I was inconvenienced at times, mad at times, but moreso rewarded, and it wasn't all that much. Most PvP action was with post-60 life (blues and epic hunting time) centering around instances that had hot-potato temporary holding between horde and alliance. I'm glad wild west "outlands" is wild with open pvp between factions. Most of the PvP action will move there, and levelers aren't really bothered either way.
This is what I'm afraid of. I do not like having to look over my shoulder when I'm trying to enjoy a game. To me, this is a really bad idea.
Likewise, most of the leveling from 60 to 70 is going to be IN outlands. Sure, there will be quests in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, but will that really be enough to get you to 70? I don't think it will.
Quote:The biggest action always centered around the biggest raiding parties, and even they weren't always keen on PvP--wanting to get on with the instance. I've waded through entire guilds of the other faction because they had orders to not engage in PvP, and just 'get to the instance'
Maybe, but all it takes is one jerk and that can collapse.
Quote:Honestly, a corpse run from this "close to instance graveyard" policy Blizzard has is minor time offset best. It used to be worse, but GY's are so close to hotspots there's little to complain about.
It's still time wasted that could have been better used because not only is it travel from the graveyard, it's also buffing.
Quote:Anywhoo. Nothing's set in stone, but I think both Blood Elf faction and Open PvP changes are perceived to help negate population imbalances favoring alliance.
Any guesses on the Alliance Race?

The Blood Elf, yes, but open PvP, no. I don't think Open PvP will help balance the two factions at all. All it does is let the jerks on the PvE servers get to be even bigger jerks.
As to the Alliance race, I'm sticking with the Dranei.
