andredasilva8756: man rated BGs are a ton of fun- I wish the game focused more on that. I dream of a day where people's "mains" are flag carriers, or defenders, etc. There is so much potential with WoW PVP.

betahumanx: The answer is simple no

Adartaer: I don't want to act like some bragger here, but as an MMORPG player focused on PvP with 19 years of experience. I sometimes read these posts on Reddit and I just don't get them. Everyone only talks about CR as if it’s the most important thing, like in some MOBA games like League of Legends. But for me, as a PvP player, what matters is simply enjoying the PvP itself. I log into the game, go PvP in the Open World, and if I want to play some more organized PvP, I join some Skirmishes. I’m doing PvP all the time, so what's the problem?

tcplaya2882: It’s a ton of fun if your favorite class is good. My favorite class is Death Knight…. Nuff said.

(Death Knights have been complete dog shit since the first month of the expansion for those who don’t know)

spawnjg: Honestly, they need more reward options for pvp players. You get all these mount tokens but they don't add new/more mounts. I have all the mounts you can buy with pvp tokens, i'm just collecting the mount tokens at this point.

Zithee: As someone who's at around 1800 rating and then doing fun builds on alts in PvP, I am actually having a ton of fun this season. It's probably some of the best WoW PvP has ever felt for me atm. However... the biggest problem by far is the queue times. The DPS queues are entirely dependent on how many healers are available at any given time, and a lot of classes can't even be healers. Healers do have a bigger incentive to play than DPS in general, but that still doesn't mean I always want to play a healer. I wanna have fun on all of my classes/specs.

I think they need to add more heal specs (such as chronomancer mage like in SoD) to classes that do not have a heal spec currently. Of course not all classes could have heal specs thematically, but atleast more classes than the ones currently having access to a heal spec in-game.

LeCaptRage: Dragonflight and War Within in my book is a good time in wow history.

JAFARS0N: Yes, WoW is fuckin dead if you love PvP... at least for me.

What is wow now in 2025? WoW is:

Mythic spam 24/7

Raiding

doing some shitload of outdoor bullshit to get fuck knows what currency for fuck knows for what you need it

Sweaty arenas. oh btw do you know what ARENA is? People where fighting to DEATH there, not chasing fuckin healers and playing hide and seek behind poles... FUCK HEALERS and TANK SPECS IN ARENAS!

Outdoor PvP is dead, unless you need some weekly quest and people do it first day and never fight again... EVER

BG and Solo queue is 20 min

This game is a fuckin joke... how people can enjoy that I don't understand...

jacksonlittle5993: Quit for 4 months at the end of dragonflight and returned for season 1 of arena of TWW. Within a few hours of queing at low rating I was already facing some of the best players in the game as a person who wasn't a full time player. I can't be fcked to play vs a r1's 5th alt that plays 12 hours a day at lower ratings as i climb and try to get back into the swing of things. Haven't played since. 2400 exp and i'm getting dunked on like it's my first day at low ratings. Not even worth the bother honestly.

BANANA42k: Imo the gearing process kinda sucks.

You get farmed in bgs to farm honor, to get honor gear that you still have to upgrade (also totally useless in pve because of the dumb stat scaling pvp armor has), to now getting farmed by people with conquest gear, to buying conquest gear that also must be upgraded and is also useless in pve.

Don't forget ur embellishments, enchants, gems, etc.

No wonder people dont get into pvp.

Eseryl: Trash game, que simulator, just play instead ffXIV or gw2 the best options

blizzart9191: You hit the nail with the explanations on the reward systems... I was a pvp junkie until shadowlands, but the rewards after hitting 1,8( for tmogs) or maybe 1950( for wpn enchant) are just bullcrap and not even worth pushing for it... they need to implement cool stuff in between, that also respects the grind. I have now honour lvl 1060, 30 vicious saddles, yes you still get those( have all mounts already) and every class at least full honour geared twice... these are problems that need to be solved, to keep pvp active again throughout a whole season, and not just mid to end, when mmr inflation kicks in, people get their 1,8 for the favourite t mogs and leave. I hope someone from blizzard reads this.

eyeswideopen627: I stopped playing because of premades in random epic bgs. Getting stomped with no chance of coming back sucks. Blizz should be able to correct this by shuffling the queues, it will increase wait time but would be so worth it . Premades in random suck.

Zachary-jt5uz: No i dont even have yo watch the video, your welcome.

3ssenti4L: No.

roundhousetodaface: regardless good or bad, it's the only playable MMORPG pvp by a stretch.

NcCamus: Solo shuffle is à good thing, we all know the feeling of 10 minutes of wait in 3v3 lfg with People asking for 2400 exp then leaving to the first loss...

I mean im waiting in queue time yes, but i dont have to wait and think to what comp i want to play in LFG too.

Vaxx27: I <3 PVP, and I <3 Healing, I hate it when my teammates doesnt help and they blame me and send me toxic msg.

Sorry for my bad english, not my native language.

Koppa92: The problem with current PVP, from what I feel, is the dynamics and speed of the game. With dumping, where your healing is reduced by almost 50% after almost 5 minutes, and the exaggerated burst of damage from DPS, it's practically unbearable. Before, PVP felt more technical, tactical, about positioning, and managing your OCs without burning them out in a minute. Now, it's so frenetic, and there's so much information to look at because of addons, that it no longer has the longevity it had a few years ago. That's my humble opinion. PVP is clumsy right now.

LastTryMedia: Touched on a lot of main points in a good way, but also missed some points that I believe have a huge impact on players, especially new or casual players. Disenfranchisement through absolute lack of communication from devs, and random BGs being overrun with premades and essentially unplayable 80% of the time. These, certainly for me, are two massive issues for any new player and for the casual PvPer at large. I can't even play rated due to my working 5 nights a week and having 3 kids, and with limited playtime the queue times are simply unbearable. I've given up on both SoloQ and Blitz because it feels like a pointless endeavour.

Gonzalez11David: We can send conquest to alts??

SlappedOut: Arena is a bit much but rbg is fun started back pvping since original cata

Sid3nFTW: the unfortunate part is that no matter how easy it is to gear the gameplay has just went down the drain

alexrobin: I think MoP might be enough scratch the PvP itch for me. Retail has been disappointing me every time I'm dumb enough to resub.

SusejFTW: Do you like feeling like you did something unique or cool to win?

No?

Play wow

babagee7570: It's just boring now, classes all have everything, mobility, interrupts, cc etc, button bloat is absurd, lack of pvp systems, events, just no care or thought goes into pvp from blizzard. Honestly has felt this way the last 10 years or so, makes you really feel like a fool for investing any time into it if they don't even care about it themselves.
