This is literally the worst PVP I've ever seen in an MMO...

I don't normally come to WoW's defense but that's a massive exaggeration. The issue you're describing has appeared in WoW's PVP in the past but that is not the issue currently plaguing it. The key issue with WoD's PVP has been that melee classes basically retained all of their damage and mobility while almost every caster was made into a turret. Which means that right now melee are comically overpowered (rogues, feral druids, etc)

That, and Alliance (meaning: Human and NE) racials were buffed to the point where if you want to play PVP competitively there is literally no point in playing any other race, so basically 90% of the PVP population has gravitated to the Alliance.

Unsubbed late in 5.4, so I can't say I've experienced it firsthand.

Oh lordy, I stand corrected. I had not seen that. And here I was thinking it couldn't possibly get any worse since 6.0.

Wow, that holy paladin damage is appalling.

I gotta say though, this game has by far the best "WoW-style" PvP I've ever played, if only for the fact of gear syncing. Having your face repeated stomped in because you don't have the correct gear is awful. Especially considering in most MMOs, the only way to get said PvP gear is to be a massive parasite on your team and hope to get carried enough.
