A Marksman Snob goes Beta PvP'ing

[Kevin]

Look at the original Alterac Valley. There was a load of PvE content. It'd be ludicrous for a PvPer to say that content was being jammed down his throat. Much of it was necessary for a win back in the day, coordinating riders, air strikes, etc. Those who didn't like that didn't have to run Alterac Valley, but in no way was the PvE content forced upon them, nor was anything taken off their plates through the inclusion of the new battleground.

My point is that right now the zone doesn't exist. They're adding in a zone that's a hybrid of PvE and PvP. I find it rather shortsighted to whine as if something is being taken away from a player; or better yet, forced upon him. I know people who can't stand the quests in Darkshore. Rather than complain about it, they simply don't go to that zone and the problem is solved.

Actually I did see PvP players gripe about the PvE aspects of AV and they didn't want to PvE when they were there for PvP. And they did feel that PvE content was forced on them to get the PvP rewards they wanted from AV.

And the zone does exist. People are playing in it. I do agree that you can skip a zone. I don't think it's really setting a bad precedent to set it up either. The issue would be that if you needed to go to the PvP town to get a quest to unlock something in a PvE 5 man dungeon, then Blizzard is forcing PvP content on PvE players. I wouldn't care, I do like PvP now and then. But if that door gets opened then yes I see a legit bitch.
