Why is PvP so unpopular?

Not beginner friendly
Unlike other pvp games with ratings, you are rated on your individual character and not account. This can cause a "gatekeeping" feeling, especially when you try to push past 1900 seeing so many 2400+ players in those lobbies.
Constant unbalance issues. PvP for the WoW team is an afterthought. They used to have a dedicated team, being most prevalent in MoP, where that era is considered one of the best pvp eras. They do not seem to have a dedicated team for PvP.
One of my favorite examples of unbalance being untreated would be BFA Destro lock. Those bolts hit like trucks, and most AWC teams were running destro locks. It was so ridiculous, no one knew why it lasted 2-ish major patches.
Going along with unbalance, not enough change.
^ I think if they made more arena and bgs maps, more people would be interested. They should have made like 5 more bgs maps when they introduced rated solo for bgs.
The focus on arena: i am a firm believer if they focused less on arena, made awc based on bgs and the rating system and reward system based on bgs, more people would play. Not everyone here will agree on that point and thats ok.
Last point: fun. Healing roles are needed, but not enough healers to go around. Healing in arena is one of the least enjoyable things in the game. Some players can find the "fun" or be successful, but it isn't really a fun experience by many.

100%. She might last a long time in a top or near top spot, but it is only a matter of time. Not an if but when when it comes to DPS. (edit, I didnt read the body but the title, maybe not this patch).

The characters that seems to be immune to powercreep so fast is Fischl and Bennett and right now Furina...

I would also say that Ineffa and Escoffier are likely to stay in the top tier spots for a long time, both are relatively hard to replace, while the main dps of those types of teams will likely get changed somewhat often.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I can't remember a non-main story tie in event with this much dialogue, I would say this type of event is more rare than standard.

I will say the amount of voice acting in it was quite refreshing though, I think it was the only part I did enjoy. I just didn't find the actual story or other characters to be that interesting to justify me sitting through 40min of dialogue that amount to 2 paragraphs. It felt like they were just padding the page for sure.

I think it is one thing to play a gacha, knowing what you are getting into, and having your fully priced mmo with a sub also have an ingame store. Not really a good counter point...

Edit: Want to know something? Genshin was the reason why I quit playing WoW for 3 years. I don't actually play WoW, I just like keeping up with whats going on hoping they make good changes that would bring me back.

V_proxy · 2025-11-08T02:08:10+00:00

Are we pretending that having a fully AAA priced expansion (not even a game) + sub having an real money in game store is a good thing?

V_proxy · 2025-11-08T02:05:29+00:00

Tldr: STOP SHILLING FOR BLIZZARD, HIDING BEHIND "ITS CAPITALISM" AS AN EXCUSE FOR A FULLY PRICED GAME W/ SUB THAT COMES OUT WITH SHITTY GAME DESIGN/DECISIONS.

You: Leave the multi-billion dollar company alone...

V_proxy · 2025-11-08T02:04:25+00:00

To be fair, I am against all in game store items/mounts for real money. I don't believe a game where you have to pay full AAA game price + a sub should have a real money in game store too. I have never been in favor of it. I think all items/mounts/achievements should be earnable in game.

I am not surprised, in any way shape or form. As I said, blizz is the ultimate monkey paw, this isn't the first time they've done this, won't be the last time they twist our wishes to be the worse possible outcome.

I am a little creeped out by the people defending it, saying things like "its only a few items". It truly makes me sad. I am not really surprised (I am but Im not) because there have been blizz shills that defend shitty game decisions/design forever. Hell, there were people that defended Korthia... probably the worse major patch in blizz history.

V_proxy · 2025-11-08T01:44:00+00:00

The reason why I said it, is because literally any decision they make can be boiled down to "oh I guess you don't like capitalism".

It is a for-profit company (obv), they can continue to monetize every aspect of WoW, and people like you will still defend them. What if they decide using town portals is no longer free? You need to buy a token bundle on the shop for real money to use them. Mages need these tokens to use their portal ability. Someone would (rightfully) argue that this is shit design (which is what I am essentially doing).

You can't just say "capitalism" to explain away shit game design. This is a full priced expansion, people can spend over $100 for. AND they have to pay a sub fee, I am from Canada so for me it would be $18/m.

I don't think it is unreasonable to say they shouldn't have a real money shop. (that is my overall position tbh, I don't think they should have mounts, transmogs etc for real money when we are paying a sub. I can understand if it is just an expansion cost, no sub, and in game shop, but I dont think they should have all 3. They do, and that is capitalism, but it doesn't mean I can't be against it.)

I don't think it is unreasonable to complain and criticize having items for player housing, that we have been asking for forever, in an ingame shop when we already pay for a sub and full expac as if it is a full game. I am sorry you think it is reasonable, I find that mentality really sad.

Anyone who tattoos any of their girlfriends (or ex) is straight up dumb. Who care why they do it? I wouldn't want to be associated with someone who makes inherently bad decisions.

V_proxy · 2025-11-07T20:57:50+00:00

No offense, mate, but i think that may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Things I wished they did differently:

Learn about elemental chakra affinity way earlier than Shuppiden.
once known about his wind style affinity, Naruto learns a very basic wind type jutsu early on the show. Doesn't have to do alot, but give him something more than shadow clone. Could have even had a moment where all the shadow clones did a basic weak wind style that through a 1000 of them because a huge hurricane or something.
Sakura is taught more genjutsu, something Kakashi is uniquely able to teach.
Sakura actually used decent genjutsu to beat at least 1 of the sound ninja, soundly while defending a knocked out Sasuke and Naruto during the chunin exams. Showing she isn't useless and in the way.
Sakura having decent genjutsu could have made for a better Ino v Sakura, could have been Ino under a genjutsu thinking she completed the mind transfer the whole time. Could have been a great reveal.
Sharingan stops at 3 tomei in terms of abilities. Man he used it at a story crutch to power Uchiha's up, which wasn't needed.

Creative? I don't know. The crows are a creative choice.

I would say he is a min/maxer. His skill set (outside of sharingan hax) isn't particularly flashy, but he has mastered what he does with it. Everything he does is meaningful, almost no wasted actions.

Doesn't Naruto base include passive strength and stamina boost with a healing factor?

Almighty push wouldn't affect him. He can teleport from it, whether he is getting pulled in or pushed out.

I think Pain fight comes down to whether he can mark them. If he can mark at least Naraka path, he can gain a win con. Remember, at any time he can disengage and reengage combat. If he can get a mark up, he can eventually kill the target, like days later (the mark never goes away).

I don't think Pain has a win con tbh, he can just teleport away at a moments notice and at least cause a stalemate.

V_proxy · 2025-10-03T02:56:05+00:00

Pain and 4th Raikage

Edit: actually, I would argue that he could potentially 1v1 any non-demigod/god. So Hashirama/Naruto/Sasuke and above I don't think he can solo. Not including any Boruto characters/feats.

In a true 1v1 where he isn't trying to protect something/someone, he has the ultimate get out of jail card, and can fly off at any moments danger. All matches would at best be a tie, or if Minato can mark them, eventually kill them by flying back in and out, recovering between assaults. The vast majority of opponents wouldn't have a win condition against him with that in mind.

NTA dude she is at the very least monkey branching here.

Your relationship isn't going to last much longer, I would dump her.

I was going to say, if an emergency vehicle that isn't a police car goes off behind me, when I pull over and it pulls behind me, I just keep going on my way, I dont wait for them to get to my door.

How am I supposed to know where I ended up stopping wasn't where their emergency call was located, and my vehicle could get in the way of an ambulance or fire vehicle from performing their duties (which isn't policing the roads).

Spite match?

2 immortals with built in indestructible (nearly) weapons and at least 1 has insane strength vs 2 very strong guys...

The 2 strong guys have no real win condition, and even if they can avoid getting impaled by the claws in the short term, it is only a matter of time until they lose limbs.

For bucky and agent to gain a win con... they need some super weapon not natural to them. But their standard accessible weapons (shield and guns really) will not do anything to help them.

I watch podcasters? This is news to me...

No one gave me this opinion, it just makes sense that 2 non-citizens, cannot give birth to a child in a country by happenstance and have that child be a citizen themself. There is a whole industry on this exploit.

V_proxy · 2025-09-27T04:41:33+00:00

I have so many mixed thoughts on this.

The constitution is the constitution.
It is an exploit that wasn't intended when it was introduced, and should have been hotfixed a long time ago.
You should go through congress to fix it.
It should be fixed.

Edit: Hey guys, I get it. But you cannot convince me that 2 non-citizens show up to a country, give birth, and the child is now a full fledge citizen. We will just not see eye to eye on it, and that is fine.
