Does anybody pay attention to World Defense?
Does anybody pay attention to World Defense? Magister's Terrace was the first new 5-man we had since Burning Crusade came out. By then, many of us who'd been around for the beginning of Burning Crusade had run Shadow Labyrinth until we heard Murmur's voice at every waking moment.
Sunwell Plateau came long after many 25-man guilds had Illidan on farm, and Death and Taxes even cited the wait for Sunwell Plateau as part of the reason they fell apart. Now, most of us have our 70s up to Exalted with the Shattered Sun Offensive, we've run Magister's Terrace until our eyes bled -- although some of us are dedicated to running it more just because that orb and that bird refuse to drop -- and a sense of ennui has set in. We want more. Patch 2.4.3 is giving us a few new items and a quest, but with at least 3 months to go until WoTLK comes out by most estimates, it's very likely that we'll need more. theflamecrow on LJ had an interesting little occurrence: he was in Darkshore when he saw a flash in the World Defense channel that Darkshore was being attacked. The only problem? He's Horde.
Now, most people may think that Horde doesn't have a base in Darkshore that can do under attack, but in fact, they do-- it's the Dancing Troll Village. So apparently some enterprising Alliance had found it and started killing. But here's the bigger question I got from crow's story: does anyone really pay attention to World Defense?
I know I don't. But then again, I play on a PvE server, so odds are that anyone attacking a lowbie level like that is just a level 70 on a rampage. But even on PvP servers, do blaring Defense channels really mean that anyone cares? People will protect their guildies, and of course they'll join the fight if they smell blood (or at least someone they can beat in a fight). But do the Local and World Defense channels really point the way to a good PvP clash the way the developers surely intended? Or do they just mean chat spam, and that there'll be trouble if you try to speak to NPCs in that area?
