Quote:With Arena, imo, it's even easier than that. The major draw is the gear and only the gear. At least with PvE, you can claim to be interested in the content, story and lore of a place in addition to the gear. With PvP...what's the point, if not to get better gear to stomp people more quickly? Look at how all the sudden interest "took off" in PvP, with the addition of easy to acquire gear, for instance. Pretty much since it's inception, arena was seen as the easiest path to great gear. Now Blizz is changing that. This move will, imo, have huge ramifications in the PvP circuit.Not necessarily. A lot of people like the challenge of PvP and they do it for the fun of it. That's not really any different than the people who raid specifically to see content. But there is probably an equal amount of people in both groups who are interested in advancing their character and PvP or raiding are basically the only way to do that if you've already maxed out on solo and 5-man content. :)
