Why does anyone enjoy PvP servers?

How does it feel that an engineer could teach himself to do your job in 2 weeks and be capable of replacing you?

Is this is a thread about PvP or some weird therapy session for people with narcissistic personality disorder?

Both i think

It feels very bad. You made me cry actually I’ll go tell my boss to fire all of us since I was told by some random guy we all sucked.

The wow forums are a zoo you come here to look at what it has to offer.

If your boss isnt an engineer, somewhere up the line one of your bosses boss is an engineer. This is just the natural order

This well is starting to run dry and my amusement diminish. I conclude my will to continue discussing this at an end. Even at the zoo one gets bored.

The zoo is one big cage in of it self

Don’t worry about him, he is having a blast spamming sapper charges with the rest of his “Pro” guild.

Apes…right name, even an ape is capable to play classic :rofl::rofl:

There is literally just one single reason to roll PVP over PVE. You have the ability to influence players EVERY player on the opposing faction, as opposed to only PVP-flagged players on PVE.

If you do a quest to kill a named mob and a player of the opposing faction has already tapped it, you can kill him on PVP and get the quest done yourself. On PVE you probably have to watch him kill it then wait for the respawn timer.

This abilty to influence and be influenced is powerful, but it can go wrong very quickly as seen in Classic right now.

I like PvP servers quite simply because i like pvp

I like the danger and unpredictability.

I like the fact that if someone is taking “my” mine or herb, we can fight for it. And the winner gets the prize - fair and square.

Sometimes I like helping the other faction player from their death and see them thank me. And then we can help each other and communicate via emotes, which has limitations, so you have to be creative.

And the fact that you can always attack and kill each other at any time gives a sense of excitement but also trust not to do it, if there is a certain respect between the players of opposive faction.

I often find it more annoying to meet players of my own faction (even though the opposive faction will most likely attack me) because i feel like we do have to talk and be nice to each other. Feels like obligation, commitment, conditioning - but not with the opposite faction.

An example: Enemy player was running to take a herb. I took it first, and she just stood there. I did a /sorry and let her take the next one. And she did a /thanks

I know that this game is swarming with players that suffer from retardation of first degree (usually combined with self-hatred) and a lot of them will just kill you on sight, honor or not. But then I remember my regretful days on PVE server and never being able to get that… PVP action that I sometimes wanted. Because players of opposite faction just ran there like robots, ignoring you… it was sterile, it was boring.

I consider myself a very casual and guildless player and I am not planning on getting the best items for my char 60 (when i ding 60 some day). But still, i would rather get ganked by 100 self-hating retards rather than missing the opportunity of those rare, golden moments where you can always beat the crap out of each other but choose not to, either because you both benefit from the situation, or because you simply transcended the “need” to “gank the opposite faction player, because their name is in red and you get honor, etc.”, and simply because you choose to remain neutral from this whole Horde VS Alliance conflict, but there is simply no third (neutral) playable faction.

EDIT: So, maybe because I don’t have high expectations of the game, because I am careful about which goals i set for myself in the game, and I don’t see the 1-60 leveling as a hindrance that i have to get over with (to “finally play the game”, like they said in South Park), maybe because of that I can enjoy PVP a bit more. But I understand that if you want to rush to a specific non-PVP goal, than constantly being ganked can become a hindrance.

Becoise without PvP you get a dull world where nothing happens except for scripted 15 year old NPC events or fighting over resources which is first come first serve.

On PvP you kill the guy if he’s the opposite faction and take the resource.
The packs roaming about high level zones in groups are temporary… well for allance at least, maybe horde will have time to roam around I guess we’ll see when bg’s come out and what the queue time will be.

Imagine actually believing that.

Everywhere I went back on release I saw pretty much no one of my own faction since leaving allied territory, it was all Horde and I would run into them in 2s or 3s. Seeing an Alliance in any contested zone was more than a rarity, it pretty much made questing outside of friendly territory borderline impossible.

Unless you have a core group of hardcore players to play with at any time, (something that probably 90% or more of players don’t have), this is impossible in just three months, specially if you have a full time job, that doesn’t allow you to play during work hours.

Or that, or you dont have a full time job, “outside of your home”.

believe me I have full time job :smiley: between 10 am to 19pm and I reach lvl 60 with my priest in first week then 1 month ago got my 60 mage in 2-3 weeks of farming… if you know how to play and got friends its easy and I just go 3-4 friends before server launch, got my most friends while lvling with priest, all of them now best players in shazzrah as a druid and warriors… got eng and ench for priest - alch and herb for mage… not wasting gold on consumable fishing-cooking 300 pots coming from mage gg… now just farming gold with my mage when I have free time, this game is not so hard if you know how to play…

The more difficult the grind, the more rewarding it feels.

The only reason world pvp is so overloaded is because blizzard is greedy and made the huge mistake of tripling population caps on servers.

Take a map designed for 4k and put 10k on there, what happens? It becomes crowded like tokyo. But hey, cant blame blizzard for that right? WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN?

DISCLAIMER: BLIZZARD WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN! THEY ARE NOT MAKING GAMES FOR FUN ANYMORE THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY. CLASSIC ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE THEY WERE LOSING PLAYERS AND HOPED TO MAKE NEW MONEY. Hehe the golden age of good games has been dead for a while guys. We are now in the dark ages of gaming.

I see it as a good thing that Bliz is not the same. Will be easier to quit WoW / MMOs in general (and get back to real life projects that matter) and it will be easier to see through their future hype of BS and therefore stay away from future releases.

I like pvp because of the thrill. I find it more mmorpg like that people can ambush you at any moment. Both on my main and alts. For me it brings our the War in warcraft. Bgs are fine and all that. But wpvp to me means alot.

Yes I get camped from time to time. But thats the life i chose.
