The problem with world pvp currently in wow is that the factions are comically unbalanced. And that's because of the whole warmode deal, where they made it easy to enable/disable world pvp (instead of having to transfer to a different server), so they had to put in some incentive to get people to do world pvp, in the form of those reward crates that are dropepd randomly in the world. But mmo players being mmo players, over time people just switched to the faction that had more people so that they could get the rewards without the hassle of actually doing the pvp.
In other words, world pvp was ok and the bumbling designers had to try and touch it and they ruined it.
There is no undoing the faction unbalance now, which means that there is no fixing world pvp in wow. Unless they turn it into a free for all where factions don't matter, but they'll never do that.
