Fact is you can level as a healing spec in bgs, not so much in the quest grind. And thats why people are reluctant to level up, the quest grind. Need to level up through battlegrounds and pvp. Maybe give everyone dual spec, fuck it.

Here's the risk: PEOPLE AFKING TO LEVEL IN BGS. Makes the whole thing worse. You need a vote to kick or something... but then poor new guy leveling up is outcast and gtfo'd. Or we need a healer, kick this dps... etc etc.

You may also say to yourself, well then no one will do the quests anymore! Blizzard's marvelous engine! Not true, many people hate and avoid pve. I have several paladins and others in my guild who ONLY PVE.

Then you say to yourself, hey its gonna be a zerg of retadins and dks right? Well.... there remains ONE TRUE ANSWER.

Make a test realm where all this is possible. Farm the balls out of some data and sniff out 'sploits in the system. Meanwhile, look for alternatives to add pvp to the WORLD OUT THERE. Hell, use all that awesome phasing technology to "instance out" pvpers and nonpvpers or make it a toggle while in the city. "I wish to battle the alliance" flagged for 2 hours. Make raids on city leaders a real deal.

Ulduar is great and all, I'm really enjoying watching the scrubs struggle and the different raid comps and strats we're sharing cross guild. I'm enjoying trading crafts and charging runed orbs for them if we cant make a crafting agreement. What I'm not enjoying is. THE. SAME. OLD. SHIT.

I'm not saying add some insane zone control warhammer/shit that players will exploit and cause unending developer hell. I'm just saying some old world pvp zone objectives for tokens for armor per level range. When I played WC3 the game wasn't all about farming creeps, I picked WoW up hoping for some sick battle (what did I know) and I can create that when I want to. I can start that when I want to but its getting stale. Spin us some lore, I remember in the WC2 manual a picture of an orc holding a severed human head. What happened!? Do they in fact realize if they bought up the piddly price (to them) the marketing ad on MMO-Champion and WoWhead.com "COME EXPERIENCE THE REVITALIZED WAR BETWEEN HORDE AND ALLIANCE PATCH 3.x.x". That shit would turn some heads. Whatta you think?

(besides TLDR)
