what would you change in WoW pvp to make it better?

This is a good question indeed, one that I am sure many people will have very different answers to :-)

So let's hear it people; what would you change in WoW to make PvP better?



Please be constructive, civil and on-topic when posting. Nerf-calling, trolling and flaming is of no benefit, and as such will not be tolerated.

Q u o t e:
Remove the whole Arena and make BG gear with Rating

I wonder if a blue post can give me a reason wy that should not work

Well we have no intentions of removing the Arenas, however as was stated by Ghostcrawler in the thread that was linked to in the original post, we would like to breathe new life into the battlegrounds.

We realize that some people prefer the Battlegrounds, and it is perfectly alright to post your opinions regarding the arenas and how much you dislike them, but you should always remember that it is almost certain that not everybody agrees with you. Some people actually prefer the arenas over the battlegrounds, and to them it is very provoking to see posts like this one with demands of having them removed.

Q u o t e:

Actually no, answers wont be that different from each other. There is a consensus between all wow players in the world that "Damage is way out of hand in pvp", so bad that it should have been fixed already in overnight after release of expansion .

It seems only the blizzard crew is OK with the 10-11k ambush, ferocious bite, instant pyro, barrage etc. in pvp.

Indeed there are many that have concerns about the impact burst damage has on PvP right now and it is very much a matter that we are aware of. We have addressed these concerns in a previous thread:

But try looking beyond the immediate issues at hand that are affecting you right this moment, perhaps by simplifying ones perspective by looking at PvP in a very general manner; what would you change to make WoW PvP better?

Q u o t e:

I'm sure everyone anywhere near sensible understands that nothing as significant as the Arenas (or rewards for doing well in them for that matter) would ever be removed, adding alternatives is always the better solution. But the game has now been very Arena-centric for a long while, and while "breathing new life" sounds good to me, it's quite non-specific. Is it your plan to make it so, that you can get rewards of equal level/performance from doing the battlegrounds? Or just make the battlegrounds different/more fun, but leave Arenas the one and only way to get the best PvP gear in game?

It is true that the arenas have received a lot of attention since they were introduced, but we haven't forgot about the rest of the game. There is more to PvP than the arenas, and we do acknowledge that.

At this moment in time though, we can't really provide you with any other specifics beyond the fact that we would like to breathe more life into the battlegrounds, but we will of course post more information about this as soon as it becomes available.

Q u o t e:
(1) Make interesting PvP objectives and quests in every location in the game's world.

Feel free to add some suggestions for what such PvP objectives and quests should involve :-)

Q u o t e:
Personally, I would like a battleground that features long, epic and warlike battles. Like AV was before sometimes. I don't mean that you should remake AV the way it was before, I like the new (faster) ones, but I would also really like a longer one aside from that. I would honestly be most happy if the gamerounds int that new zone were to be between 3-6 hours.

ok, so this post probably didn't say much, but once again to sum it up. I would like a long, army against army batlle!

Well I do know that some people have fond memories of those old-school AV battles that could take the better half of a day to win :-)

There were a few threads a while back with suggestions to revert AV to how it was back then, but at this point in time we have no plans for doing something like that: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=5383689674&postId=53828890736&sid=1#65
