10.0 means no more crying about how your enemy had a better chance then you cause of gear.
Next expansion, it wont matter if you are 1400 or 2400. Pvp gear will all be the same. Will be all skilled based.

can we still complain about FOTM?

No, you’ll still have people in honor gear getting bodied by people with conquest gear, just like back in mop-wod.
Yeah, that’ll never go away.

unless classes are egregiously unbalanced
which is definitely a distinct possibility since blizzard is notorious for letting their newest classes get away with being gods

yuup. it’s gonna be interesting for sure. no more complaining about gear since it’s wod style gearing. no complaining about boosting unless it’s glad boosting probably since gear is all the same. It’ll be interesting for sure what the excuses are going to be for low rating next xpac no doubt. 
I like gear upgrades they just needed to somehow stop guys with 20k health difference coming across each other. Do RBG’s and it’s 10 Pee Wee Herman’s vs 10 Mike Tyson’s and the Pee Wee’s are getting utterly smashed braindead and everyones screaming and heads are flying everywhere.
At 900 MMR.
That’s what happens when you make getting 3/3 vault slots super cringe

I think RBG is 2 wins for almost 2/3? Arena does take a long while for even 1/3 it seems. Higher conquest cap saved up is great except it takes 27 years to earn all of it.
FOTM rerolling will be even worse after equalization.

Im not a big fan gear equalization because it takes away that mmorpg progression feel. To me the problem was never gear disparity in Shadowlands, the problem was the way it was given. Weekly Vault should be giving 1 piece that is 1 above the current rating (after getting full set of your current rating), like a slow drip, so for example if you’re stuck at challenger, you will eventually be in full Rival I (As a challenger rating). If you can’t reach Rival I with full gear Rival I, then it’s not a gear issue.
Gear is something nice to look forward to. Blizzard just implemented the progression terribly with unlocking a full tier upgrade set at certain rating points. It was always so weird that way. Small upgrades along the way would have been way better and more moralizing.
If the whole time we were queuing all season long, arena giving out conduit upgrades, getting small piece upgrades, etc, just for queueing and trying to get better, it would have made the whole arena experience 100x better.

What excuse will you be using then?

With no gear issues to complain about we can then focus all our efforts on complaining about the classes themselves! Thats a way better use of our forum time right?..right?

Ahh like the old days.
It won’t be as good as you all think.
pvpers with raider friends will still farm for mythic gear to get a competitive advantage.
In the various interviews they stated this wont be the case. There will be a similar disconnect between pvp and pve gear as there is now. Of course there will always be extreme examples but those people are the 1%

You will still have your breathtaking mmorpg progression feel by increasing its pve ilvl.
