WoW’s new pirate battle royale ignites a baffling flame war between PvP and PvE players, meanwhile Blizzard’s ramping up the rewards to make the grind a touch kinder-

World of Warcraft’s funky, limited-time event, Plunderstorm, is just fine by my making. I’ve played a handful of rounds, and experienced a slightly-clunky romp where you kill some enemies and messily try to land some skillshots Guild Wars 2 style in an MMO not really built for it.
