doom7872: Not even watched the video yet or know what's going to be said but I'm gonna comment now;

Wow what a great idea, I can't wait for none of it to happen ever.

adityasihag4: Rated blitz needs to be strictly solo queue to reduce win trading

krisumusic: I think a "PvP city/hub" that's free to play would be great. I've barely touched PvE besides leveling since I did mythic in legion and in season 1 of BfA. But I love the lore and world of WoW so I still wanna level and explore every expansion.

jushin1819: Great stuff and I’m sure Blizz would love to put some folks on this, but the fact is that there are tables that need designing for player housing.

svsva-ey2ux: Yeah the option to que into 3's flex, solo suffle, and 2's flex would be good

Veechii: This is what GW2 has for it's pvp, and WoW needed to yoink it a decade ago.

boganbattalion7088: I have said this for ages, wow pvp as a stand alone type deal would be awesome

rct6518: I think WoW PvP can just be a niche thing within Warcraft like it is now. It is what it is. Less than ~12% of WoW enjoyers actually PvP. Blizzard realizes this and essentially abandoned it over a decade ago. There are simply too many games that do PvP right in 2026 (they can't compete). The game has to be fully built around PvP or it has very little chance of sustained success. Asking to essentially rework the entire monetization model & systems for a PvP only mode F2P is wild. I live on planet Earth. Lets ask them to spend 1000s of valuable development hours to rework the entire PvP system while we are at it (for ~12% of the population). C'mon. . .

tama-4225: As someone who hasn't played in years, a f2p PvP only limited version of the game would certainly temp me. Hell I'd probably even buy all the transmogs I have on my inactive account before long

gerribrah: I would like to have more pvp modes

Barnnzy: Shuffle is the most played PvP mode. Far more then blitz and 3v3/2v2. Taking it away would be a mistake

SZmby: ABSOLUTELY

Rukhas2008: I'd like them to add a Rogue like version of this with pvp and pve. I think that would be fun if done right. A mix of pvp and pve.

gie5834: Love the idea of waging bets on players about to duel. This was a thing back in the day and helped mold name familiarity of players who were great duelers on the server/community (battlegroup)

demover7: Honestly wow arenas mechanically are still kind of unmatched. The depth is insane. Ability/class knowledge, Cooldown trading, fake casting, positioning, comp synergy. The real problem is accessibility. There are people who have played this game for 10 years and are still scared of pvp. Its understandable.

I really think in order to appeal to the masses (in pvp only) they need to make every class have like 5 buttons max. You can give each class a couple passives and then each spec gets its own passives. You can add depth by keeping a talent tree, although highly simplified, and be able to switch out certain abilities for different matchups or game modes at the start. Simplicity is what attracts people. If someone who is brand new at the game can get on and kinda figure things out after a few games that's what will bring more people in. Skill floor low, skill ceiling high. Another thing to think about is if these changes were made it would be new to EVERYONE. The entire community would be on a somewhat level playing field. Obviously there would be outliers, but nothing like it is now.

But, of course there are some downsides. There could be subscription cannibalism as mentioned. If you only want to pvp then why sub? With the influx of f2p players there would be more cheating or smurfing which every f2p game is always battling. An even more split playerbase when mmo players and pvpers already feel disconnected. Way more balance exposure. If a mass amount of people are playing this mode and pvp is the main attraction, balance scrutiny will go absolutely nuclear, less abilities would be easier to manage but... lets be honest... the current pvp devs aren't exactly equipped lol

I still dream of wow pvp popping off and becoming as big as games like csgo, valorant and league but, i think we have a long way to go.

st1gzy: Need 2s solo queue real bad, and non shuffle form 3s solo queue after that

cavalo.d.t: First, they need to fix the entire PvP system.

drdorenton1060: I haven't played wow in a while but I'd 100% play if it was f2p

JodsLife1: ngl wow devs are killing pvp by making it worse every xpac ... its become so bad that we cant even get builds off websites any more as they are STILL not updated ... addons are far worse than they used to be but for some reason still in the game (wtf??) things that just need maintenance never get it (BGB class stacking in teams is still horrific) the examples go on ... they refuse to dedicate resources into the systems that make the game thrive ... instead they spend an absurd amount on housing ... a system NOBODY uses but all creators back because they know the level of investment in it and dont want to bash blizzard.

sygmarvexarion7891: *Remove premades from epic bgs.

*Remove broken OP healers keeping up 10 people while spamming 3 buttons and /lol.

*Remove broken OP rogues that destroy you in the opener.

*Reverse the changes to some specs to only do damage during cds and have 0 sustained damage outside cds. Specs like ret paladin and all hunters.

In fact, just reverse everything that Midnight brought in terms of PVP.

PVP IS NOW FIXED AND FUN, and I may consider resubbing to this dreadful expansion.

sp4st1337: Meanwhile he sitting in que for 15min XD

bradentraub: This is literally exactly what Guild Wars 2 does for their instanced PVP and it works wonderfully. It would 100% work for WoW.

Zetherior: F2P pvpers can level tp max via unrated pvp.. because that's still a thing in the game.. we used to level through just pvp cause it was fun.

OG_Loudermilk: Yall expecting a lot from a small indie company

NewVision3160: Should have PvP servers that have no sharding for WPvP. Emerald Dream in it's day was so bad ass with all its WPvP and faction vs faction events. Elves of the North would raid Iron Forge and as a proud Dwarve of Clan Battlehammer it was my duty to respond to the Call to Arms and defend the city. Was also in a all Orc guild that would set up historical PvP battles with the Alliance. Sharding killed this and has never been even close to what it was with Warmode.

haishawang9339: a love letter to incompetent devs lul

hrkjcl1: I mean it's a good idea but blizzard can't balance a gyro. They are getting better but still awful at it
