What a really dumb, ill conceived waste of time this is.

3 of us thought oh let's go see what it's all about. Sure enough the
alliance held all towers - as predicted. So in we go and take out 4
of
their
guys and take the tower.
4 or 5 mins later the tower proceeds to fill (and i mean fill) with
at
least
15 non-pvp flagged alliance planning a mass zerg. Swarms of alliance
everywhere.

What, oh what, is the point of this utter nonsense.

Not everyone plays on a PvE server. Not every bit of content added to
the game is equally relevant to every player regardless of level,
faction, realm or ruleset.

Players asked for more world PvP. Blizzard added something they hoped
would satisfy some subset of the player base. Bottom line is that no
one is forcing you to do it anymore than, say, the Darkmoon Faire,
Argent Dawn turn-ins, XRealm BG's or anything you might not want to
do.


Well Put....

it was well put but can you sense the frustration of the o.p.?

it works well on a PVP server but not on a PVE server. Maybe blizzard
should have implemented this change on PVP servers only? it's a
different set of code on those servers so it shouldn't be that hard to
implement.

So people on PvE servers can't get the buff?

The whole point of a "Normal" server is that you can choose whether or not
you want to engage in PvP. Nothing has changed.

it seems to me that the majority of people on PVE servers don't want
to PVP in any form, even BGs.

that's the impression i get but that's just from reading this NG so
that impression may be wrong :)

A Horde guild on my server were unable to fill a Naxx raid so they raided
Darnassus instead ;)

PvP on PvE servers is a nice alternative thing to do, something you can
choose to do. Alliance often come to Crossroads for a bit of fun ;)
