Originally posted by xEntriq World of Warcraft sucks, it's the worst MMORPG that I have ever tried. The most fun it will get is levelling from 1 to 60. Yes, there's endgame, but then that's what it really is. Endgame. What fun is fighting the computer? The PvP system is total shit, based entirely on what gear you have, also very laggy. The only people who will defend or enjoy this game is clearly incompetent.
You are right. Plus the game is unbalanced. If PVP at 60 and the classes are balanaced, then WTF are there twinks?
As others have mentioned a big problem with pvp in WoW is the influx of raid geared characters. So if you are intent in PvP'ing sololy at 60 you have to contend with all the epic geared raiders who are killing time in between raids. Really you have no way to compete against someone with tier 2 raid gear if you just are wearing blues at 60.
So PvP is pretty pointless if you are doing it to play against others based on skill as gear is > then skill in WoW pvp. So in the end if you want to PvP then you have to raid or else just get used to being 1 or 2 shotted every time for crap honor gear which can't rival Epic PvE raid gear. The best option IMHO is to look for a PvP oriented MMORPG where raiding for PvE gear is not the core function of the end game in such a MMORPG.
Games I've played/tried out:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, FFXI, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars,Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H, Star Trek Online, APB, Champions Online, FFXIV, Rift Online, GW2.
I think they should get rid of some of this instance PvP crap and open up more World PvP. Why in the world are there civilians in towns to annoy people and force people to not want to do World PvP? I think civilians was the dumbest idea about PvP, because they are your enemy. In Warcraft III you didn't just ignore the peasants on the human side, you freaking slaughtered them with your hero. Now what they heck are civilians for? It takes me forever to get into BGs, so one day I got angry and went on a mass civ killing raid. Was so much fun besides the fact that I lost 3 ranks over it. Blizzard needs to fix their problems and get this PvP action more interesting and fun, not this civilian crap. I can believe there are even civilians who will attack you. WTH.
I agree with a lot of the posters here that are saying that they should bring back World PvP. the problem with world PvP in WoW was, the horrible lag. The instanced PvP was the only solution since the servers lag something fierce at any rate without it.
There is some good to the rumored improvement in the effect that at least you shouldn't have to wait for 2 hours to play anymore and you get to meet people from other servers. That bit is actually kind of cool. It would be even cooler though if we had those raid on Southshore again.. defending the realm and the innocent from the evil horde. Those were the days PvP was the most fun, even if it was a lag fest.

It seems like Blizzard continues to gear their content to keep people playing 24 hours a day.
I still think instanced Battlegrounds are not the best answer to PvP.
I'm waiting for Warhammer Online at this point to really get a good taste of PvP again.
