From a player who wasn't around in WoD, what was PvP gearing like and why are some so fond of it?

The difference between WoD Honor and conquest gear was like 10 Ilvl, which was around a 10% difference in healing/dmg output. Right now the difference between a fully honor geared player and a fully duelist geared player is 26 Ilvls; this leaves 0 wiggle room for winning the game.

In WoD if you wanted to pvp all you needed to do was hit lvl 100, spam Ashran for about a day and get full honor gear. Then just enchant your gear and boom, you’re playing a more than viable character. This system was miles more alt friendly than any of the Shadowlands, but the biggest issue with it is the gearing.

Players - “We want one honor set and one conquest set, no upgrades please.”

Blizzard - “Hmm we hear you…” Proceeds to add another 4 ranks of gear for no reason.

26 Ilvls behind a fully geared player? Seems like a Gitgud issue.
