I quit WoW - again - because of all of the pvp bullshit and lack of balance. WoW has been a constant nerf-buff-nerf-buff circle. If your class is over or under powered stick around and that will change and flip upside down soon enough.

At what fucking point does the anti-Christ of WoW pvp, asshole Tom Chilton, sit back in his chair and say 'we're done, everything looks good - we will not fuck with your class anymore". Its never going to happen and as a result I will never go back.

I don't play WoW for PVE, the PVE is tired and old - raids and bosses, scripted PVE encounters, that are dissected 2 days after they go live, is BORING.

I play/played WoW for pvp - and its dead, and they just keep killing it further and further.

So, yes, I'm back to playing WAR - and WAR is a glitchy, buggy mess but at least pvp isn't totally fooked and every class has a chance, and encounters aren't decided by gear, or the fotm class.

WoW tries to balance everything on a 1v1 basis. It's impossible to do. They haven't, nor will they ever, achieve even a decent balance for all classes and builds.

I love PvP but I couldn't stand it in WoW. I agree with you about WAR. I don't think it's quite as buggy as you state, but the PvP is great and balanced for a GROUP effort. Like you said, gear and individual overpowerdness isn't a real factor.

"WoW tries to balance everything on a 1v1 basis."

Aha...no...

There have been a bunch of blue posts explicitly saying that they do not design the game on a 1v1 basis. Take this one for example:

If they did then there would be 1v1 arenas...which there isn't.
