And there most definitely was a very strong PvP community in vanilla. The same people were always in TM/SS or out patrolling high level zones like Eastern Plaguelands. Once BGs were released, the PvP community only got larger and stronger. There were no cross-realm BGs and you actually had to go to the BG entrance to queue. This not only created a great opportunity for world PvP, it also gathered the PvPers of your own faction in one place and then pitted you against familiar enemies every game. You got to know who you were fighting with AND against.
I keep seeing people like you making up excuses and trying to claim a bunch of loosely associated cliques counts as a "community". The rationalization is always the same: 'It's still there! You just have to look for it... in a remote, dusty corner... under a barrel... on a deserted island. I know, it sounds like it's not there, but it totally is if you look hard enough!
Uh huh, nice try. I'm not buying it. What you're calling a "community" is only a shadow of what existed in vanilla, nothing but a sad reminder of how great the community once was.
