It's the weirdest goddamned thing

I'm Erik, and I have a confession to make.

I like The Old Republic's PVP setup.

Now, for a little background. Since I picked up the MMO monkey on my back I've been adamant how much I hated PVP. Every time I'd try it I'd get frustrated, discouraged, pissed-off. Avoid it like the plage, get pissed off when PVP starts fucking up the PVE game, nerdrage when holiday achievements demand that I PVP.

But now, here comes TOR. Things are _different_. No dying in a global cooldown or two. PVP that's ostensibly goals-based (although, for fuck's sake, people, try PLAYING Huttball instead of turning it into a Grand Melee in the middle of the field). Voidstar makes me cheer when it pops up. Even Alderaan, which is take-and-hold tower defense, is fun and entertaining. I PVP on my heals-based sorcerer and don't feel like I'm turned into Captain Useless Healbitch. PVPing on my DPS-spec sorc is even MORE fun.

Must be just how WoW is set up re: PVP that sucks all the fun out of things. And RIFT. And Conan. And City of Heroes.

It's so weird.
