I will say that I used to be nervous about PvP, but since playing Starcraft that is completely gone. I just attack every red name now... it's fun.

For WoD I want to find a casual guild, that raids once a week. Anyone know where I can find that? I don't want to ask on the bnet forums, as the people there are usually people I don't want to play with

I would avoid the official forums like the plague. As awful as Trade Chat is, realm forums are worse. Try the in-game guild finder, if that's still a thing. Your other option (and IMO the best) would be to reroll on an RP server. They actually still have mature and respectable communities and you could very easily find a guild on one (at least the US RP servers).

It was pretty much the same for PvP, too. I wasn't really in a guild during vanilla or the beginning of TBC; I pretty much PvPed all the time, so I had every other decent PvPer on the server on my friends list, plus most of the ones from the other faction on an alt account. We all used to sit in Teamspeak and give each other advice on where groups of players were to gank and whatnot.

This still exists for PvP in both US and EU, since all of the tournament guys and multi-R1's who still play are such a small community that everyone has known each other for years. Contrary to popular opinion, which conflates game balance with skill-cap, it takes a long ass time to reach a high level in 3v3 arena (there are obvious exceptions -- seasons where balance was so lopsided that any random gladiator could have won an MLG playing with decent players...not taking shots at anyone in particular, just saying...). Therefore, the amount of new blood in the scene is also pretty non-existent, since there is no real incentive to grind out thousands of arena games if there is no money (reputable tournaments) behind it.

Edit: seems like Holinka is trying to 'revitalize' PvP for WoD...but as long as the viewer client remains an unintelligible mess, there is no hope for PvP as an eSport.

You know, I wouldn't have a problem with it not being an e-sport if it were just more fun. CC is worse nowadays than it ever has been, and it just comes down to layering CC all day every day. Used to be each class had like 1-2 ccs (except rogues, who had billions all on 2 DRs) and they were often on DRs with each other, now with talents, everyone's got tons. Hopefully WoD will help out with that, I know they were talking about nerfing CC, but I don't recall exactly what they were planning to do.

All that and my favorite class for PvP (Warlock) was nerfed out of competitiveness back in Wrath and I'm still bitter about it.

I still get mini panic attacks whenever I get feared in arena and I start running into a wall and along the edges...

Too many times have I fallen beneath the world or won an arena match that way. One game lasted 2hours one time cause of that and it became a 1v1 with 2 healers.

Warlock teams were all the rage in TBC because fear had a 110% chance to make you fall through the world and die in nagrand arena. Lost so many matches to that crap.
