Pride about PvP in an MMO... riiiight. Can't even take the game seriously... hrmmm...

Now, back in my CS days with CAL and all, sure it made sense because it was really all about player skill. But in a fantasy MMO with SO many different stats, talents, abilities, classes... I just don't see how you ever balance it to the point that you're really isolating player skill. If I remember correctly most of the PvP stuff has just been an after thought for WoW and is mainly driven by the fact that so few people will put in the scheduled time that the BS raiding takes and they need something else to do once they hit the level cap.

IMO the PvP QQ at all, about anything, is just sad and I think it takes waaaay too much attention away from the PvE aspect which several million of us signed up for. As far as I'm concerned the whole faction/PVP bit just makes it so I can't group with half the people lagging my server. If they would make dedicated faction/no PvP servers, or let the factions group together, I and several million others would be all over it. Yeah I know, Warcraft has it's lore and yada, yada, but w/e, I enjoy WoW for it's quality gameplay. Anything in a quest beyond WHAT DO I KILL/GET and WHERE are wasted text.
