Subject: Looking for some PvP knowledgable Blues.
   I keep hearing about proposed world PvP additions in the future, and I'm all for that. I'd rather do real PvP than the instances against people that we have nowadays. However, I do have some questions/concerns about these proposed additions and PvP in general for a knowledgable CM.

- Do the devs plan to make this world PvP worth our time in terms of honor potential and reward potential, or will we still have to raid instanced BG's for our honor?

- What incentive is there for the casual/non geared/non team player to participate in this world PvP? Battleground instances already tend to be dominated by a few epic'd out, well coordinated teams who steamroll the average group. How do you plan to make this a fun and viable experience in terms of honor and reward for a PvPer who is not as well geared, or can't/won't get into a well coordinated group?

- What sort of strategy can we expect to be involved in this world PvP? Can we expect something on par with the original AV, in which there were multiple ways to achieve objectives, both through the standard "zerg", or through resource gathering and other means, or can we expect it to be more like the current AV, which is a simplified version of the "zerg" with most of the other strategy options taken out or rendered useless?

- Do you plan to impliment safeguards to prevent one side from unendingly dominating another? Note that I'm not asking if you plan to prevent one side from "winning", but how do you plan to prevent one side from creating circumstances such that the opposing side, no matter what it does, cannot effectively regain a foothold and fight back.

- A more general world PvP question. Why do we have DK's? The simple answer is "We don't want you to kill questgivers." Well, why not just make them invincible? DK's are what effectively killed world PvP in the first place, and now that you're trying to bring it back, it seems logical that you would want to take out one of the major roadblocks to it.

   Karrde,

The most I can tell you at this point is that we'll be releasing more specific information on the World PvP in the next 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately we can't answer your questions right now.
