Assuming everyone will be a rank 13/14

4-8 people per server or w/e.
If those few people live in those BG’s long enough to earn a slight advantage for a short window, good for them. High five.

BWL isn’t going to be easier because a couple people on your server have slightly better weapons. It’s going to be easy because it’ll be easy regardless as soon as it is released when people break out the consumables.
Also boohoo that PVP gear might for once be worth (for a very brief period) the effort it takes to get.
Not quite, in TBC early on the PvP weapons were better for certain classes. But I agree - it is very risky to have PvP gear available early, though I don’t think it’s going to be as easy as you think to get it that early. It’s unlikely that Blizzard wouldn’t make an emergency hotfix if they notice people accumulating honour faster than they should, which leads to earlier pieces.
Plus we don’t know the timeline of the PvP content drops, but it won’t even launch with the PvP system.
So now all you have to do is PvP, and then raid Naxx in your PvP gear when that finally comes out. MC, BWL, AQ, whatever, don’t even have to do them once.
LOL at all the people thinking that more than one or two people in an entire raid guild will even have epic PvP gear and rank 14.

Pvp should give better reqards as it is considerably more difficult than fighting raid bosses that do the same exact thing every fight. Ive done pvp to hwl and pve to c’thun in vanilla,if anything is broken and always has been its that the premades can toll against the pugs, if youre tge premade its easier yeah,but on an even battlegroun with completely random teams and foes you tend to hafta dral eith losing a whole lot more than wiping and it never gets easier unless you"re rolling pugs,raiding gets to be a mindless farm by about your 4th kill per boss
Right? Carebear tears are absolutely delicious, tbh. This game has a history of kicking PvP players in the nuts with repeatedly (with regards to gearing). Forgive us if we don’t feel bad for you.

That’s 1.12 for you. Had you gone into progression raiding with PvP gear in Vanilla, you would have been OOM.
What is it with these forums and necroing threads from HALF A YEAR AGO
Because PvP exists? You like being completely outclassed by someone with gear that shouldn’t even be obtainable in an “authentic” vanilla experience?
You can “should” all you want but that’s not how it ever was in WoW so…
BWL gear is far easier to get than PvP gear.
Thread is stupid.

This is kind of funny given that its the exact inverse of what pvp players complained about (and continue to complain about) for many expansions.
gah necro.

It’s even funnier. PvP players at least complained about losing in PvP to PvE gear. This guy is complaining about PvP gear being better in PvP than his PvE gear. (oh the humanity!)

Was hoping to see the #nochange brigade actually in here fighting against this, considering it changes far more than a lot of the QOL improvements they swarm over in a frenzy.
Kinda disappointed to see that isn’t the case.
In regards to the OP, the wow community will find anything it can to complain about.
I assume we’re talking about R14 gear, which is silly. Something like 0.1% of players will have R14 gear. You’re gonna get rolled by 1 in 1,000 people until AQ. Cry me a river.

I kinda agree that pvp gear is exceedingly over powered till Naxx… that said im not sure its worth changing.
Are you really worried about progression raiding in classic?
In 1.12, everything existed, which means that #nochanges was violated the instant it was decided to have tiered releases.
Besides, people are already whining about having to grind for BiS gear, or having to engage in loot drama. Isn’t this kind of a solution?
