Bgs

Turn on the BGs. Arena was killed because people were trading wins, but that's because there aren't enough people doing PvP to do arena the correct way. We'll probably not have enough for most BGs, but give it a shot.

arena wasnt killed because of people WT, but cause lack of players ^^ bgs i would love that too but it might not happen well maybe we can have WSG or AB or some EoS, honestly i was thinking about arena solo Q but i dont think that will ever happen ^^

Arena vendors were most definitely killed because of WT, Fanadin told me. Arena is still possible to do im assuming? idk. People need something to do, or we'll just have a raidlog server. There is literally no negative to opening BGs, i dont care if only WSG is possible.

I was discouraged to continue playing after realising that almost everyone ( it was around 100 pop on both sides back then ) is a filthy PVE-er, this is quite literally the best scripted private server, could even get behind no addon rule, my only wish is that somehow this server gets some life into it and we get people that can do both ( pvp and pve ) its so sad honestly. I even tried killing few people i encountered in open world they just used everything to run away from a fair fight, sadge. Still i come here in hopes PVP will be revived someday.

Rest in peperonis, I love cheese pizza the best.

And they were probably discouraged to be attacked on sight, doing either party no favors. Interestingly, all of my pvp experiences in the server is being attacked by a tauren druid, all but one of them were cases where it started with their stealth ravage.

Not sure if it counts as a fair fight if they're a filthy pve player and get attacked by an experienced pvp player, even if they are near the same character level, the pvp player probably has talent points put into pvp related stuff, too.

PVP is generally only fun when you don't get forced into it and you actually have a chance, at least from a solo player perspective. If I am actually busy trying to accomplish something, it just translates into lost time and cessation of progress. Usually it has been a vastly overleveled ganker griefing in low level zones, both players directly and quest npcs so they can't turn in their quests, and those kinds of bad vibes bleed into being expected from any pvp encounter.

Going back to this, I think BGs are on but not enough people for queues. I tried queueing a few weeks ago and I got put into a queue. I remember reading BGs would be opened when the time is right, so i never attempted to queue except that one time. So are BGs technically available but was never announced? Also, should come up with a better way to limit win trading in Arena other than getting rid of Arena gear vendor. I think getting rid of the badge daily would be a good start, considering I know people who only started doing that to get the badge.
