Now as to PvP being repetative and boring, that just comes down to what you make of it. The game has evolved a lot and much of the pvp depends on the server you're on. With Area 52, it may be a PVE server but it has a very large and active pvp population. This helps a lot with making the game more interesting because of the level of competition that this creates. Another interesting part of PvP that is comming up hopefully within the mid to end of July is the new battleground. It is fun and interesting event based system that is a cross between Ab and AV.
Oh and just to add to the 70k hp coment, that is one system I have a problem with in the game but balances out pretty quick if you're on a higher population server. If you are really interested in wintersgrasp, try to avoid on off times or transfer if you want to a higher pop server. |
Fair enough, I agree, but considering you're talking about recent updates, I wouldn't know anything about them as I quit playing WoW a short while after I got to 80(which was ages ago). After I got to 80, I realised how easy it was to get epics and generally good gear. If you think of Pre-TBC, it was pretty hard to even get good blues, but now, all you do is click on the LFG button, and wait for someone to invite you in a VoA group, which takes a few minutes to complete and the reward is really good epics.
I found WotLK really fun, and when I look back at TBC, I realise TBC was pretty boring and grindy compared to WotLK. As I said, the things that made me quit it is the PvP and how easy it has gotten to obtain epics. And the fact that it was endgame and I've done most of the stuff in it.
