Does this look more or less fun that a weekend of WoW?

Weekend Warriors – Live Action Role-Playing from Ryan Pelham on Vimeo.

I have nothing against wow, bat a weekend in front of my computer vs. a weekend running around swinging foam swords… This video is a LARP in Connecticut by the way.

Almost a year ago now I complained about BGs and uneven teams. It seems like it would be pretty simple to let the same number of players join from each faction, but here we are 1 year later with the same complaint popping up daily.

Blizzard we know you’re making enough money to fix this. Now do you care about your game or not?

I really find myself agreeing with a lot of what this guy has to say.

Arenas are a way for blizzard to avoid spending time and money programming for pvp.

Arenas run on class imbalances.

The WOW PVP community to unite and demand from Blizzard that they shift their focus away from arenas where they will never be able to properly balance small matches fairly amongst all classes. Rather their focus should be on large battlegrounds where the sheer number people and diversity of classes will take the spotlight off of glaring class imbalances that prevent skilled players for being successful in PVP because they are playing a class that happens to be weak against certain other classes.

We should be fighting the other faction, always.

Anyway go post on that thread!

Interesting thread here on the easiest class for an unskilled player to pvp with. Suggestions include death knight, ret pally, and arcane mage. Personally, I think the melee classes require decent reaction time as you chase people around, face the right direction, etc. A mage or similar can stand there and push buttons until melee gets in their face or they get crowd controlled.

People who play rogues must be feeling lucky because they are still OP – hard to understand how a class is consistently given such good damage and survivability. Ret pallies get lots of complaints. Death Knights also. With all three the thing is good damage and good survivability. This thread complains about all 3.
