Alterac valley ended up being both sides charging the end caps of the other to see who could kill the final boss first. Battlegrounds relied entirely on gear and were dumb otherwise.

Debatable depending on class. Other then healing/tanking gear, the gear that could be obtained from PvP was definitly competitive with most PvE gear (save the last tier at the time).
And battleground being based entirely on gear, exactly my problem with the game.

I havent played WoW in about 2 years and havent heard the rock paper scissors theory in probably 3 which is why it didnt come to mind and thats actually true lol. I think world of roguecraft said it best...

Warriors are rock.
Rogues are scissor.
Hunters, Paladins, Priests, Druids, Mages, Shamans are paper.
And Warlocks are Mushrooms.
Paper beats rock.
Scissors beat paper, but scissors ALSO happen to beat rock,
until rock hits 60 at which point rock becomes and unstoppable killing machine.
Then he also beats paper, and would beat scissors, but he can't find scissors, because scissors are invisible.
So in the end scissors beat paper and avoid rock.
And that is called balance.

It hasnt actually been that there seems like theres a lot of PvE content being added or there in the first place. Like i said in my last post, its just my own developed neurotic hatred for PvE lol. Just thinking of a "tanking" class makes me wanna stab someone in the face .
