It’s rough because it’s still an RPG, so naturally there exists gear progression.
PvP crafted greens or honor gear, then bloody token gear, then full conquest gear/tier.
There basically is equal gear in PvP, but only at the top level when everyone is already decked out.
Yes, people in greens are generally gonna get rolled by those in epics, because you’re supposed to grind to get the epics, and that’s when the ‘real’ PvP begins.
It’s the same deal as PvE, starting out in the weak gear and progressing your way the the top.
The main complaint was being forced into certain stats that weren’t good for the class/spec. Some got the worse stats for their spec which made them awful to play. Let people pick the item with the stats they want, and it’ll be perfectly fine.
It’s actually kind of selfish of Blizz to assume that I want to do unenjoyable activities to play a very interesting part of the game (PVP) fairly.
PvE is a different story because you can change difficulties in dungeons and stuff, but imagine any other game, like CoD, where power differences existed. Players don’t like it.
Takes 20min to get 4 pieces of 636 pvp gear on a lvl 70 toon (not 80). Then you do wq as you level up which rewards 623 gear. The game is insanely accessible for gear and you can have a full set without ever engaging in queueable forms of PvP.
You’re creating this glass ceiling for yourself on the concept of BIS gear for PVP.
You just need to have the honor gear and you’d be fine. I used my last seasons gear on my alts and did alright. I’m not the only one who did that. Most of us do.
On top of that, you need just around 4-7 epic bgs to fully gear with honor for the first toon, and for the rest, you can just transfer your honor to your alts.
I’m willing to bet that there’s some OP ability that’s tied to a profession. There’s always some way to get an advantage through grinding and knowledge.
You either gotta accept that someone’s grinded harder, or get on the hamster wheel yourself.
SL and DF were bad. I miss 8.3 BFA. Heart of Azeroth and corruption was insanely fun. BFA was the last time PvP was really good. Hopefully TWW recovers from SL/DF and gets back to the old ways.
I have reached the bloody token and conquest cap on two toons. I have only enchanted one toon because enchants are crazy expensive.
You can crow about gear disparity and rally for equalized gear in pvp all you want. But if you’re going to play the game you also have to work within WoW’s system, and that system has never been easier than it is right now.
