The above examples are no merely ‘participating’. They are trolly toxic behaviors specifically to tilt or annoy another player(s) to the emotional benefit of the dominant player/faction. These are not wpvp - when the victim has no chance of fighting back it’s just harassment.
If you think that inting is wpvp, you’re part of the problem.
world pvp isn’t about fairness. You’re thinking of a battleground or an arena
I never said fair. I said fun. If both sides are not having fun, then you are just creating an environment where one side is going to leave and the ‘winners’ get left wondering why there’s no one left.
Keep in mind that Faerlina was a very well balanced server (as far as we can tell from IronForge.Pro at least) throughout all of WoW Classic. It wasn’t until a few months after TBC Classic came out that that changed.
Although it’s difficult to say exactly why it changed as drastically as it did, it seems that somehow the combination of people transferring to Faerlina Horde and from Faerlina Alliance prior to free transfers for those servers that were closing had already paved the way to signal that it was the Horde destination server and Alliance should jump ship or be overwhelmed.
the tenacity of the two players is glorious.
You make it sound like this is easy.
Yeah? so what? Call in reinforcements or GASP friends.
Greys that need friends to watch over them and help them out, and not just ignore their cries for help.
lmao crying about superior numbers is hilarious.
Yes. And it worked for you apparently. This is the exact reaction theyre looking for. And the exact one coded into the game to illicit out of people like you.
Your response is SUPPOSED to be anger, then vengeful wrath. Get a group together to fight bak and you know…play the game.
Who decided that?
Who decided that?
That was world player vs player textbook definition
Did it? I played through classic p2 in a 60:40 horde server and then still chose a balanced pvp server after that one closed. Shrug.
Just because you think being a bully is fun doesn’t make it true.
Who decided that?
It literally does. Fun is subjective. Quit deciding things in MY world.
I did. In my world that you’re participating in unwillingly with pvp. You said it yourself.
Thats why. Most servers ended up being horde dominated though out of all classic. Alliance players normally are more skeptical as to the balance of each faction since they prob had to transfer off many servers because they were vastly outnumbered
you know, due to min maxing racials lol. (Other things too, just wanted to point that particular one out though)
This would only work if they add faction caps as well. Otherwise, people would transfer to where their faction has the advantage. Just like now.
you don’t get to decide what is fun in world pvp - point is in world pvp you take the advantage, most people say they want world pvp when they do want is 18th century european warfare where you meet in a field shake hands, stand in a line and fire at each other.
we have those, it’s called a battleground
I imagine Blizzard isn’t transparent about this sort of thing in an attempt to hide their pitiful subscription numbers.
Part of that I have to give to the alliance streamers there probably kept the alliance there, Faerlina had a slight alliance dominance until they left
Ok. Yes. Now i see your point. Its more to do with capping the max people allowed though. It doesnt really have anything to do with the balance. In other words. We currently have servers that are one sided. 20 thousand alliance only. If they cap at 40 thousand and fill up horde, it doesnt change alliance ah at all.
Yup, it attracted more pvp players to that faction
You can do this! But only if youre at the disadvantage lol.
I chased around a deathknight last night until they would fight me 1 on 1. we did the whole square off and salute thing and everything lol but man you gotta work for scenarios like this.
The chase lasted ages before they finally relented lol. I lost. But man that experience was worth it lol.
Now i got a rival DK to hunt down when i improve my pvp skill.
Maybe, but idk if their presence is also just overhyped. As far as I know most (if not all) of them had quit around P2-ish anyway, quite a while before TBC launched, and even several months before there was any noticeable population difference.
Yeah, and thats absolutely fair. Why not want an advantage that you can take for free whenever you feel like it at character creation.
Pfew…run on sentences. anyway. Yeah i dont blame anyone for taking racials to min max, its what the game is asking you to do anyway. “Do things to make your numbers better” is kind of one of the biggest goals in wow.
Its just that its a huge shame that imbalance is a symptom of this as well.
Cant speak for anyone but myself. I couldn’t care any less about streamers than I currently do lol.
