All I can say is if I have to pvp, my friends list is going to dry up really fast as I suck at pvp in every game I have ever played. I am smart enough to win against AI (barely).Real players will be teabagging me on a regular basis.
But, WoW did it, and they did it in WotLK, which is the xpac which everyone agrees is when WoW began to really become good.
So of course Cryptic has to do it- it's a good idea, and it'll be good, and you're all just jelly.
Wow what... I played WoW since vanilla, and in terms of PVE Vanilla/Burning Crusade were the pinnacle. Wotlk was fun don't get me wrong but that is the expansion where Blizzard said "Wait a second... casual players are finding Hard Mode raiding HARD!! We better nerf everything to existence and make it so that the hardcore raiders are now equally as geared to casual scrubs"
So no... no one agrees that WotLK was when WoW became good, near on the opposite.
By the way, for those not liking the combination of pvp & pve content, Rhix daily quests include these:
"Daily Gauntlgrym PVE" - "Daily Gauntlgrym PVP" so I suppose the queue system will be re-arranged after each stage for those that leave after a specific stage, or something like that.

Up, since it's available on the preview server.
Had the pleasure to do phase 2 when I logged in to have a look at the new profession.
It was already almost done (21min out of 30) and my faction won.
When it unlocked the 2 dungeons I could access only the t1 one. For the t2 you need to take part in the 2 phases.
About the dungeon... It's even more easy than the Cloaktower. It took 21min with a group of 3 dc, 1gwf & 1 gf.
Only one boss, an epic item + 1 chest with 4 Gauntl-coins.
This concept isn't new, nor will it be successful. DAOC had this eact mechanic and it was iffy at best, taking days for enough people to finally que to retake the pve areas and route the current faction, some factions never were able to clear and NEVER had access to the content.
Now cryptic is trying to do the same thing in a full que instance and it will fall flat on its face.
There is no worse feeling in the world than the moment during an argument you realize you are wrong.
