PvE server

A PVE server choice would be great!

god your dumb
nobody is afraid of what you said, were all just laughing at you people crying for a pve server.
your a vocal minority, its not going to happen, this thread is a joke.

I find it amusing to be called "dumb" by someone who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're":

Now go burn ants with a magnifying glass or drool on yourself while mouth-breathing, whatever it is you PvP neanderthals do.

nobody is afraid of what you said

It's interesting how upset and angry the pro-world-PVP fans become about these threads discussing the pros and cons of PvE servers. You and other world-PvP fans certainly respond as if you're afraid, especially since the admins have made it clear that their goal is a PvP server. That's of course their right, and no one questions that - we're all guests on their server. We're just talking and suggesting in a Suggestions forum - and yet even the discussion worries you.

In any event, from what I've been hearing, BG queues are growing longer due to faction imbalance, and that's something Nost will need to avoid to preserve both world PvP and BG PvP - for previous examples, look at populations on the original retail PvP realms like Illidan (horde 16:1 over alliance), Sargeras (alliance 22:1 over horde), or Kel'Thuzad (one of my vanilla homes, 22:1 alliance over horde). One faction forces the other to switch or leave, world PvP effectively ends anyway, and one faction's quest lines are experienced by very few. Faction imbalance happens on PvE servers also, of course - but not so often, and it's driven by BG, not world PvP.

World PvP doesn't happen on faction-imbalanced PvP servers any more than on balanced PvE servers - only difference is you'll get far more BG PvP on the PvE servers.

I played alliance in retail Vanilla WoW and decided to roll Horde this time around to experience the Horde side of the story (plus it would be nice to be on a winning side more often for once). So I made a tauren shaman. Holy shit! Questing in the tauren starting area is the worst thing in the WORLD - it's fit for someone with a mount, not a level 4 newbie. The travel times are insane compared to, say, Northshire, Teldrassil, etc. So after playing a while, I felt like a fish out of water, then reading the forums, I discovered that there's a "faction imbalance". Plus I missed Westfall a lot. So I changed, I'm playing Alliance now. I can only imagine that most other "nostalgic" players such as myself would likely not want to switch from Alliance because they just don't feel "at home" in Horde. Besides, if I wanted the "easy way out", I'd be playing retail.

So, I'm just pointing out that "faction imbalance" was the final reason I needed to hear to switch back to Alliance, so maybe it will affect other players the same way too. I may just be hopeful

And as for you, Ticktock, if I wanted to play BGs for PvP, I'd play Destiny, Call of Duty, or a number of other games where PvP means teleporting to a map and playing what seems more like a "competative sport". I like WoW for its world PvP. No other game does it better than WoW, and that's what makes WoW what it is. Creating 2 factions who hate each other and making the players choose? Making each faction unable to understand the language of the other one? That's what created the competitive community in WoW. That's what made some guilds notorious, taking their reputations outside of WoW into forums and making them rivals with other guilds. That's what allowed for EPIC (though notably messed up on some level) events such as the bombing of the funeral in Winterspring.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a pvp server. Some people prefer it, just as some prefer pve. It's all personal preference and one person's opinion is no better than another's. If the devs want to spin up a pve server I would definitely migrate, otherwise I'll probably just level a priest in both factions and play the one that gets to 60 first.

The time spent the PVE carebears wanting, and whining on the forums here for PVE server could've been time spent learning how to code their own server, or moving to said PVE server. It goes to no surprise despite what's already been said and done by the devs and players at large, the pve carebears continue to whine.

It is a PvP server by want and choice, and thus the resources and time go to that. Period.

You're welcome to wait a few years if you're still wanting against these same, generous, wonderful devs, to make and dedicate a pve sandbox for you kids. But it'd definitely be years. If at all.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Learn to adapt, and enhance your skillbase/mind.

You PvP mouthbreathers could adapt and enhance your psychopathic tendencies to gank lowbies and act like total douchebags by learning the human concepts of empathy and compassion and realize that there are real people whose game time you are ruining by repeatedly killing their characters (who, being 52 to your 60 have no chance of fighting back) just so you can attain "honor" in the cheapest, most dishonorable way.

I'd switch to a PvE server in a heartbeat if I could transfer my character.

No PvE server? Yeah, bye then. I just don't have the time between work and RL to let some 15 yo fats having fun by letting them camp my corpse for 24/7.
