    - Open world daily PvP quests throughout Northrend (dozens of them)

    - Large City raids on enemy's capitols with awards. Killing the opposite leaders as a main target

    - Ladder based rated gear and weapons.

    - Ranking the best PvP players worldwide per 20 server cluster or per server.

    - Dueling options

    - Seperate 200.000 dollar arena tournament with free to chose gear. Mostly done by professional PvP players. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7duX4QpVaAQ

    - Best fluid control of avatars

    Yep the same "boring" pvp.
    I wish all those other PvP based mmorpg games had these choices of play....

     

    Why discuss when someone only sees what he wants to see?

    im sorry but having a rated arena system, one pvp zone and the same battlegrounds forever basically means WoWs pvp is still tacted on to their actually decent pve mechanic.

    Pvp is an addon and nothing more. all these little mini games were developed because most WoW players can't deal with large raid difficulty. hell blizzard had to get rid of 40 man raids because only the hardcore EQ raiders could actually do top tier content. It's a fact that less then 5% actually got threw Naxx before Tbc hit. So pvp is a newb gift for unskilled pvers.

    Gotta give it up to blizzard it was a smart move.

     

    Edit: before you say pve takes no skill need I remind you of the pvers that used to pvp in AQ40 and Naxx gear and Wtf pwn high ladder pvpers? yeah shows how skilled those players were and how skilless pvpers in wow are.

    Playing: Nothing

    Looking forward to: Nothing

    half of the PvPers in wow are twinks and so do no end-game PvP or arenas. they do not take skill, with enough money you can get the best gear and pawn the battlegrounds, but that doesn't make you a good player. most of them are really really bad players, the only reason they win is because they have superior gear, or gank up on individuals while shouting "OMG PWN UR A$$ NOOB 111NOOB111".

    So lake wintergrasp sucks?  or is it just hella laggy?    Because that was one thing I was going to enjoy when I came back.  I left for WAR and loved its open PvP but I miss my fam so Im comming back to WoW soon.

    You really only play wow huh? Last time I checked other MMOs have instanced pvp, city siege, Arenas and duels lol.

    "PvP is a gift for unskilled pve players"? That's why NOT one person could do the PvP achievements until today? While around 1% or less could do the Raid achievements?

    What achievement? Old WoW players didnt have that achievement its new. Also I wouldnt be too proud of that Achievement mechanic. seems blizzard shoehorned that feature in it pales in comparison to CoH,Lotro and WARs version.

    How many sponsored professional PvP players are there in your beloved EVE ?

    Did i say anything about Eve in the post you quoted? you need to chill with the flaming/trolling ur gonna get banned :)

    There are MORE PvP players in Wow than there are players in ALL other MMO's combined at the moment. If it's 20%, it would be around the 2.000.000 mark.

    Sub numbers argument.... yadda... yadda thats all you have. I win all these arguments once you guys use that.

    Oh and the prestiguous titles and ultra highest gear are distrubted on SERVER CLUSTERS (about 20). That's a players base of 200.000 players doing the same competition... with just one winner's title: the deadly Gladiator title.

    LOL! you just brought up a title? hahahhahahahhahahahahhhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha

    This is really sad now you need to stop posting lol.

    NOT bad for ... an add on.

    Nope perfectly viable for an addon to keep you guys paying while blizzard uses all your cash to make the next Basic feature MMO that you will blindly praise and support.

     

    Edit: I wouldnt bring up that arena league feature too much, dont you have to pay extra for that? if so sounds like more of a cash shop feature to me.

    i was never really into the whole do 7 matches of arena and wait a week for your arena points to get your gear kinda player... i was more into the whole out door REAL pvp.
     
    can someone fill me in on what has happened? if so im goin to keep playing AoC.
     
    Thanks!

     

       Simple answer is NO it actually has gotten worse with WotLK , the DK has destroyed the mechanics of BGS and arena ladders.. I would go to Wows official PVP forum and read up there instead of the basing my decision on the responses of a few rabid Wow fanbois here.. You can read dozens of threads from hundreds of dedicated Wow players and how unhappy they are with PvP now..

    You should see the little guy in 3v3 arenas he's jumping all over the room laughing with his friend from school.
    So i would say WoWs pvp is fun and from my sons reaction it didn't need to get better.
     
     



     

    Another one who wants to hide behind his "son".

    That's what happens when Wow killers just ran out of arguments.

    THAT's what makes me glad: they no longer talk about the game, but they begin to rant on the public that plays the game.

    Tell your son, this is IT. He won't find any better , unless you want to play craptastic games of LOTS of promise but no delivery.

    ----

    Tell him he won't find ANY other MMORPG with these nice controlled fluid avatar moves.

    Tell him he will need to adapt to avatars with a "stick in their asses" and clunky unresponsive controls and movement.

    Tell him about the "real" mmo games are out there which will PROMISE things but NEVER deliver.

    Tell him his daddy wanted real massive world PvP games of 100 against 100 every night,  but that daddy still waits for a new game that will have these promised things... while the son's been playing it all along.

    ---

    I think your kid has the right to be told the truth. Before he thinks you are filling out your savings in a spreadsheet every night in "playing" the "never leave the cockpit game"..... waiting for .... promised things.

    Perhaps the son has the intelligence of his mother instead of father's views....

    Nice try, but it would work counter productive in your Wow hate. You see ....it changed there a month ago....

    You know these days a LOT of very serious and good discussions on Wow forums. And at least with the real remarks the game deserves.

    Because if you want to post credible posts there you have to publish with the AVATAR picture directly linked to your armory and - new - achievement system.

    The bullshit posts seen there are kept to a minimum in the level 80 department.

    Stating something and with no proof is kinda silly isn't it ? With all these data throwing around....

    if you want to have credibility there you post with the 80 Avatar. Of course level 1's are being made to trash, but a LOT less whining lately since the achievements were in place. !

    So indeed the Armory and in game achievements system linked to your 80 avatar means far better in depth discussions than before.

    I even find them TOO soft in judging serious gaming problems like the hidden arena ratings which demotivates players.

    But to understand these duscussiions ... you have to PLAY the game actively and discuss things like a CD of 8 to 6 seconds....and not spit nonsense.

    DK ? How come they weren't even in the arena finals ? :)))

    2 classes making up 55% of 2v2 should tell you something.

    Anyhow lotsa of credible lvl 80s commenting on the state of Wows PvP .. the fact that you continuously defend it and find absolutley nothin wrong with the state of Wows pvp just completely discredits you..

    Since you don't know what achievements are, y... ou don't know what the non instanced Lake Wintegrasp PvP is either, nor Strand, nor Northrend PvP daily quests...
    I simply stated Achievements weren't around back in the days of WoW, I've also mentioned that I have very close family members who still play WoW. I also have access to these accounts, so I know WoWs current state of the game. I do not post on a game if Im not up on current features within said game.
    So why even intervene if you don't know anything about WotLK.
    Of course I know about Wotlk, If i didnt I would have stopped posting when It released lol.
    Because THAT was the thread  wasn't it? ... Oh I see the 6 points in PvP options I mentioned and you apparently don't know anything about anymore.
     THe POINT of the thread was "is wow pvp better in Wotlk" my response was to my son enjoying the pvp experience so I thought it was. Do you purposly try to forget peoples posts to validate your posting nonsense?

     

    Try not to insult me saying my posts arent credible, first harassment, now insults? stalking? Back quoting? flaming? seriously grow up.

    LOL! I discredit and break down WoWfanbois whenever im on this forum. I don't need to hide behind my boy, You guys fight for a basic feature MMO. You fight a losing battle even before it begins.

    THAT's what makes me glad: they no longer talk about the game, but they begin to rant on the public that plays the game.

    Tell your son, this is IT. He won't find any better , unless you want to play craptastic games of LOTS of promise but no delivery.

    Craptastic to who? Not everyone wants to play a jack of all trades MMO,thats basically a Master of none.

    ----

    Tell him he won't find ANY other MMORPG with these nice controlled fluid avatar moves.

    LOL! you mean the FPS controls? yeah thats a reason to play a MMO for years *rolls eyes*

    Tell him he will need to adapt to avatars with a "stick in their asses" and clunky unresponsive controls and movement.

    Clunky and unresponsive? in what game? certainly not Eve?

    Tell him about the "real" mmo games are out there which will PROMISE things but NEVER deliver.

    Promise what? like WoWs hero class mechanic that they scrapped infavor of a ezmode lame level 55 deathknight instead of adding complexity to a game you pay for hahahahahaha!

    Tell him his daddy wanted real massive world PvP games of 100 against 100 every night,  but that daddy still waits for a new game that will have these promised things... while the son's been playing it all along.

    Hmm last battle I was in it was closer to 500v500 tyvm, again your wrong. Also im glad my son likes WoW.

    I think your kid has the right to be told the truth. Before he thinks you are filling out your savings in a spreadsheet every night in "playing" the "never leave the cockpit game"..... waiting for .... promised things.

    LOL what nonsense, "tell me son the truth"? do you think my son hasen't watched me in my big fleet battles or running a mission?

    Perhaps the son has the intelligence of his mother instead of father's views....

    God I hope so considering my Wife is a writer and an amazing women in general. My views are my own, my son has no idea I can't stand WoW. I let the boy play what he wants and even keep up on the game to help him pwn guys like you all day.



     

    This is sad. Why do you continue to argue with a person that actually knows about your game and could probably own your ass in the game and raided high tier content than you? Goto the DF forums were the negative posters actually never played the game before, its an easier fight.

     

    Edit: I have never, ever argued a topic in a game forum that I myself wasn't a vet of. From EQ to EvE messing with my Opinions are pointless. everyone sooner or later starts to flame. keep the convos civil and stop trying to attack me. my opinions of your game aren't a direct attack on you, stop  taking this so seriously.

    Anyone who calls himself a "vet" in gaming usually is an arrogant self centered jerk whos good for nothing. Not saying that you're and arrogant self centered jerk, just that its the term those kind of people use. 

    "It is my opinion, that my opinions are always right"

    Official Arena play is organised around 3vs3 and play balance is group based on this and 5vs5.

    In 5vs5 ... 9 classes out of 10 are in the top 4 arena teams. What more could you want ?

    Also the threads are just a discussion thread following players emotions.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7duX4QpVaAQ

    proves Wow is a professional e-sport event, not one other MMORPG can even come close to these thousands of dollars line of event spread out in the gaming world.

    Glad you just put yourself out of that PvP league. As an amateur you have NO idea what you are talking about.

     

                       Lol  anyone can go visit there site view  hundreds of threads with thousands of players unhappy with the state of PvP.. You have proven again that you are just a flaming fanboi .. Whos E-GF can do no wrong ....

    heh just player emotion .. weather good or bad all players are participating for emotion .. even you in your undying defense of Wow you are doing it out of emotion , without it there would be no reason to play weather its happy, anger,hate ,joy,power,elitist,loyalty,friendship we all play with emotion .. But you just keep talkin and discredit your self and opinions .. By disreagrding all the players responses in those threads becuase they have emotion , only further discredits yourself..

    I have played WoW since launch and can say that the pvp in the game has been horrible for well over 2 years. Season 2 of arena marked the end of its and it has gone south every since. Get used to it because frankly the game is all about pve with a splash of pvp because of the two factions.

  • ReVealReVeal Member Posts: 2

    WoW has the best balanced pvp in  any MMORPG out today. Every class can kill every class and they are all very different in pvp. It's gear based, so if you're not doing raids to get the best equipment once you hit the lvl cap you're done, it's like fighting level 80's while you're level 70. You just won't win.

    Aside from the very highest lvls, the game is incredibly balanced and anyone who says it's unfair is just upset that they can't win in pvp. I died alot, but I also won a lot more.

    You'll always play someone with more skill than you, someone who plays more and is more diehard, but that's just life. You're never the best.

     

    again, wow is the best pvp balanced game on the market, and most entertaining with quick movement and fast reactions.
