World of Warcraft at Ten Ton Hammer

Few MMOs have a PvP system that is as popular as World of Warcraft’s Arena. With their official buy-in tournament, rated tournament seasons, and generally popularity, nothing in the MMO world can really compare with the amount of WoW players enjoy. But why are players really drawn to the system? What is there to gain from the PvP Arena? These are the questions Cody “Micajah” Bye tries to answer in his second In the Trenches commentary.

The competitive spirit in these battles is obvious. Players want to prove that they’ve created the best build for Arena PvP and no one, not even the guy with the immense flaming sword, can prove otherwise. If you’re not prepared to cycle through your opponents faster than you can think, you’d better hang up your boots because you’re going to get punched in the nose so hard you’ll have snot bubbles coming out your butthole.
