World Of Warcraft: Player Versus
Player
World of Warcraft is a multi million player
online virtual world of fantasy. In this vast world there are many experiences
and new finds. Players can pick a profession which they will use to create items and dominate
the auction house, making thousands of gold. Players can also catch wild pets
to use in pet battles. The greatest thing a player can do though is fight each
other. PvP or player versus player is a huge aspect of WoW. It involves fighting each other
with powerful abilities from each class(character) and obtaining the best armor to keep
you alive. Plus choosing a team of damage, tanks and healers to dominate certain
game types such as capture the flag or capture and hold bases. As a player in
World of Warcraft I personally prefer PvP over any other aspect of the game. It
allows for you to blow off steam or just compare your self to others to see how
good you really can be.

This is the map of a original player versus player battle Warsong Gulch. The Alliance
(blue) against the horde (red) face off trying to capture each other’s flags
and avoid dying to each other in the middle of the zone. There is much more to
PvP than fighting and killing each other, there is the element of strategy.
Playing against regular people who just sit there and die can be ok at first
but after a while it gets boring. When regular PvP gets boring there is an
option to step up your playing and fight against people who are ranked worldwide
for their abilities. This can be done by fighting in 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 arena
battles or through rated battlegrounds. The hardest of those 4 options is the
3v3 combat.
In arenas certain abilities are not allowed because they are considered to be too
strong and unfair for other classes.

Players who accelerate in Arenas and rated battlegrounds are allotted
special looking gear which in some cases is even stronger than the regular
pieces that can be obtained. I personally believe that Rated battlegrounds are
the hardest thing to do in WoW. This is because you have to gather up 10-40
players and be able to lead them to victory without losing control. It is
almost like being a boss you have to give every individual a job for which if
they don't' fulfill could ruin your team and cause a loss. Being ranked worldwide
is a personal achievement yes and it is glorifying but it is not the end of the
world if you do not achieve a world rank. Casual or Hardcore PvP is the way to
go in World of Warcraft, because it is really the only true challenge in the
game. There is nothing like fighting a single or group of people who are either
equally as good as or even better than you and knowing you always have room for
improvement. Everyone no matter their play style should at least try Player
versus Player games for it is truly they best experiences of World of Warcraft.
