Man you guys on PvE servers are crazy.
Why play WoW? To get better armor. Why get better armor? To look cooler so the enemy faction will be afraid. What does armor do? It makes you stronger...so you can kill the enemy faction easier. The entire game is based around PVP! What's the fun of killing stuff over and over again just to get better armor if you're not actually gonna be in real-environment combat? It's like spending huge amounts of money on a car but not racing it. Am I missing something!? I can't imagine WoW without PVP outside of BGs...that's the sole reason I played the game for so long. I loved PVP and I loved a good challenge.
