Wintergrasp was fun. In fact when Wintergrasp was more or less world PvP it was so much fun that the infrastucture could not support the number of players.
Quote:If there were 3 alliance in the zone, then there should have been about the same number of horde. Without the change, you'd have had 100 alliance and 3 horde. Is that any fun, or do you just want your rewards for winning the battle?
Do I need rewards? I enjoy winning as much as anyone. But I have thousands of honor on most of my Stormrage characters. Other than a few gold for completing weekly quests that I could get in the same time spent looting baby quillboars, what is your point? On the contrary, I enjoy Wintergrasp because Wintergrasp, preferably a roughly equal numbered Wintergrasp, is fun.
Since 4.0.3 I have gotten into one Wintergrasp battle at the start. That is not fun, and it is not "open-world PvP" -- epic or otherwise.
Quote:balancing it should make it more fun.
Your mileage may vary.
Actually Wintergrasp might be more balanced if it were uncoupled from honor rewards and VoA. Recently while looking for something else I came upon an email from 2004 in which I described how much fun the battles were between Southshore and Tarren Mill. As I recall the numbers were fairly well matched, and that without any fancy, broken mechanics on Blizzard's part.
