Since this has turned into yet another honor/arena/pvp thread:
link
I'm interested in how far they are going to take these changes. Are they willing to take bold steps to make it an actual pvp experience worth playing? Or more baby steps through mediocrity. I'm surprised they want to try and fix this one, if I was calling the shots I'd just shut AV all togeather, then take the lessons learned and apply them to a map that isn't tainted in the players eyes. Half way through WotLK, you could have the grand reopening (with siege engines please).
Quote:I think it's worth pointing out that generally speaking the win/loss percentages for WSG, AB, EotS generally fall somewhere around 55% to 45% on any given day (with Alliance also represented on the higher side). For example, on North American servers yesterday Alliance won more AB battles than the Horde.
AV has gone through greater swings, with alliance winning as much as 75 to 80% of battles (NA servers again as an example) before patch 2.2 and horde winning about 60% so far after 2.2. That being said, there are a bunch of substantive AV changes going into patch 2.3 that will probably shake things up some more (more details on that sometime this week).
