Something not mentioned in this thread (mentioned elsewhere on other occassions) is that WoW has PvP done right.  This is another thing I HATED about SWG board warrioring, the PvEers would go absolutely berserk if you would suggest anything like WoW's PvP system- if there was ONE item in the game that only PvPers could get all hell would break loose and you are a griefer and a pk for suggesting it.

I love the ranking system (especially with the "maintain rank for the purpose of buying items" patch).  I love battlegrounds.  Most of all, I love 1v1 pvp.  People tell me that I'm supposed to get pwnt hard 1v1 with my mage, but I enjoy honing my skills against every class of 60 in random encounters.  Engineering adds such a fun wrinkle to it.  I found out today that although my world enlarger stops working when I attack someone, I can attack someone and THEN put it on.  I would poly someone (which detargets you) and then activate it.  I found that I got an extra split second before I was charged after the poly broke when doing this, as during the wildly revolving camera during sheep phase I think I was harder to target and some could not target me until the first spell hit and/or they didn't see where I went after the poly.  It got me a second at most, but that can be crucial.  People don't give pvp enough credit in WoW.  Its more balanced than any pvp I've ever played before (a few exceptions, like Wrath Hunters and the entire shaman class) and fun. 

All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu.  This is the truth!  This is my belief! At least for now...

I think your views on WoW pvp are even more batshit insane then your views on politics.  WoW's pvp "system" works on pve servers for pve players.  Its complete bullshit for anyone who cares more about player vrs player interaction then catass uber raiding and dkp point systems...

Oh and no I will not show you on the doll where WoW pvp touched me, fucking carebears.

Lacking direct experience with the WoW endgame, I thought it best to remove my response.

Carry on... nothing to see here.

WoW PvP is alright.  This comes from a pure PvE player who never really PvP'd in an MMO before due to imbalance / inaccessibility.

WoW pvp sucks. I had access to level 60s of every class too. My original char was a shaman, so you know how that goes.

WoW's PVP would be kind of fun on one of the new PvP-RP servers provided there was a way to communicate with the other faction. For now it's just someone emoting and spewing out "ARAH ER UGH PAK CHOOIE UNF" before ganking you and spitting on your corpse 100 times.

I don't like black licorice.  Because it is Not Cheesecake.  People who eat black licorice must be dumb to eat something that is Not Cheesecake.

I can't fault the logic. Cheesecake is dreamy, while black licorice is mined straight from Satan's anus.

I haven't played much, but afaik, WoW PvP is fucked (on the PvP servers at least). Mixmatched zones just puts me in a position to get ganked by higher levels. Not really my definition of "fun" or "competitive". Ganking and getting gang raped is NOT "PvP".

When it does work though (that is, when opposing Alliance or Horde in any given zone are roughly equal level), I think it's great. As far as the combat itself goes, I'm having a good time so far.

Ideally I'd like to see the best players be those able to understand the depth of the game rather than those that can devote the most time to it. Though it's often tough to make those two traits independant. I'd also like to see mental reflexes triumph over twitch... but that's more of a personal bias. - Nebu

Just a thought, I feel that Mental Reflexes are absolutely REQUIRED to triumph in twitch gaming. The good fighting games allow YOU to inject your personality into your playstyle/fighting style. You can tell at a glance HOW experienced your opponent is based on how he fights. Sadly, I don't believe that our bandwith connections will ever be fast enough that an MMO could have someting EVEN remotely as deep as games like Sould Calibur etc.

The Wow Fighting game mechanic is pretty fun. In fact its really the only reason I still play. I never farmed or grinded to get to the next lvl. I just enjoyed how the fighting system in this MMO was much faster paced that previous ones. The introduction of Battlegrounds made the only thing I liked, into a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE grind (pvp). Since I never had time to raid MC/onyxia, I never got decent gear. and its hard to compete w/ all purple'd out opponents, since this game is only very slightly skill based. BUT the fact that I was in mostly green gear AND could still woop on many 60's when i was still in mid 50's was fun enough.

Too bad there not much real pvp going on...
