You do realize OW PVP is something that can be exploited via consensual win/lose win/lose alternating. OW PVP rewards should be reserved for castle sieges and very large scale battles. I also think BG are very artificial. I'd rather see a rift style open world pvp mechanic whereby you fend off invasions and have npc help to fill in slots when there are not enough players to engage in the defense of a city or some piece of land.

No BG"S!!!!

Without PvP gear, PvE gear will imbalance PvP and make people come back to the forums and complain that they have to PvE in order to PvP.

BGs provide quick access to an engagement that happens to have a numbers balance, as opposed to running around hoping to encounter some other group that gives some semblance of a challenge.

If EME is reading these forums, I hope they're taking this feedback with a grain of salt. These "remove BGs" threads are complete logic vacuums.

lulz... the mob mentality of the pvp action in this game is broken. it basically comes down to whether you're in the guild with the most people.

I don't see why you can't do both.

I loved DAoC rvr, and even LoTR -- they incorporate pve aspects into pvp on a large scale.

That being said, instanced capture the flag or resource fights are fairly entertaining for solo play -- plus, honestly, it's a great place for the pvp wary to start to get their feet wet.

The merger of the two is the one thing, I think at least conceptually, that Warhammer did right .. I mean, it was a god awful game, but incorporating both options is, in my opinion, the best way to go.

The only reason people don't want BGs is because nobody ever wants a fair fight, as soon as you do an even match in OWPVP, you just bring more of your buddies.

You lose at skill and try to make it up with numbers.

You get no such BS in a battleground, if your team sucks, you will LOSE.

Battlegrounds dont kill open world pvp so much as flying mounts and teleports from city to city do imo.

That's a wonderful suggestion, let's get rid of transportation and do everything by foot. Let's see how many people love that idea of yours and stay subscribed.

BGs are a must.

It is a critical part of end game content.

If there are no BGs, you can kiss my membership as well as others good bye.

Just stating fact, WoW open world died with dungeon finder and flying. They take people out of the world and thus kill world pvp. World pvp was alive in WoW after BGs were introduced.
