WoW should not be a PVE game imo it makes no sense to have factions in a PVE game .It is true blizzard kinda gave up on PvP and i has gotten worse every next expansion but thats due to PvE content getting harder and making PvP balance near impossible . We see that in SoD aswell they want other classes to scale like warriors and we have priests killing you with 2dots and hunter doing 30% of my hp in bg with an autoattack. Also i have exalted WSG but bracers from engineering this phase are just a bit better so you are not forced at all to do it.
