That March/April estimation by me turned out to be pretty accurate, actually. Stormrage finally became a stable server in late March, and just now we finally got the REAL PvP ruleset that should have been IN PLACE BEFORE THE GAME WAS RELEASED. *cough*
Now all the level 60's on PvP servers can crow because they got there in "easy mode" and can lord it over all the others who have to struggle heavily against the player hunts, which encourage ganking.
I consider the latest patch we just had to be the true release version (since I never expected Battlegrounds at release; just a working, viable PvP system). All money you and I have paid to Blizzard before then has been money paid to help them beta test.
And if you enjoyed it anyhow, then there's not much you can complain about. :) You had fun. Isn't that what you were paying for? I know that's what I was paying for.
Fun is the final arbiter. :P

Actually i never played Beta ( i wish i did now) so i was unaware initially about no Honor System and Battlegrounds. But i would have to say is you are a "Prophet". I read with much interest your opinion on WoW and why you were not initially going to purchase the game and lot of your insight and speculation was true. I also see now why you were unhappy with them not implementing their full honor system (honor and dishonor). It is going to be a nightmare for those in their 50's on a PvP server and you are right, those that got to 60 got it on "easymode".
