So this Warmode was a funny enough idea at first. But when most people have flying mounts and quests for killing 25 people in an area (i assume this is most often their motive), it turns in to a huge ganking fest.
I love to PVP and prefer WM on to get some skirmishes, but when im playing a character with 250k+ hp, u almost never meet people who wants to fight u, they just fly till safe or till they are 3-5v1.
However playing a character newly 120 with 150k hp, about every 5 min 1-3 people with 300k+ hp lands on me killing me with just a few spells - even if i escape a bit, there is no running from flying mounts when u got none yetâŠ
So the mandetory rep farm is not only ruining the game for many of us, having to farm it. Itâs also ruining all chance for decent pvp.
Overall itâs a combination of kill quests, WM and flying mechanics that has ruining world pvp so bad itâs retarded.
And q for bgâs u wanna fix by letting horde join as allyâs? about damn time, but 1 hour buff u need to retake, as well as changing race (and racial), i mean wtf is that for?

I must admit, flying is absolutely horrible for World PvP. (Among other things)
When a gank squad comes at you dismounted or on ground mounts you have time to react. From the sky youâve got nothing.
I think the way flying should be done is that you donât get it until the expansion after the current one. That way you can use it for tying up loose ends without causing negatives in the current expansion(s).

No flying = no Net-o-Matic = no thank you.

As amusing as the net can be it is dwarfed by the downsides of flying.
Itâs a âdangerousâ open world out there, and WPvP is natureâs cruelty in a game:
-
Solo ground players fill the role of small rabbit, scurrying from place to place.
-
Flyers fill the role of airborne predator such as an eagle, preying on the rabbits below.
Solution A = safety in numbers
If you are among other rabbits, the eagle may take one of the others instead of you, or go elsewhere for easier prey. Watch the skies!
Solution B = reverse roles
Donât be a rabbit, be a predator

Well if you are not aware of this, you can farm flying rep with wm off. Activate your wm back when you get flying. With flying on now, ofcourse you will be a good prey for those above you.

Oh Iâm very much a predator in the game. World PvP has always been one of my favourite things to do since I first started playing. Iâve got screenshots somewhere of an entire boneyard of player skeletons a friend and I made whilst levelling in STV years ago.
But I donât think flying mount PvP combat is a fun concept at all, even for me as the attacker.
It feels so slimy and talentless flopping down on someone from above. It makes the âhuntâ part of locating a target feel much less satisfying too.
About half the time when I engage a player I visibly approach and use /challenge first. (Theyâre dead whether they accept the challenge or not but it gives them a moment to prepare)
And like I mentioned, 5 man squads dropping out of the sky isnât fun for anyone. At least on ground mounts you get a chance to see them coming, and can hope their potential Paladin/DK doesnât outrun you
Also as I was pressing post I remembered the unpleasantness of when your target is also flying. Dropping down to the floor and netting them feels so sticky and unnatural, and thatâs assuming they havenât just shot past you at 500mph because flying mounts are so fast.

So sweet.
I downed alot of paladins like you while getting my Alliance Slayer title. Such a big shiny targed! Paladins are my favourite meal.

Thatâs nice of you. Ofc, most have their own idea of rules and are not interested in other playerâs rules. Results in fun chaos.
Itâs incorrect to say not fun for âanyoneâ. It is your opinion of whatâs not fun for you personally, you canât speak for everyoneâs sense of whatâs fun or not.
Down to preference I guess. For me, netting those dumb enough to fly within net range is lottsa fun!
I like giving a player something unexpected, why I chose a stealth class for wpvp! Whereas you like to give them time to expect attack. Just two different approaches to wpvp. Those and the many variables in combat, are part of what makes wm so awesome.
Oh I donât expect anyone else to play like that, I just find the concept amusing. I only do it about 50% of the time.
Itâs hard for me to imagine having 5 people drop from the sky and murder you in seconds without any hope of defending yourself is actually any fun. (bubble usually does the trick for me so itâs rare this is a major problem for me, so you can be sure this is not personal salt)
As for 5vs1 it seems possible to enjoy that but itâs so easy it doesnât even seem like sport. Whatâs the point?
Youâd be surprised
Ah, they donât know about magic banana!

You can always frustrate the gankers by using this little goodness from Nazjatar: Deepcoral Pod.
Jumping around, was never as hilarious as it can get. Iâve seen it used really creatively by some hunters - practically unkillable (due to not being able to reach / be in range). Apparently you can use it everywhere in Azeroth.

Wait,what?i fought can bee used only in Kul Tiras and Zandalar,can those be used outside Azeroth,like Draenor,Outland.
Iâve been reading (here in the forums) about people using that in Stormwind, when ganking players there. so perhaps ? I never bothered testing
There are posts asking for nerfing it popping up in the forums on daily basis haha. So I would expect that thing to be working in outland , I wouldnât be surprised if it did.
So already I knew about it working in Zuldazar and Kul Tiras but i never thought of using it on other continents, out of curiosity i went and grabbed from Nazjatar and went to Draenor⊠it worked. Then to Northrend, it also worked there.
Mind = Blown
Thanks for the tip Buibui

Basically gank mode, or when the battle of nazjatar starts then it turns into horde mode. Most dayâs its horde mode more so than gank mode. Would be nice to see phasing disabled during pvp combat to help with warmode so peple cant jump into dungeons or different shards to avoid karma catching up with them.
Sure helping all the helpless including hordes,maybe this way we could arrange some agreement.
Plot twist, i play both !

on my shard (RP realm), itâs mostly alliance Mode in WarMode. Hard to do anything without getting a raid group going. On the other hand - itâs perfect when you want to do one of the PVP quests in Nazjatar (to kill 25 Alliance players). Forming group takes a minute, then a short stroll around the map and quest done - hopefully before they form a raid group to punish you (happened few times)
