    You mean turning WM on made it impossible to get content done? Wow tell me more, what a new and novel concept for me, an Alliance player. I've definitely never experienced that for multiple years now or anything. Nope. And you had to deactivate war mode for the FIRST TIME? Oh my gosh, you poor thing.

    This won't give "free" warmode bonus to anyone. Ques locations are still the same and you still have people out there. You just have a chance to GET OUT and have that that PvP rather than being unable to even leave the hub.
    Then do not have War Mode on, WPvP has never been fair or balanced and expecting such is being naive.
    If you cannot handle the unbalanced ganking then turn War Mode off; it is a rather easy solution to a non problem.

    Lol no. The change was needed and is very welcome, Blizzard agreed with players this time, so you are obviously in the wrong. Deal with it.

    This beta test has been great so far. They are identifying lots of bugs to address so that when Shadowlands Launches it goes smooth.

    You quoted the Ve'nari change but you mention XP in your comment. At 60 you can't gain anymore XP so people aren't using it for the XP buff in the maw since you can't go there until you are 60 (The escape is a different zone essentially).

    hey now. i suck at pvp and accept the occasional death for the 10% more stuff. and i am 100% of the time the attackee and even help alliance players if possible.

    when i'm on my alliance alts, i always enjoy the 30% more stuff and nearly never turn wm off. so, all in all, i am a rather pacifist person. but the levels of aggression the alliance shows currently are new to me and i have to turn the gains off. sadly. there is no need to attack every player on sight, especially when they are grey and just logged in. no honor to be had, just toxic killing to the point of griefing.

    don't know how exactly that qualifies me for being attacked by you, but i feel it could be like in my example..
