The PVP setup in WoW sucks. If I want to go slaughter some Alliance I should be able to travel to a different zone and have at it. Not wait in some retarded line for 30+ minutes.

The best PVP in a MMO game that I have played was Dark Age of Camelot. Get a sweet group together and start trolling out in the frontier. Ahhh...good times.

um get off the CAREBEAR servers and you can...

wtf is wrong with people...

PVP server you go everywhere and kill people and for the record DOAC sucked ass.
WoW is 500x the game any past MMO is so far..

pvp.. pve..casual leveling...humor... and just plain fun..

"Carebear" servers are great. Don't have to deal with all the little kids trying to be grownup and tough by playing on a PvP server and calling people names (like carebear) ;) Don't have to deal with people who can think of nothing more fun than to corpse camp you for 10 hours. Much less "2 y ur b wut ne1; 4 c plz pst???//?" type stuff to have to translate. Especially as a horde, where PvP is just a click away - have I mentioned how much instant queues rock? If you want world PvP, just type /pvp and go out mining, farming, etc. People on PvE servers are probably more likely to attack you since it's rare to see someone flagged, whereas it's run of the mill for PvP servers.

Dunno what servers you tried but WoW PVP servers are not like that at all...
mostly adults play on the last 2 servers I played on Gorefiend and now sageareas people have much better things to do than corpse camp.. they hit you and move on... or they get wiped out by Alliance 60s that will come to discourage campers... Ive never had anyone camp me for more than 1 res and if they do that ive got my guild backup there in minutes anyway...

noone talks in l33t speak... I dunno what game youre playing this isnt counterstrike...


i play on Eredar and the alliance like to corpse camp, especially when its 5 level 38+ alliance against a single lvl 28 horde that just wants to do his quests. fvcking douchebags.

i don't see any of the leet speak at all. i've played on other servers and never saw the leet speak unless someone was making fun of it.

Read the PvP forum some time, about 20% of all threads are people whining about corpse camping.

Cross server battlegrounds have told me everything I need to know about leetspeak and maturity in general. I wish the server rulesets were segregated; without fail some of the least skilled, least mature and most fond of all-caps / leetspeak are those on the PvP servers in my group, and I'd rather not have them on my team.

Don't take it personally, I'm sure PvP servers have plenty of great people. CV and other WoW players here on AT are great examples of it. But every 12 year old little Timmy who wants revenge on the world for having his lunch money stolen or who wants to act all tough and grownup chooses a PvP server, and we're dealing with a sum total of a lot of players here, not individuals. It only takes a few drops of mud to ruin a glass of otherwise clean water.

Just commenting on the trend.

we've had 2 people tell you that their gameplay is not like that. i'd say the trend is more towards olur experience than yours.

Playing on PvP servers, you're seeing them subjectively. I see the trend objectively from enough BGs to rack up 40k lifetime kills since x-realm BGs. You're also ignoring the fact someone's already pulled out the carebear insult, which is pretty much the "ur mom!!1!1" of online gaming. What's even more telling is that CV is a nice, bright guy; he likely only did it out of habit since it's so predominant on PvP servers.
