Hey @WarcraftDevs@Warcraft,
World PvP doesn't need rated arenas or artificial ladder systems to thrive. It needs strong guilds, communities, and real open-world objectives. With #WoWForever coming up, here are 5 targeted API updates that would immediately reignite world PvP:
Verifiable Killing Blow APIs: We need native, server-verified KB and PvP kill tracking. AddOns like my Contested and lots of others already build zone control, guild rivalries, and RP-PvP quests, but client-side spoofing holds them back without verified data.
Objective-Based Zone Control: Features like Slayer’s Rise are neat, but they don't push guilds out into the world together. Dynamic contested zone control and raid-level WPvP quests would give groups a reason to actually fight over the map. API for this also.
External Web APIs (with Privacy Toggles): Exposing PvP events via web APIs lets communities build regional leaderboards, web hubs, and cross-guild rivalries off the client. A simple opt-out setting keeps data privacy in the player's hands.
Server-Registered AddOn Prefixes: Let devs register and verify AddOn comm prefixes at the server layer. This stops fake payload injections and drops junk traffic at the socket before it hammers client Lua state and wrecks frame rates in 40v40 fights.
API & Event Cleanup: Streamlining frame events, endpoints, and comm channels across the board will keep UI memory light and performance smooth during massive open-world clashes.
Central Server Comms channel for Xfaction, XRealm, XDatacenter. Real API communication for registered Addon Developers.
Give community devs clean, secure hooks, and we'll build the systems that keep world PvP alive.
WoW Forever gave us a Legacy system that pays out for stuff you were doing anyway, and campfires that hand out real buffs. Neither one tells you what's around you.
So I built two free addons for it.
Hated Legacy
• Shows which of the 65 Legacy challenges you can work on in the zone you're standing in
• Lists the ones closest to done across your whole account
• Star a challenge and it sits in a small tracker with the steps you still need
• Shows where every character's Legacy points went, tree by tree
• Account reward track progress and your PvP rank against this week's cap
• It only reads. Buying ranks stays in Blizzard's panel, so it can't touch your build
Hated Campfire
• Lists campfires shared by nearby players with distance, direction, objects and buff count
• Need one buff? Pick it and it jumps to the closest camp that has it
• Share your own camp with everyone nearby, guild and friends, or just your party
• Missing a tent? Post a request and someone can bring one over
• Pins on the world map and minimap, goes quiet in dungeons, BGs and combat
• Nothing it sends ever hits public chat
Both free on CurseForge and Wago. /hlegacy and /hcamp in game.

WoW Forever players built an IRS addon to audit gold buyers. Before Blizzard built a ban button.
Meanwhile Ziqo took 555 free gold and got wiped down to 9 silver. Interest rates in Azeroth are brutal.
It's tax season. 🧾

Blizzard: "WoW Forever will fight dungeon boosting."
Also Blizzard: adds an LFG tab for carries.
That's a no smoking sign over a cigarette machine. And beta testers get 16 Legacy Points for weeks of bug hunting. Sixteen.

The Asmongold haters wrote an addon to mute people having fun in WoW Forever.
We used to get ganked, corpse camped and tea-bagged by level 60 rogues. Now a crowded Stormwind is a crisis?
And the gold buyers with mom's credit card? Stockades. All of you.

If you comment "AI slop" without watching past the first 3 seconds, this one's for you.
You've been listening to "computer slop" since 1982. You're welcome.

Duel night in your raid used to mean 20 people yelling about who's next.
Hated Dueling Club runs the whole tournament: sign-ups, a bracket, a synced countdown, a one-click Duel button and a prize pool.

Lost your target in a big fight again?
Hated Target puts an animated reticle right on them. Green in range, blue or red when they're out of range, and healers pulse so you know who to hit first. Five styles to pick from.
