CRZ inherently destroys server based gameplay. In effect there is no server any more.
All the shit bits from world pvp are present - ganking lowbies, roving/flying gangbangers annihilating the equal level by simply over manning them, loss of ability to mine, fish or herb.
And all the good bits from world pvp are absent - sense of community, rivalry, the ability to get revenge, forming fast friendships in the face of assholery.
Even if you are to disregard this completely, CRZ is a massive change to the way the game world works and if you can't see why long term players of the game don't think they ever signed up to this sort of game world you must have rocks in your head. World pvp has been a zombie for years. Most zones have been empty for years. A lot of players started on pvp servers pre flying mounts. The practice and expectation for players for years has been minimal world pvp, especially on alts and this has changed overnight.
People have every right to be annoyed at such sweeping changes to their gameplay. I fully expect that most if not all of those who are saying in the face of change to pvp servers "suck it up" have whined on these very forums about pve changes. Well, guess what - you can say that to. When your raid seizes get changed or difficulty alters t let the bads in you can be simply dismissed with a phrase - "pve realm, deal with it." "Says right there in the terms of service blizzard can change anything they like."
Meh.
