Gear > Skill

They still get more likes and views than anything you’ll ever post on these forums, but it’s okay keep crying, I enjoy the tears of elitists and white knights.

So, gear matters more than skill… but the Mythic raiders are stuck all in 1200?

The fact that this post got more than five likes is a strong argument for Blizzard ignoring the community at large.

Ya I don’t disagree it’s rough when there’s gear gaps I’m just saying there’s no point in being emotional because we pmuch have to take everything into our own hands

I mean low end rating isn’t as inflated right now even though high end is at certain points so it’s quite possible that’s not actually that bad

It’s not that anything is different with MMR it’s just that it’s early in a season

Ehh I mean I always lfg my alts to learn them, but I have a way different mindset

It’s obviously annoying right now if you fight some mythic raider but they’re probably super bad too, mostly my only point

I feel like that’s not every game though idk

I do think at least there’s options to still do pvp like rbgs for gear though they’re probably way easier to get baseline rating at too just because it’s the best way to also farm honor etc

I just think if you’re losing at 1200 it doesn’t make sense to only blame the game itself is what other people were saying, at that rating smaller skill improvements can end up making a far bigger difference than skill because if people with the best gear are stuck at 1200 they are still just being held back by the fact that they’re not very good at pvp

I’m being 100% baited yeah?

Yeah they should ignore specific people in the community and you should be in that group of people because you didn’t even comprehend the point of the post.

It’s not about mythic raiders being stuck, it’s about the entire structure of gearing being incredibly backwards and counterproductive for a lot of people.

But I wouldn’t expect much critical thinking skills from a pally main in the first place. :rofl:

I feel like your mindset is something like “heres the script for literally every comp in this game, i do it so mindlessly that i dont notice how big of an advantage i have”

and to be fair to myself i havent been losing at 1200 but i have been bouncing between 1450 and 1550 for like a week. one shot simulator 2021

It’s not at all like that

I don’t actually know everything, even still for the comps that I’ve always played on my hunter I have plenty to learn because things change

I just go into every game trying to think of something I could do better really and if I’m playing an alt I just accept that I’m awful and have to learn a ton

But usually I just try to do different things idk I feel it’s a lot easier to improve if I just detach myself

welp im officially down to 1400 so i better detach soon or im gonna end up putting this monitor through the drywall

:rofl:

These white knights and Blizzard simps are so hilarious, the only thing they’re detached from is the rest of the WoW population.

I mean just for improving at anything it’s just easier if you don’t focus on rating or anything other than just your own improvement and rating comes naturally

You titled the post “Gear > skill” and then immediately talk about how low ratings are infested with geared PVE players, who are obviously not climbing very high nor quickly despite their gear.

If you’re trying to make a different point, maybe you should make it halfway coherent.

It’s not about mythic raiders being stuck, it’s about the entire structure of gearing being incredibly backwards and counterproductive for a lot of people.

You mean where having good gear gives you an advantage, but consequently it’s harder to acquire better gear unless you already have it? The way gearing has almost always worked for both PVE and PVP?

The only solution is to have gear not matter in PVP, a la templates, which everyone complained about the entirety of Legion.

But I wouldn’t expect much critical thinking skills from a pally main in the first place.

I didn’t expect any from you, and so far, you’ve lived up to my expectations.

I’m sorry that your IQ is only half way up to room temperature because the rest of the people who liked it, agreed with it and had an entire discussion about it understood the point well which again you misunderstood a second time.

It’s not about them not being to climb out, it’s the fact this plague on the PvP ladder even exists in the first place due to loot nerfs in PvE.

Gear should NOT be locked behind rating. You already get exclusive mounts, titles, and illusions as a high rated player and everyone else could always earn gear regardless of rating before so it made everyone at least feel like it was a fair fight vs. not knowing if the gear helped him one shot you or the horrible PvP balancing did.

Again you misunderstood the OP twice and made no actual arguments either times you posted, at this point you’re only proving right the meme that pally mains lack all critical thinking skills.

Oh, wow! A bunch of people on the World of Warcraft PVP forums ‘liked’ your post! You must be a VERY special young man. I’m sure your mom is proud of you!

If they’re already Mythic geared with 40k health, what gear are they getting from low-MMR arenas?

Really showing off your “critical thinking” skills, lol.

You already get exclusive mounts, titles, and illusions as a high rated player and everyone else could always earn gear regardless of rating before so it made everyone at least feel like it was a fair fight vs. not knowing if the gear helped him one shot you or the horrible PvP balancing did.

And Mythic raids also reward mounts, titles, etc. The fact remains that if they rewarded no more powerful gear than LFR, participation would drop sharply.

The best PVP gear has almost always been locked behind rating. Even if it wasn’t, less-geared players would still have to suffer an uphill battle until they grinded enough conquest.

Blizzard tried decoupling gear from rated PVP with templates, and tried lessening the difference with scaling, but neither of these solutions were popular. WoW is a carrot-on-a-stick game, and for a lot of people, better gear is the best carrot.

Flagged his post as trolling… Flagging is not a dislike button lul, this is why you should only be able to flag once on an account (can’t switch characters and spam flags) and falsely flagging without any evidence will result in the removal of the ability to flag.

I means my opinion is right and yours wrong.

I don’t know what it feels like to be irrelevant, but your response gives me a good idea.

Why do you think ANYONE is in arena? To get the 226 gear at 2.1k, the PvE players need it more than ever because their loot got nerfed.

Everyone would rather have that than this system. Face it, you’re in the minority defending a system that’s slowly killing the game that you try so hard to protect.

This is why no one has supported or defended anything you said, you’re on a very lonely island full of white knights and elitists.
