Don't forget to vote! (both on this thread and the original)

-----------------

It seems as though PvE is still by far the driving force behind all of development. PvP, however, continues to remain the afterthought to whatever y'all decide to do with PvE. This is despite the fact that more players than ever like to PvP more that PvE. Certainly, there are more PvP guilds than ever in the 6 years of WoW's existence. But I'm not feeling any love from the developers of PvP.

Do y'all plan to develop something new and different for players who primarily PvP? Or should we just expect more BG's with the same old mechanics: capture flag and gather resources. More arenas with the same old bland designs. More world PvP events that nobody really enjoys...

Hats off to those who led the charge for redoing PvE zones for leveling. Leveling has never been more fun. But how do you plan to evolve - if at all - PvP arenas, BG's, and world events?

Throwing out a few ideas:
- Create PvP events that pop up in a random place around the world - a la Rift
- Add some NPC's to arena maps - a la Colosseum lions
- Redesign AV for the love of Azeroth
- Create BG's that automatically assign roles to players - i.e. defense, offense, or siege drivers (this would help avoid all the arguing about who should be doing what in PuG's...)

I truly believe that PvP has so much potential to be more fun and interesting than it currently is. How do you feel about it Mr. Dev?
