If I ever get bored of WoW I need something to fall back on, or if I just wanna try a new game one day.

How's the PvP system? If it's not good do you think it will improve in patches? And is it rewarding? (I pretty much only pvp.)

all i know it takes a shit long time to get prestige 6 gear( like tier 6 - only way to achieve high tiers is to pvp a shit ton)
and it takes about 10 hours a day of farming for 6 days to get one piece of tier 6 gear lol

I really like WFs so far, you can read what they are like on a multitude of websites but i'll describe simply:

black garden = martyrdom, 10v10 one person holds an object and takes mad damage from it, the team with control gains points based on time in control. the object will eventually kill it's bearer, and either be picked up and respawn in the middle very fun, quick (5-10m) warfront
codex = 4 control point domination 15v15, 4 nodes, 1 with high ground and better defendable locations. the top node is called codex and is worth more points per tick (8 vs 6 or something) so if 2:2 control, it's not tied. Makes for interesting strats, based around codex control.
the ctf one = played it once or twice, fairly generic ctf, nothing to complain about though
battle for port scion = really complex so far only played it once, but it seems like a DotA style AoS where there are also capturable "flags" and objectives. however it's much smaller. Potential for SO much fun, right now i'm a but overwhelmed. I think once I get in there with 5 members from my guild it will make a lot more sense.

(I'm playing a pyro mage, loving it)

1wf = 600-800 favour

100k/700 = 142(games) x 10(avg game lenth in minutes) / 60 = roughly 24 hours /played per piece

Cant say I'll be buying anything pre rank 6 lol.

perhaps, I dont think theres much wrong with huge time sinks to get the top tier of pvp gear. It wont be replaced in 6 months like WoW's pvp gear. Just dont know if i can be bothered. On my mage anyway. Mages are pretty shit for pvp really compared to other classes unless you go Dominator and become a cc bitch.

I just wanna try it.. I'm debating on going to buy it, but I need to play it first.

I wish they had a free trial or something.
