Closest bet is hoping for transmog loosening. I imagine they might start to drop class restrictions on stuff eventually like they did with bmah t3.
Odd thing is too me, the titles from ratings in RBGs are account wide, any toon can where that which to me seems like a more meaningful thing than transmog.
They are not.
They 100% are. I have toons that have never set foot in RBGs that can were any of the titles I have gotten.
Never mind I am on a roll. Going back to my hole in the ground now…

Because you’re 1800 on the class you achieve it on, not 1800 on the classes you don’t.
You just made a post about lack of Battleground content, and now instead of giving yourself something more to do, you want it given to you instead?

1800 elite set are not account wide, getting 1800 on a paladin does not give you 1800 on a warrior, so i don’t see the logic in making rbg transmogs not the same as elite transmogs
Rbg weapons are account wide, if you get 1800 on a paladin you can buy the claymore and use it on a warrior because it is a weapon. Same can be said for current crimson 2400 elite weapons. WoD weapons were different than MoP CMs because weapons can be used by multiple classes, class specific armour cannot
Furthermore, giving everyone who has 1800 in rbgs full transmogs for every set would just remove whatever incentive transmog collectors had left to play their alts through rbgs (i only have paladins, if i reroll to another class i have to do rbgs on them to get mogs). I am 100% never queueing an rbg as a rogue/mage/priest if i can just piggyback off my 15 paladins
Those are seasonal rewards. Not Transmog from the 18 years ago. Elite sets are only available for one season. They aren’t even RBG transmogs because if you have the marshal (maybe it’s grand marshal?) title from vanilla you can also access it on the toon that has it.
Oh, I didn’t realize so many transmog collectors are spamming RBGs for vanilla transmog. I knew this argument would come up but it’s not a good one. If people want it to stay as an achievement based thing per class for RBGs then fine. But don’t make the argument that people queue now for RBGs to get this transmog because very few do.
Most people don’t queue on other classes for the transmog anyway.
I get you thought you had a gotcha moment there, but go read what I linked. The thread is specifically about BG maps.
Honestly a better idea would be to make new versions of the Grand Marshall gear, updated versions and put it at the 1800 achievement for RBGs. I bet that would get more people to do RBGs for those looks. Just silly to me the old vanilla gear is gated behind rating.
Good thing it’s an insanely easily attainable rating and not locked behind actual grand marshal
Insanely easy huh? The numbers says otherwise lol.
It is, rbgs throw mmr at you if you win two games in a row
Anyone can brute force their way to 1800 with enough games played
I really do not believe making rbg transmogs a “one and done” is the way to go
Solo q rbgs might help now that everyone is boycotting LFG. Better tank balance would help or outright making changes so that groups don’t need tanks at all on some maps. Reducing group size from 10 to 6 and map size to make it significantly faster to put groups together would help. Adding new rewards instead of trivializing what rbgs have left. Seasonal hero titles instead of once and done to get the top end more active, maybe some pennant/back thing for 2100 or a faction themed flag of ownership toy at 2400, an “elite” version of the vicious wolf/steed which were the first vicious mounts introduced. Rbgs would be a great place to introduce “elite” remakes of pvp sets that never had elite versions like the tbc and wotlk sets
A lot of things could help rbgs, but i 100% do not support account wide unlock to all rbg sets on all classes for just getting 1800 once
They aren’t even RBG transmogs lol. It’s just vanilla gear gated behind rating. A lazy reward honestly.
What is enough games played? You realize the numbers don’t back up your statement right? How many is enough games?
Again they aren’t even RBG sets, they shouldn’t even be gated behind rating in the first place. Like I stated above, why not make new versions of Grand Marshal gear? Like even just update them like they did with a lot of the t3 sets from TBC?
Good idea. No argument against this.
Most people don’t even know these sets are locked behind 1800 or they even exist I bet. This isn’t some thing that keeps people doing RBGs at all.
These are all great, but people need to start being honest adding more and more rewards gated behind 1800+ doesn’t help that much. They need to start adding more rewards to get people to just do RBGs and add the things you mentioned above along with them. I feel like people just don’t know what % of the player base actually sits belong 1800.

What color will you choose? It matters.
Dunno, I’ll have to look at them.
RBGs seem more active right now than they’ve been in a few seasons. Wasn’t Hero last season like 2200 or something?
(There’s over 300 people who’ve broken 2400 for the season already, seems like pretty good participation)
I don’t, either. I’ve unlocked the sets for a few of my toons, it’s a cool feeling to ride out to Area 52 and collect your prize.
I do understand the woes of farming 1800 in RBGs, though. I honestly like RBGs more than any other content but barely play them because I don’t have the patience to link XP all night while people who can barely break 50% WL at 1800 MMR let you sit apped in LFG hoping some X class reroller will come along, and then want you to hop into Discord and listen to people argue 30% of the time. Lol
RBG participation is good right now, but I definitely think it’s a form of content that would be hyper popular if Blizzard added a tankless, 6v6 solo/duo queue option with 3 or 4 new, smaller maps. That’s how you coerce participation.
