World of Warcraft - Will Battle for Azeroth Help Warcraft’s PvP Problem? - MMORPG.com
With Fortnite ruling the world right now, will Warcraft be able to answer with some new mechanics that enhance the competitive experience in WoW? This is after all the Battle for Azeroth.

Personally I'm looking forward to Expeditions as well. Would be great if they make them vs other players eventually(mid expansion).
Btw a bit offtopic, but I was leveling a character 2 days ago on the beta to check out how's the leveling after the xp buff and honestly it feels like I genuinely might not have enough quests to hit 120 or it will be just enough AKA you can't really skip quests and/or you have to do dungeons to help you get to 120. Of course that's without the 10% xp from War mode. Still wondering if it's intended or they might do a last minute change to the XP. It feels kinda annoying to not have the option of skipping a quest if you don't want to do it and even worse if for some reason a bugged quests prevents you from doing the following 15 quests that you get from it. Would really suck if you have to grind dungeons to hit 120. Currently there are still bugged quests on the beta, though from what I can see they are the last in the "chain", so you don't lose that much if you skip them.

I've PvP'ed in WoW since BC, and it's been the same since then. The only thing that SLIGHTLY changed it was Ranked BGs/Arena, and even then it always feels incredibly one-sided based on what healers/damage dealers the other team has over yours. It's never based off skill.
Just my two cents. Edit: I know one can say that's most games, but I think MMORPGs are a special exception to that because I feel like they are even more victim to the 'tier list' of good classes, which is the bane of all pvp-based games.
Any news about Classic?
wow need some think really new what players never seen in any other game and its hook them hard, but players get older and demand more. just beating dead horse in the end.
I can't wait for classic to come out - simply because people will finally remember the grind-fest bore it was and the changes that they made overtime are overall a good thing for most people.

6-12 hours... don't remember having such short AV's... The shortest I remember used to be around 2-3 days, while the average AV on my server at least was at least 4-5 days :P
Can't happen. Read up on what warmode actually is.
You pretty much answered that question. In sports you're held accountable for your actions. In PvP games, accountability is out the window so people feel like they can do what they want. It's a lord of the flies scenario. Put more accountability in PvP and more people would play PvP content because it would be better controlled.

D1, girls volleyball? D1 here too, football talking shit was a way of life. Hardening the steel you could say.
I have the same short answer as you tho, No. why Warmode when there is nothing to lose or gain. Still just meaningless pvp. No territory, no rulers, nothing.
Oh if we were in a pvp game i’d smack you for being a lil snot.
Spectacular cinematics won't make up for it, but it will certainly sucker in a lot of folks to buy it.
Agreed. This could be a huge hit for blizzard or we could see the largest drop in subs from an expansion yet. I'm guessing it might be the later. I have zero interest in pvp and I know I'm not alone. It will be interesting to see what happens, but this is the most uninterested I have been about an expansion to date.
If rumors are true and you can't reach max level without the help of warmode, then blizz has made huge mistake. Forcing people into pvp when they have no interest in it just to advance will be a blow that blizz most likely will never recover from. Time will tell....
