Why is the only path to level 80, questing and pve grinding when, (for some) ,leveling through battlegrounds would be a much better experience? When will blizzard ever allow experience through pvp?

This isn't a PvP game.

This is a PvP and PvE game.

Um... as recent a 3 years ago, you could turn in tokens for XP.

Could being the keyword though. I wish they'd add that back.

Using the "4 years now.." excuse worked for druids, so this is a plausible attempt for your idea.

"Better" is a subjective term.

Yes. Believe or not some of us find fighting people slightly more engaging than computer controlled characters.

This game is both. So it should offer the option of both.

Ah, indeed. Blurry eyes + Friday afternoon at work = lrn2read syndrome.

Yes the game is both, but the main focus is pve content. It is centered around levling to 80, gearing up, and raiding. Arena and pvp in general are simply a way of offering a break to pve content, not an alternate leavling option.

agreed. ever since arena this game has changed to make pvp better, not the other way around.

i think blizzard wants you to see both ends of the spectrum, rather then just do one the entire game. This way when you choose to either be a hardcore raider or pvper you can make a better decision.

Is it really? You might want to skip to the present where Blizzard puts a lot of focus on PvP, including actual tournaments and the like. I've yet to see prizes awarded to the guys who beat Ulduar first.
