Update Arenas: Remove Pillars at 3 min mark

You do know that if there is no LoS certain classes would have clear advantage over others right?

So… ring of valor? You should become a wow employee. Your vision aligns with their. To bad it was removed after 2 expansions due to the backlash how hated it was.

Should pretty much sum up why it’s a bad idea.

And with LoS exploiting, who has the advantage then?

And I do not even entirely agree with your statement. You can still fight back without being able to LoS. However, with LoS exploiting, can the opponent actually fight back? They can try… and if the exploiter makes a mistake, you might catch him but the advantage is clearly on their side. They are gaining mana, cooldowns and health without the opposing player being able to do anything against them.

This is fair to you? It probably is not, but if you happen to be benefiting from this, then I guess you have to defend it?

You do realize that most players in any game are not good players but bad players? What do bad players do when exploits / pay to win / other unfair advantage they had gets removed from them? They tend to get angry and they tend to quit.

Same reason why some players keep whining Blizzard about slow honor gains, even though there are players who had absolutely no problems in getting the honor gear in 50% of the time these people ā€œhave been trying to get themā€. They are either inactive or very lazy players.

Similarly in the Arenas a player can learn to play their class or learn a strategy to defeat a specific combo, or learn nothing and keep spamming their dots and other instant cast spells while avoiding actual combat running around a pole. If you know your class, you are not that reliant on the poles but if pole running is all you can do, then you will probably end up quitting if the poles got removed.

For those wondering:

Yes. Beyondo does in fact main a rogue. That should probably answer a lot of questions you may have about him.

I tried to push that 14 years ago. Now look at how much it did! Also pillars are needed else the games would be like pokemon and running out of range and back in.

I wouldn’t necessarily call it biased, I have been playing different classes since original game and those classes happen to be countering each other under different circumstances, my reply might have come out a little more aggressive than it was intended to be, what i meant was that instead of thinking about how to fix OBVIOUS issues of pvp aspect of the game, we’re discussing potential environmental changes for some reason when we have flat out broken classes, broken talents/racials and broken items in the game and those have much greater effect on overal heath of the game than… arena consturctions for example.
While we’re at it - I agree with blind btw, increase the CD on it, just because i happen to be maining rogue right now doesn’t mean that i’d be against it…in fact, make cheap and kidney DR each other, but remove the RNG aspect of from PvP. Imagine entering a wrestling tournament and you already know your oponent, you know exactly what he’s going to do, you plan 10-15 steps ahead… buuuut there is a god damn invisible referee who has full control of the match outcome and makes decisions based on how he feels that day, that would be a SH*T wrestling match and ref would probably get fired

I think world of warcraft PvP isn’t the game for you. Maybe go play a FPS or league of legends

Nothing wrong with pillars if they were used in moderation or dare I say with honor. It is the pillar abusing that makes things unfair. Ever tried to catch a druid as a mage who is running around pillar in travel form?

It is pretty much impossible and it’s not just druids, it’s every healer class who can make themselves immortal by abusing these pillars. Requires a specific class like rogue in order to put an end to this pillar humping, maybe this is why these people hate rogues? Humped Pillars to 2k but then started meeting rogues and now forever bitter.

  1. Why are people still arguing w/ him ?

  2. Why are people arguing about this at all ? Its never going to happen. Ever. Ever.

You sound like a guy who got 2k rating by humping pillars.

Nah, but I did get multi glad that way.

Hi I played mage/priest to 2900ish last season

Pillars are fine, get good

If only anything you say could be believed.

Same goes for you, Tro… I mean, serious poster.
There is no problem. Pillars are fine. You can’t be believed.

I like this way of debating things. It’s easy. I won by calling my opponent a liar and we’re done with it. Thread can be closed now.

Good enough for you?

Serious reply on a troll thread: Stealth can be used to hard reset the game and make it last forever. Players who are practiced in dueling the ā€œpillar humpingā€ classes will know their window of opportunity and be able to set up a kill.

The biggest issues is druid and warlocks, they are basically the only classes who can spend forever 1v1’ing due to mechanics of this era. Holy Paladin Vs Mage is also a big deal, but that is a dangerous matchup that tends to get crazy REALLY fast after 30-40 seconds of pillar kiting.

Why are people still bumping this garbage troll thread? (I get that it’s a bit hypocritical to bump a thread with a complaint about bumping the thread but I made sure it was at the top when I wrote this)

Given the 99% serious nature of similar threads, it’s refreshing to be reminded that MOST people aren’t actually braindead and are in-fact just silently reading threads then not interacting with them. These trolls bring out the humour and sensibility of the majority of players.
