Interesting pvp tidbits
I ain't leaving without your soul and I am sober this time.

Would be neat if they implemented something new and fancy to BGs, i really hope it comes soonblue wrote: Just to sum it up...
Arenas became the focal point of PvP because there exists in the rating system an easier way to measure skill. On the contrary, battlegrounds shifted from the focus and the means by which the most competitive PvP rewards could be obtained because there's almost no measurement of skill. Someone could AFK their way to great gear just as easily as someone legitimately playing to win every match.
We don't like this though, as arenas really are meant to be an E-sport side game, not the end all, be all of World of Warcraft PvP. We understand it's a niche game that's not for everyone. What we want to do is revamp the battleground system and create some better functionality to measure skill so that players have access to more comparable rewards to those issued via the arenas. We'd also like to provide the means for player to level up via PvP should that be their preference.
We have a new battleground on the way for Wrath of the Lich King as well. It's looking pretty cool so far.

This actually does not sound that bad, i'd rather play BG's than arena any day, and tbh im quite pissed that you now need stupid arena rating to get pvp gearLateralus wrote:Would be neat if they implemented something new and fancy to BGs, i really hope it comes soonblue wrote: Just to sum it up...
