I turned WM off for the first time

PVP War Mode and World PvP
1

I’ve been playing on PvP servers since TBC and had WM on for all of BfA. But now i turned it off.

Why? Because the two new daily quest areas are ridiculous in that an undergeared alt as this one doesn’t stand a chance against raid nerds (which there seems to be plenty of). Like, what the hell. I’m there to gear up and farm rep, but it takes fricken forever when constantly being ganked by said nerds.

Back in the days, resilience made sure that the raid nerds couldn’t overpower someone. Now PvP rewards sub-par PvE gear which takes forever to grind out.

Seriously, I just want some semblance of fair fights or at least not so God damn many allys in the same shard as me.

Tol Barad used to be great on PvP servers, because not only the raid nerds was fighting for the extra rewards. You’d meet people of all kinds of gear level, and gear catch up wad easier, and we had dedicated PvP gear to boot. More fair game and more fun fights to be had.

WPvP isn’t and never was fair, but right now I’m getting smacked into oblivion by raid nerds that are everywhere and I don’t stand even a sliver of a chance to kill them.

Sad, but true. Bye bye WM for now until I’m well equipped to deal with the raid nerds.

You did the right thing for you. WM is a gankathon, it just is, that’s the game mode. Some like it, some don’t. Same with any other mode in the game.

  • If you like to gank or be ganked and fight back, or because reasons, WM on.
  • If you don’t, WM off, or tolerate it because reasons.

The toggle makes it really simple.

Yes. Pvp gear sould not be viable in pve and vice versa. Bring back the old system.

You misunderstood my entire post. I’m a seasoned WPvPer. It was my favorite past time.

I took it that you don’t like WM in its current form, for your character’s current gear level, because ganked, so turned off WM? If so, that’s a good choice. Turn back on when ready.

We all makes choices in the game to participate in a particular aspect, depending on pref/need. WM is no different.

I think of WM as a hard mode, same as Mythic+ is a hard mode. It’s normal to need/want better gear to do a hard mode. Difference is, WM is not linear like a Mythic+, easier to wing it and hope for best in WM, solo or grouped. I see plenty wingers in zones!

I have no desire for Mythic+ hard mode, so I simply avoid it. In WM, I accept all aspects of it and would never WM off. It’s about prefs/need, good that we have the option to WM on/off. Pre BfA no choice, stuck on server unless pay Blizz real money. Free choice is good.

I am assuming, but sounds like you were soloing WM. Possible, but not optimum. As with other hard modes, grouping is optimum to overcome challenges. But for solo play, certain classes/specs are always gonna be easier, with gear being a bit less important too. Soloing with a Feral is pretty easy. Sure I sometimes make mistakes and get murdered. Killing and being killed, all part of the fun tho. Ofc you gotta play class/spec you want. Some are just better suited to solo play when lower geared.
