PvPer listen up. Big changes are coming in 2.4 and many of them are steps in the right direction.

I'm going to read up and digest them, then post my commentary here. You should do the same.
New Changes -
Ranked 8v8 will be removed.
Three new arena maps will be added for death match, last man standing type 4v4 arena matches. Winners will be determined by the best 2/3.
There will be ranked and normal modes for arenas.
There are two modes for arenas, solo and group (you form a group in a similar fashion as you would for normal wzs now).
Matching for groups will happen now based on ranking and role. No more 4 healers in top end PvP gear v. 4 tanks with no gear.
You can no longer spend skill points in warzones which will basically eliminate WZ respec.
Removal of the Free to Play warzone limitations.
A new Huttball map!
2.4 planned for deployment on the PTS 8/16

Arena sounds interesting. It's good they are fixing ranked warzones to 4v4 that can be queued solo. That's why we never did ranked - it was hard enough to find 8 people to do raids, nevertheless 8 to do ranked. And then even if you did have 8, there's no guarantee that anyone else is queuing.

Hooray! More fucking Huttball! /sarcasm
Arenas sound interesting, though. /serious
Also...
Removing the F2P restriction for entering the Warzones
Can't believe you didn't bulletpoint this, Mharz. It's kind of a big deal.

I'm still subbed as well but I know there are people who have unsubbed recently, including people who used to do WZ PVP. Those people will soon be able to continue PVPing.
