What made you think that world pvp doesn't happen on a pve server in the first place?

As soon as someone mentions that world pvp is very much alive on the biggest pve servers out there (and it is, it really is), people go “loool pve servers are for newbs, enjoy only doing pve, those are not servers for real players”, yada yada…

I fail to undestand this: IF you can world pvp the same way you do on other pvp servers, only this time you get to choose when to do it, and how to do it, and you can play in a relaxed way whenever you don’t want to, and enjoy the world without getting ganked all the time…well, isn’t it a straight up better experience overall, BOTH in pvp and pve? Not to mention that pve servers get bgs as well (once they’ll be out of course).

Seems to me like pve servers provide the same world pvp experience as pvp servers, without the super frustrating part.

So what exactly is the problem here?

Pvp servers are just good to put the delusional roleplayers that still believes that wpvp is the core of this game

I have explained to you the difference between PVE and PVP servers.

Show me your argument for “PVP is more complete package”

The honest way would be: “you can’t have the full experience without Devilsaur mafias, BRM ganking, etc.”

@Lightslayers-draenor

So I’m all fine with PvPing all day long in Hillsbrad on a PvE realm for now,though I’ve gotta concede that World Bosses just aren’t the same,and that sometimes I’d like able to slap an enemy player who’s killing my quest mobs

@Katreena-mograine

If you were on a PVP server, you could compete for the ressource by trying to kill him. But if you are on a PVE server and he is unflagged, you will have to watch him kill the mob and wait for 10 mins.

You explained after how much time Kanasi? then assumed i have been playing for years :))

I said what bothers me at the so called pvp…not the pvp itself but the players that abuse it to ruin the entertainment of others. Ashbringer at least deals with it which makes me happy.

But you can’t have one without the other. It’s like those players who want to play, say, Magic the Gathering or Pokemon but “please no cheap strategies”. That’s not how it works. People - especially competitively-minded people, who’ve been playing the same game for years - will do whatever they can to win, within rules.

And that’s what we’re seeing now. Back then, WoW was new, many players were new, and nobody would expect content as it rolled out, nor prepared for it or figured out how worth doing it was. Whereas now people knew phase 2 would come, what it would offer in terms of rewards, and how to best rank up.

Just be thankful that BGs are coming soon. However, even with BGs coming, I doubt it’ll return to a state like back in Vanilla. It’s just not 2005-06 anymore.
