Last time I got killed in the open world was during TBC. I did however see a rogue trying - unsuccessfully - to gank someone with 3 mobs on him in Hellfire Peninsula during the MoP pre-patch when I was leveling a monk. Could hardly believe my eyes!

you guys still had open world pvp?
Because they neglected it so hard we’d be lucky if 10% of pvpers even are still around.
PvP worked fine even as casual content, battlegrounds were fun.

“emotional statements” - Because people are emotionally invested in a game that they spend hours of their lives playing? You’re a literal bot. Shut up.

Ah yes, ganking someone who is AFK at Halfhill market and rocket booting into your phased tillers garden is the peak epitome of world pvp.

By the way, what argument do you provide except of faulty generalizations?
Not but for real, the only argument you have is “nobody does it”, “its a small percent only”.etc…
But two things here:
- Small doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserver respect or to exist (unless you have an issue with minorities?)
- It’s small because it didn’t get the occasion to flourish (because of Human racial prevalence, etc…)
So please, keep your false arguments for you or explain me with proper ones why an aspect of the game that is liked by people should disappear?
Especially if it’s kept alive without hurting others (i.e: PvP realm that you’re free to hop in OR NOT)

I do not blame you for having emotions, I blame you for resorting to emotions instead of logic in a discussion
it’s not about WPVP, it’s about choice
1% choose to play as minor faction on PVP server
99% choose the PVP server and made it a safe environment, for these 99% their server type is worth more than the tiny risk of meeting the 1%

Totally agree, that’s exactly what it is. A fun little activity that you resort to periodically when bored or tired of grinding. WPvP is an even more niche sybtype of this already niche thing.
People on the forums these days, however… Every thread is about them quitting over WPvP, making absurd claims like “WPvP is the only thing keeping this dying game alive”.
Just a small and very loud echo chamber of people who invested decades of their lives in the game and spiritually still live in 2006 and are overly immersed in a thing that was never meant to be a serious self-sufficient discipline. Now all 50 of them are mad because Blizzard finally slapped the PvE label on the PvE realms, and they have nothing else to do but come here and complain endlessly
World PVP was dead since early BC. If you want to PVP, toggle PVP on or go arena/BG

WPvP exists on the EU/RU realm. We have a large community with many guilds on both Horde and Alliance. Our server has been converted to PvE, although many players on our realm are still interested in WPvP. Just because your servers don’t have WPvP, and you haven’t seen it since prehistoric times, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist elsewhere. WPvP exists here. Our community is outraged that our server has become PvE.

WPVP is largely 1 sided gank-fest. For one im happy i wont be 1shotted by some random otherwise skill-less max level every 15 minutes while leveling, just because he gets his dopamine hits from easy kills. The less griefers - the better for the community. Nobody likes them, nobody wants them but their ilk. Good riddance

Let’s be honest guys… apart from Flamegor, WPvP is completely dead. I’ve been playing on Firemaw for years and have had a maximum of 5 encounters… if there was no flying everything would be better and WPvP would work again ^^ but crying and saying that you’re being camped out as an 85 from a 90 because you can’t fly is peak WPvP
If you don’t have this, it doesn’t mean that there is a large stratum of people and guilds who play in this direction, and this is important, since they all chose a pvp server.

Even on Flamegor the ratio is Alliance 23% - 77% Horde. Over 3 hordies for 1 ally. WPvP cannot be healthy in an environment like this
You live in a different world without knowing the realities of WPvP. The Flamegor alliance has a huge community of people who are happy that the Hordes are larger, and they effectively dominate the WPvP aspect of the game on our server.

Why even argue about WPVP, PVP in general has been dead since forever, it failed and always has in wow. Cause it is an atrociously badly balanced game for it.

they will never understand this.
i already miss the situations being ambushed near the pvp vendor or moving to the a ppl in curiousity to see if they attack or act friendly.
It was such a variety of situations.
In the future you have to pvp tag which will always create a more agressive atmosphere.
Also some coward behave whic is mostly known from pve players:
coming unflagged stacking up and attack then.
I have seen this on venoxis when some pvp alliance guilds came in lower numbers.
It was always the pve players acting like cowards. ANd ofc after the kill isntantly flying up on the mount and camping in the air.
While all the durotar duelists dont interfere in a duel or non agressive situation.
Ppl like this panda her ei guess.
They all complain about ganking because that is just how they see and play it.
Assuming others to do so
