Subject of Analysis

Today we will discuss, moving from pve to pvp!

World of Warcraft is primarily a PvE game.  When launched, battlegrounds and arenas did not exist.  Players created PvP in the open world (the famous South Shore / Tauren Mill battles).  Later, Blizzard added BGs and Arenas.

So, how does one move from doing PvE to PvP?  Well, we are going to talk with Thyst to see how she did this.

Strategies

• Random BGs
• Skirmishes
• Make friends
• Find a PVP guild
• Watch youtube channels for people who play the same class
• Watch Twitch channels
• Don’t watch tournaments - top ranked play is not the same
• Cynwise - https://cynwise.wordpress.com/
• Pay-wall sites (skill-capped) - they do have some free content sometimes
