I disagree, the content got worse. The classes became more unbalanced, they put in stupid noob friendly systems like diminishing returns (in WoW) or things like punishment systems in AoC.

High tier PvP in WAR had bad instances, bad RvR lakes and bad class balance (the entire game became protect or kill the bright wizard)

WoW added what after Vanilla? Arenas (gag), a handful of stupid new BGs (WSG is still the best BG in WoW and the only one worth playing), they ruined Alterac Valley.

It's mostly because the original designers of WoW and WAR jumped ship from their respective companies after release.

Do you know where the majority of original WoW and WAR designers now work?

A company called ArenaNet.

imo,

only small scale ranked pvp will save/balance the game (e.g ranked arena games). with arena match's class balance will be next cos it will be easier for devs to monitor OP classed due to ranked system.

e.g: if 90% of top 20 ranked team are class X/ class X/class Y then they are "somehow forced" to dig in to it and balance that class.

Um, AV did change.

Old AV had NPCs, and lots of them, all over the place.

Elite NPCs.

Old AV could take 4+ hours to win because of the NPCs.

Once they removed all the NPCs other than the important ones, AV died.

The first AV match on Shadow Council ever lasted over 8 hours.

I have no problem with 4 v 4 Warzones, but not single elimination death match.

Death match is too noob friendly, it requires a lot less strategy than forcing 8 people to battle over an objective.

As for vanilla WoW I remember how epic was Molten core the first time we fought Golemag for exemple, and the BG were WSG, AB and later on AV that was about the best pvp I had with EvE online...

Old AV was the best ! We even had some program to "premade" if you remember
So everyone in the group was fully in the fight, everyone had a role, some on Def some on Capping and some in frontline. Alot of fun.
