Anyone who frequents official forums on any gaming site know that they can be places of great angst and rancor between players and developers as well as player to player. This past week, blogger "Wolfshead" found a terrific WoW post on the official forums. The post deals with the symbiotic, love-hate relationship between "hardcore" and "casual" gamers in World of Warcraft. He takes some time to expound on the post and laments the PvP system as it now stands:

I believe the major problem today with WoW is that PVP has become reduced to a transactional system with so-called "honor" as it's currency. PVP in a virtual world should be about being emotionally invested in your town, your race, your faction. Give us reasons to care about defending the Horde or the Alliance. Instead, PVP is emotionless and very mercenary in it's approach. It's all about the "me", instead of the "we". And that's why it fails for me on every level. Clearly, PVP in WoW was an after thought that was ineptly attached to a PVE centric game.

The article is VERY good and worth reading no matter which side of the issue you land on. Do yourself a favor and take the time and then comment on our forums.
