Had fun exploring Azeroth with you and Stickypal (Ketchup).

PvP did a lot better from a balance, competition, and meaningfulness standpoint after Vanilla. However, much like comparing Red99 and 2001 Rallos Zek, Nostalrius and 2004 WoW were completely different beasts despite content and mechanical similarities. As with any MMO, it's sort of a "you had to be there" type deal.

Anyhow, WoW PvP in the form of arenas was fantastic from a gameplay standpoint. There were balance hiccups for sure, but the game largely failed as an ESport (2007 to 2009?) because it was far too technical to spectate. That's at least my opinion.
