Ethics in WPvP

One of the things I love about WPvP, is that different players can play it in different ways. That aspect of ethics, it’s slightly different ethics per player. That leads to many random and interesting situations, a slightly different experience per player. Love it.

When I see something I disagree with, I’m gonna disagree. It’s okay to disagree :slight_smile:

Yep, this is part of the differences in opinion. Player experience as well as prefs dictate how we feel about WM.

For me, WM was a big upgrade over Legion.

I WoW’d since 2007, but did not WPvP until Legion, on a quiet RPPvP server Defias… solo hunting Horde late night, finding some, having fun.

My experience in BfA, to me is a big upgrade, because all I wanted was to kill Horde. And there was now a plentiful supply. Sharding didn’t cause me any issue, as long as there was Horde, and plenty.

The new community system meant that I could find like minded players, and WPvP with players I knew, always more fun. A big upgrade for me.

LfG in Legion was quiet at the time I played, and little reason to use it. In BfA, awesome, suddenly LfG being used a lot, that was a novelty and seemed a big upgrade.

Big battles at start of BfA on a regular basis, now I have nostalgia for that. I did not experience battles like that in Legion. They are less often now, but fun.

The novelty of large LfG groups is now wearing off on me though. Now and again is fun. I am more inclined to want to WPvP with a party of my community members, not even a full party, and it’s a lot of fun to me. I only really use LfG now when outnumbered.

You can be lucky with LfG and meet friends, that’s what happened with my community. But more often, LfG players are very focused on completing their quest. That can be annoying when you want to chill kill, but that’s just LfG. It’s purpose is fast and convenient objective completion. I mostly use it for bounty help.

In terms of ethics, some of it is personality, past experience in WPvP, fun faction rivalry, playing a lot of FPS games in the past where it’s kill kill kill no mercy kill then kill again and again, and just fun to be on a kill roll. That’s ganker mentality. But I love 1v1 too and am learning. I very rarely corpse camp, but have no issue with it for reasons already stated. If enemies could not avoid it, I would not do it.

Anyway, enjoying BfA or not is about perspective and experience. From my point of view, big upgrade over Legion WPvP.
