I'm betting the designers didn't take PVP at all into account when they created these cities. They had some basic requirements and just went at it. They made it the prettiest they could (ignoring that people had to run around in it, I hate the layout of some of those cities!!!). The testers would check for bumps and oddities, but they probably never did a PVP check. <BR/><BR/>So, WoW was shipped and players had fun and didn't think about it until they started raiding cities and strategizing and then realized, hey the horde got screwed. Then blizz realized it and did...nothing. Most likely because the new cities for the 1st xpac had already been designed by the time they got the feedback and also patching a city isn't that high on their priority list because it would cost a lot and wouldn't enhance gameplay too much because town raiding isn't the fad.<BR/><BR/>The fad for blizz is travel time. It's the way all MMOs go. They create this big expansive world, then realize it takes a real day to cross it. So they create shortcuts and mods to lessen travel time. But what's funny is this travel time has given the horde a new way into the city of Stormwind, by raiding from the sea.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I'd like to raid each city once for the bear, but after that I'd be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2227696920491367483.post-78398213619667851662008-11-07T13:05:00.000-08:002008-11-07T13:05:00.000-08:00I think the coolest idea I have seen to get into I...I think the coolest idea I have seen to get into IF is have a lock and two others sneak in (usually running in naked and dieing over and over) and then lay dead for about an hour. Once everyone thinks they have given up, they all go and rez in the basement of an abandoned house and summon in a raid of 30-40 people then go wreak havoc. I was still lvling at the time but I was impressed.<BR/><BR/>I miss the old world days of PvP. Maybe achievements like this will help bring some of that back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2227696920491367483.post-69307336377878646202008-11-07T12:00:00.000-08:002008-11-07T12:00:00.000-08:00It doesn't really matter the defenses.

All it takes is 1 Paladin to run through all the defenders, solo tank/spank the faction leader, then bubble hearth.<BR/><BR/>Oh wait, they nerfed Pallys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
