The amount of time to get gear required to play the game should be IDENTICAL regardless whether you win or lose in rated content. The only difference should be rating. Change terminology from “win” to “complete”.

Why?
Do you get quest complete for not killing that insert name elite?
Strongly disagree. There has to be an incentive to try else people just AFK.

The incentive is rating.
False equivalence. Not winning an arena is still completing an arena.

But the quest is to win the arena isnt it?
And that’s the problem.
Why though?
Why is participation rewarded over winning for you
Also apparently your incentive is gear. Not rating.
Because participation is what drives shorter queue times and gets more people involved. Rewarding winning simply results in an imbalance where those who are already better are given an even further unfair advantage.

This doesnt sound like the incentive is rating anymore.
Sounds like ulterior motives.
They don’t want people queuing and throwing/AFKing.
No.

Thats correct. My incentive to play is get gear rewards. There is a reason I almost never play PVP content anymore: the gear rewards are too frustrating to get.
When I do PVE mythic dailies it is “complete” them, not “beat the timer by X” to get rewards. I don’t want to have to win Arena to complete quests to get gear.
What a 2023 thread.

PvP has the easiest gearing of the endgame pillars.

IF YOU WIN. Which I don’t.
I, for one, welcome our new bot overlords.
You just like to whine about anything.

I remember when there was a weekly quest to participate in 3 bgs.
Players would go into bgs and tell their teammates to AFK/lose so they can quickly complete the quest. They would try to help the other team win. “Just let them win!” was frequently seen in chat.
It was ridiculous.
Blizzard changed the quest to 3 wins in bgs.

Why should someone who loses often play PVP when they are just having their precious few 1-2 hours per day get wasted as they aren’t getting better gear?
Sounds like a "quit being trash " kinda problem.
If you lose you are still rewarded so it doesn’t matter at all. Those people will never climb rating and you eventually will.
It is my right to be trash at low rating. Why should I be punished for being low rated when I pay same sub as you for the content? Gear is content and provides an advantage to players.
