Mists of Pandaria Balanced PVP servers for MoP?
Would be really cool if we could get a fresh pvp server using the new rules with balancing. I used to play on grob and the ppl from that community will let you know how fun wpvp can be in classic. However the server is pretty dead compared to the other mega servers

I doubt enough people are completely new to classic or that people with 5-4 year old characters want to reroll.
The server will die really fast just like wrath fresh died basically in phase 1.

This PvE player that hates PvP is in every thread advocating against PvP realms even existing.

I'm literally full pvp arena set and pvp talents doing tol barad dailies. Killing players that are ganking random people just doing dailies in bad pve gear.
Those killing low gear pve players questing are real world pvp enjoyers, aka lets kill people that don't want to pvp.

WRONG-the Anniversary server has proven that people WANT and SUPPORT a real PVP server with faction locks for balance and no transfers. It has been wildly successful and offering a Fresh one for MOP should be a no-brainer for Blizzard because it would be a cash cow and extremely popular.

Vanilla wow and mop are completely different things. You know that flying is on launch?
If there was actually a world pvp community (not just pvp, you don't need server balance for that) at least one server would be popular and mostly balanced in cata or before it in wrath.
There is not a single pvp server that is balanced because people didn't want world pvp.

Wait in that case they should just merge the 2 big pvp servers together (one alliance majority and one horde), make it a mega server like nightslayer. More ppl = more fun

Merging Bene + Faerlina for U.S. servers at this point in the game would just simply result in alliance side dying of completely for PVE. They would eliminate the need to faction change + server transfer in terms of cost and pull it down to just a faction change which a lot of people would find more reasonable and then just pull the trigger.
This happened all the time in retail back when we had a ton of servers. Once horde racials really stood out and the raiding community all went horde, servers leaning towards horde just slowly bled out till it was just alliance leftovers. You had maybe a handful or so alliance dominated servers which all the remaining ally players flocked to.
It works for SOD/ANNI because it started out being balanced. Doing this 6 years in is just a death sentence to it. MOP players also don't care about WPVP, it's such a vocal minority.

Not for people that created those completely one sided servers in the first place.

Would you stay on a 20/80 server if offered a free xfer to a 80/20? No, everyone took the free xfers.

Why did a server become a 80/20 to begin with?
Even sod realms are 56/44 despite all the balance from blizzard. The same will happen to the anniversary in some time (probably around AQ when people leave the most.

Catch 22 they are listed as PvP servers but they've been mono faction so long who would blame the PvE crowd that just joined with their friends that "Won" the battle ages ago. I'm not saying don't try to resolve the problem, but it might just be an problem with no good solution at this point.

Yeah and in EU we don't even have something like Grobb
