PvP Map Blacklist in Mists of Pandaria?
MMO Champion has unearthed a number of new interesting client strings in the latest Mist of Pandaria Beta build:
ERR_PVP_BLACKLIST_CAP - You have already blacklisted the maximum number of maps.
ERR_PVP_MAP_NOT_FOUND - Blacklisted map not set.
This suggests players will be able to blacklist a certain number of PvP maps in Mists of Pandaria. This will most certainly apply to Random Battlegrounds. Whether it’ll apply to Arena is questionable.
In terms of Battlegrounds, both Alterac Valley and Isle of Conquest will be heading straight to my list. These pseudo Battlegrounds are merely PvE features posing as PvP Battlegrounds. The PvV or Player vs. Vehicle Battleground known as Strand of the Ancients would also be an additional member of my blacklist should the cap stretch to three.
This feature applying to Arena is a fantastic idea on paper. In reality, however, it would be ruined by the continued existence of Ring of Valor. A map so despised by the PvP community, its appearance on 95% of all blacklists at a minimum would not be surprising.
While it’d be fantastic to eliminate this map from proceedings, the blacklist feature should not be about players correcting Blizzards own mistakes. Indeed, it’s easier to remove RoV in its entirety, not least to prevent the map deciding the victor in PvP tournaments rather than the players. Blizzard should leave the map in War Games for those who want to experience the abomination, but it should have no place on ladder or in tournaments whether the blacklist applies to arena or not.
How about you? Which Battlegrounds would have the honour of been included on your blacklist? What about for Arena?

Yaspresents Tournament Starts Tomorrow at 19:00 CET.
Stormscale PvP Guild Yaspresents are hosting an online World of Warcraft Tournament over the next three days. Featuring names such as Snutz, Dakkroth, Glyptic, Talbadar, Khuna and, the main man himself, Hydra—the line-up features some of the best WoW players from both the EU and US. With these players and a much more—highly welcomed in my opinion—mixture of comps, this tournament is shaking up to be a brilliant showdown between these great teams.
The tournament will feature eight teams who will be split into two groups of four for the initial stage. While splitting the teams into two groups will prevent us from seeing certain matchups, this stage of the tournament is still round robin so we’ll see a good variety of matchups. This structure also benefits the second, double elimination, stage of the tournament where the top two teams from each group will advance to juke it out for the $4200 prize for first, $2100 for second and $600 for third place.
It will be played on the EU Arena Pass allowing players to min max their characters for each match up. The absence of 4.3 PvE gear is certainly a plus to boot. They’ve also paid close attention to previous tournaments, banning class stacking and saving us the insomnia curing feat of another monstrosity of double Shaman Warlock as seen at the recent Prestige Gaming and GameSense tournamenta while back. The necessity for a healer on each team is also a great step in the right direction. Finally, with Another been a tournament organiser and learning all too well of the perils of a certain map at BlizzCon last year—we should all be cheering at the fact Ring of Valor is banned from the map pool.
The action will kick off tomorrow at 19:00 CET and at the same time Saturday and Sunday. For those worried about missing the action, Hydramist will be posting the stream on our homepage and telling you when the action kick offs via Facebook and Twitter.
