too much.
Even though BGs OBVIOUSLY was the biggest impact on world pvp, I think if they actually did something that was similar to wintergrasp for vanilla it would have been great, on top of removing DHKs.
Whether or not you hated WotLK, wintergrasp gave you a REAL reason to participate in world pvp. If they maybe gave these events give you honor that was meaningful maybe more people would have chosen to do open world pvp for their honor instead of spamming AB all day.
