You are also subtly mixing up the two questions I stated above. You're taking my discussion of the second question and acting like it's the answer to the first.
Quote:1. Are there things that Blizzard can and should do to make the experience of players on PvP servers better, particularly those who join the servers several months from now?
Yes, there are things that Blizzard should do, and that is a worthy topic in its own right. That, however, is not the topic under discussion. If one wants to talk about what Blizzard should do, then I suggest that a new thread should be created so that this discussion stops going around in circles.
Quote:2. Can some Lurkers of the right temperment enjoy a new and different experience on the PvP servers, even if Blizzard does not make any radical changes to the PvP servers?
But this is the real subject of this thread and is the question that I have been focused on. The part of my post you quoted was part of my answer to explain to Lurkers that in fact the situation is not nearly as dire as Bolty makes it out to be. Bolty is like a guy who dresses up in fancy clothes, walks through a known high-crime neigborhood, gets mugged, and extrapolates that event to claim that the crime rate is insanely high across the country. I'm saying that I've seen more areas of the game than he has and letting Lurkers know that the situation isn't nearly as dire as Bolty makes it out to be. If you are a Lurker who is struggling on the PvP server, then I'm telling you now to be flexible and stick it out. The situation does get better. Oh, and despite the occational problems, the PvP server can be a heck of a lot of fun.
