The game was rolling right along, fun as all hell, then they introduced the honor system and expansion and the fun factor just plummeted.
Never recovered imo.
AV was fun as hell at first though I gotta admit. Epic would be a fitting description. But the Dev's had a change of heart right when the game was *peaking* imho. Something had to be done about server lag during the SS vs TM and the Hammerfall vs. Refuge Point days, so they put in instanced PvP and just, took the soul out of this game.
Compacted with the fact that to fix the imbalanced queue sysytem they had in place for the battlegrounds,, they had to lump a bunch of servers together into a battlegroup, just made it way worse.
Gone are the days where you knew the other faction members and guilds on your server and had personal rivalries with other faction players and would KoS and fight with real honor certain people because of the *real* reputation they had gained on the server.
That was the soul of WoW. Now it's so anonymous and grindy. I've had fun in the BG's, but not like it used to be. Running around with a blackhand doomsaw mortal striking everything in site, getting eaten up by Spire Spiderlings pets, laughing at any warlocks because they were hands down the weakest of the weaksauce class in the game.
Man, I would wake up looking forward to an all day-all night session in this game. All I look forward to now is the day another development team releases something fresh. Until then, keep playin this game, it has it's moments, the control scheme is good and it runs well on my PC, but yeah. The Honor System + DK's + Battlegrounds, it's just been downhill since those were introduced. Nothing they have done to try and bring back world pvp has worked since then.
It's sad to think that all of that was done a couple of years ago just to help with the lag and server stability issues (not to mention the QQ of the handful of people that couldn't turn in quests). Now it's a couple of years later and the technology has improved 10fold easily, yet they can't ever patch the *soul* back into this game. They would literally have to scrap the honor system/arena matches and all the BG's to do that. Won't happen.
Even the PvE cats loved to world pvp back then, EVERYONE got behind it and there was some serious clout and trash talking between factions, fun rivalries. Now it's just pointless QQ like this post of mine and hoping that some of the upcoming titles don't suck as bad as the other supposed "wow killers" that have come and gone.
