Encourage vs Force: PVE to PVP / Rated to Unrated

[Graendoll-emerald-dream]

Seems like the only reasonable benefit I could discern from removing conquest from unrated play entirely, was to encourage rated play.

We just left an expansion where PVE was was being ‘encouraged’ for PVP gearing. How did the PVP community as a whole enjoy that?

Now that rated players have a reasonable PVP only gear avenue, I am seeing the exact same arguments previously used by the PVE players now being used by rated players. How soon we forget.

Did you really need to start a new thread on the exact same topic as the thread you already created that’s still on the front page?

I felt I did.

For people who want to see fewer casuals in the game, or think it would be a good thing to lock casuals into gear that will lock them out of groups of any sort, this is being seen as a “benefit”.
