For me... had to be crossrealm pvp.

Beforehand, when it was just your own server, you could make a name for yourself. Hell, I even made friends with the opposing faction because when we were both in a BG, we knew it would be a knockdown battle till the end. Hell, I loved going to the server boards and gloating over who had control of AV last.

For me, the pvp scene was never the same after that.

Top 3..

1. the day "Arenas" were invented.

2. the day Bobby "World of Facebook" Kotick came into the picture.

3. the day Ghostcrawler was born.

No particular order.

Arenas.

(specifically that it doesn't have it's own default gear sets and thus no way to tweak arenas without subsequently screwing over pve aspects.)

Arenas are by far one the worst things ever added to WoW and maybe even to a MMORPG, at least in the form Blizzard added it as "end of it all" PvP feature. I would not have any problems with them if they were only a fun PvP "side game" though.

Arenas. (edit: although "hate" is too strong a word. I just think it was ... ill-advised.)


As I've said years before, this concept is at odds with MMORPG character advancement. This is what FPS is for. The two don't mix. Attempting to add it and knock off TV coverage was an obvious business pipe-dream failure that should have not made it past the initial "I have an idea" after work sitting at a bar "meeting". (See: negative impact on the rest of gameplay/customers.)


Trion got my respect when Hartsman emphatically declared that their game would not include E-sport.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.

THIS (in all caps too!).


Players did not want arenas, blizzard tried to force them.

Players did not want PVE changes based on arenas and their so called "pvp".

Players did not want 2 hour heroic dungeons and 45 minute queues.

Players did not want practically all their old world favorite scenery completely destroyed or "changed" by a "cataclysm." No one wanted a crater in westfall, or hurricane katrina in booty bay, or....

Well, you get the idea.
