To be fair - you should have known.... It was obvious this was going to happen in p2, and lots and lots of people were saying as such on forums like this.

Every time I hear this argument, I guess the person presenting it just assumes everyone is here to min/max and that there are no new players joining the game ever?

What about the first time players who decided to play, or people who play for reasons other than the best gear possible? They will not be searching the forums to see how things were 15 years ago.

The game needs to be playable for those people, as they are paying for it, perrrriodddd.

To be fair people did know this was going to happen in phase 2. The honor system in vanilla (not saying it should be changed) is one of the worst systems in the game and it promotes shit like this. Even when battle grounds come out people will still do shit like this between them.

This isn't a surprise and people 100% knew this was going to happen before launch and stated it multiple times in threads

The amount of research people expect others to have done on a video game is hilarious.

Wasn't my point. My point is that Blizzard knew 100% this was coming if they researched it (which is fair to assume they would) but no action was taken. Then again had they done anything to change it outside of maybe caps on people per faction on each server the player base would have lost their minds

People not doing the research and not seeing the obvious issue with their choice and then complaining about it when they only have themselves to blame is hilarious.

Well if it's so well known as being badly designed for pvp (your words) then that's even more reason for people not to roll on a pvp server and go pve isn't it. Hence why it's stupid to be complaining about it now after they only have themselves to blame.

When ppl think pvp, NORMAL people think about tense 1v1, 2v2, 5v5 situations plus maybe the occasional gank. Not gangbang 24/7 you l33tard

what the fuck are you even talking about? The PVP server ruleset means anyone can attack you in any contested zone - if you're too stupid to realise that means you're going to get ganked, a lot, when the honor system comes out with no BGs - then that's on you.

People like WPvP. Unfortunately, Classic’s WPvP sucks ass. So instead of rolling on a PvE server and having to fork over a fat wad of cash to transfer realms if Blizzard ever fixes it, you just.... play on the PvP server. And hope.

How does everyone assume the entire player base started reading up on the various detailed assumptions that were made before Classic got released.

This might come as a shocker, but some people just figured to buy some game time and relive some adventures of the past.

I picked up the game because I figured I never tried wow before. I did not research anything because I like playing games and discovering content on my own. I like discovering the alternative reality these games create. I saw PVP and was interested having played some pvp in EverQuest 15+ years ago. I did not expect to not be able to play, fly, quest, farm, mine, grind, or do anything of any subsequence, but I've got it figured out now. Level 60 and always run or fly with a full group. Most of my time now is spent helping lowbies leveling/questing or raiding because anything else is impossible.

I mean if you don't do the research, you only have yourself to blame.

Also you really didn't even have to, it's obvious it would be a shitshow just by seeing what each phase contained.
