Blizzard, will you please tell us what is the direction you intend this game to go towards? There are people who PVP who are claiming the game is moving towards being mostly based around PVP. There are people who play PVE who are claiming that PVP is a mistake and should be removed. There are people in between who enjoy the present environment. There are the countless arguments between these folks about “welfare epics”, the merits or lack thereof of the ways in which PVP and PVE have been implemented, the capabilities of various classes within these environments, and the roll each class should or should not be playing within these environments.

I am not asking for a detailed list of what you (Blizzard) intends to implement over the months and years to come. I only ask for some indication of where you stand with regards to the question of PVP and PVE and the relationship between the two. There is a lot of speculation and misinformation floating around at the moment due to the lack of any recent official statements on this issue, and this has lead to these massive arguments on the forums. I would think that it would be in your (Blizzard’s) best interest to come out with a simple statement of some kind informing the players of your future intentions. Such a statement might not eliminate the arguing going on at the moment but might provide a baseline sufficient enough to prevent some of the wilder speculation going on and perhaps reduce the overall amount of arguing.

At the very least, such a statement would provide players with some information that would allow players to determine if there is a future in this game for them. Many players have a preference for one play style or the other. It would be dishonest to lead these players on, only to have their play style eventually eliminated. If both play styles are to remain and people are informed of this, we can hopefully put to rest some of the arguments about “X play style is better than Y play style” and get on with the business of trying to make them successfully coexist in the same game.

It'll go something like this:


The game will be here, they will do things to it, you will continue to pay to play it.


That's pretty much it.

We intend to keep focusing on fun, advancing the storyline of World of Warcraft and Azeroth and finding ways to continue giving players a challenge while making as much as possible still accessible. We intend to add siege weapons in PvP and we intend on continuing to make great PvE encounters.

There will always be argument about direction and many will argue for or against a direction as if it is the way to go or the way not to go, but World of Warcraft offers many things to many people and we like it that way. We want to continue to entice players to take part in many facets of the game.

They could tell you, but then they would have to kill you.

Edit: oh noes, they told you before I had a chance to post my warning, you better hide!

If its supposed to be fun why is it all about grinding gear?

If it's not fun, why are you still giving them money?

Just an FYI in case the developers haven't received the memo:

Grinding up (X number) of (Y-resources) in order to have some scripted, retardedly anamatronic, AI lacking entity magically appear and lumber accross the PvP battle field will NOT be fun.

Just saying...you know...in case you were thinking about making seige weapons like that.

I know, figure the odds, but I thought I'd toss it out there.

I would really like to believe this, but actions speak louder than words. We haven't seen new pvp content come out since the expansion, all new content is being put into the next expansion. The difference in pvp content VS pve content is quite the gap. New iterations of old battlegrounds would seem like a content addition if the old version were still available to people, however all we are seeing are minor rebalances of instances.

To top if off pve related bugs are addressed much more quickly than pvp related bugs, its been quite a while since the CMs/devs have said anything on the topic of the server side only ability checks that are being discussed as the GCD issues for melee classes.

Hearing "Wait for the expansion" and "Wait for the next content patch" really turns out to read "Cancel wow and wait for something else." Yes my account is canceled, yes I am reading this forums while waiting for another mmo to take wow's place.

Name a few hobbies that aren't "grinds" if that's all you focus on is what you have to do to get the payoff. The majority of all time-consuming hobbies require some kind of "grind".
