WoW pvp is good if you play a twink in the low level BG's, level 60 PvP is awful. 40-49 was pretty good I kinda wish I had never leveled. AV was fun but has alot of problems. I hear there are so many twinks of bored non-raiders in the lower level that unless you twink it can be kinda miserable. When I left the game people were openly recruiting for all twink PvP Guilds on general in orgrimmar and that was 4 months ago on a medium pop server. The whole system is way to out of whack as far as itemization is concerned. IMO its pretty broke. I always thought the class balance was pretty good, no matter the complaints, and the gameplay is pretty good, but itemization with raiding and lvl 60 enchants on lvl 19 items well its kinda silly. And for things like AV the queues are just too long and if your server is low or imbalanced your queues can be pretty crazy.
I can't honestly recommend WoW for PvP anymore. Maybe after 1.12 pvpv patch, who knows. I'm not optimistic but if they take the raid equipped honor farmers into their own bracket and implement cross server BG's it might be good again. Of course you will always be sub-par at world PvP unless you raid, nothing will ever change that.
Guild Wars is far superior for smal group versus small group.
EVE's PVP isn't twitch based exactly, although being able to target and activate your modules more quickly certainly helps. It is however, very fast paced, especially in the small, fast ships that you will be flying at the start of the game. To get an advantage requires a lot of very quick thinking about how/who to engage, what range to fight at, whether to try and escape etc. You could easily find yourself making dozens of decisions and adjustments to what your ship is doing in a fight lasting as many seconds. It's great fun, an unrivalled thrill and certainly not boring.
Originally posted by Torak The only truely "broken" PvP in a game I know of is SWG. Jedi just kill everyone and there is no reason to PvP at all anyway. I mean no reason at all, period....
I know that's kind of broken, but isn't that the whole point of being a Jedi? But it also seems that everyone would aspire to become one then, which is not fun. I actualy didn't play it, but Jedi should be the pawn mashine, too bad that doesent work well fin the game, so I hear.
it depends what kind of pvp. pesonally im not a HUGE pvp person but i think that guild wars has the best pvp personally. its good because u can work as a team and take on the other team and use ur skillz to help ur team get to victory.
i also like the pvp in silkroad. it may seem kinda boring but the graphics make it look much more interesting to watch. and you can also equip capes so u can be on teams while pvping. the only thing i dont like about silkroads pvp is that u can be attacked anywhere after lvl 20.
Now heres what i think about games that have the worst pvp. RUNESCAPE is a terrible game. it also has the worst pvp i have ever played. also if you die in pvp after killing someone you lose all your items( i think thats too much of a punishment for just DIEING in a battle). and all you do really is click and eat food to keep youself alive. there arent even any skillz that help keep you alive! to me thats not right.....

Are Jedis in SWG really that overpowering? I mean how many reg people would it take to take one jedi down?
And in SWG is PvP only one on one?
