Gear tied to a players rating strawpoll

False there are tons of yolo rbgs you can get into within seconds below 1800, and if you are a decent player you can easily get our of 1600ratinf brackets. 2s is even easier. Stop making excuses

? Not sure how I’m defending streamers because most of them are toxic but literally most all enjoy playing skillful games and gaining rating. I have no idea when I’ve seen a streamer or 3k player in a casual bg in their main room. Probably actually never.

There’s 1 right now. And it’s only looking for tank and healer.

Hey you! If you have the Serpentstalkers Trickery legendary do you not have to choose serpent sting as a talent?

That is correct. Though I don’t use Serpent’s for PvP. I use the Rapid Fire one.

I feel like i’ve killed that boss a million times and he never drops the freaking thing. Thanks!

It takes more than a few seconds to get in a good RBG group, you can get into losing RBG’s all day long. I’m in A RBG right now that my son made on my alt and I still hate it got a lot of bull crap you got to put up with. Last night we went 5-3 and that was two and a half hour of not having fun for me.

Being forced into doing RBG’s every week will not be fun for me, there are no excuses in that It’s just something I do not enjoy. If you like and enjoy RBG’s that’s good for you, not everybody doses.

The best part about playing WoW to me is random BG’s It’s something that I love, and I enjoy.

Just a note, the person you’re quoting wasn’t serious but some people do seem to feel that way.

That’s what I’m saying, everybody’s got things to deal with on a daily basis in real life. When you tied gear to a player’s rating on a week-to-week basis, it puts a strain on the real life stuff that he or she may have going on.

My job right now allows to spend a lot of time to play wow, But in a few weeks it’s going to pick up, and I’ll be lucky to play 2 hours a night. RBG will be the last thing I will want to do.

180 Votes thanks you all, maybe one day Blizzard realizes If they get feedback from the PvP community about the PvP side this game could be so much better

It’s hard to listen to feedback as it can be quite split a lot of the time (yes your poll isn’t really but still).

I feel like they just need some actual pvpers on an actual PvP dev team that have some semblance of power over PvP. Unfortunately that does not exist in anyway shape or form. Like any high quality pvper says rating locked gear, huge gear disparities or alt unfriendliness is dumb.

I agree with you, but getting feedback from your PvP community should be of the utmost importance. Like you said, alts are going to be a thing of the past we already have put up with the PvE crap, but now they’re forcing you to do nothing but rated battlegrounds for PvP gear.

Somebody in our discord said something, It kind of makes sense. Maybe they’re just tired of fooling with PvP, there’s always two or three classes that are way overpowered. It should be a simple fix, but they cannot or will not even do that.

I do believe if they don’t show PvP a little more love, you will keep seeing a subscriptions PvP declined.

I saw an amusing reddit comment recently where the poster said something along the lines of:

His plan sounds kind of extreme, but he actually has a point :joy:

With the current progression system being what it is, it’s actually smart to get in “early”.

PvE doesn’t have this problem of “early players get everything, late players and alts get hardstuck”… it simply doesn’t exist.

The difficulty of PvE content stays static, it doesn’t change much. Alts and new or returning players can catch themselves back up in a reasonable amount of time.

It’s the exact opposite with PvP, where the difficulty of the content increases exponentially over time.

Variety Gear is Part MMORPG and is Good for me
But if it Gonna Be All the same gear PVP will be Perfect For Competitive.

The Issue is Carried 1400 rating Carried By 2000 Rat Gear This is The Main Problem
What if 1400 Carried with 2000 Rating Player But the 2000 Rating Skilled player gear Squised to 1600 Rating Gear. That makes feel Good for Players. Feels like Players Facing Something Possible Not Facing Challenge that impossible to overcome…

Batleground map loss from stone still lot things to fix… Need more staff at pvp content i think. But Blizz did sucsess from pve everyone looks happy with pve.

Need Someone who really care bout casual pve from blizz dev…

Eh I still think it’s kinda hard. People are very split on stuff. Hard to get feedback with that. I would agree they should engage a little more frequently than once a season though. I do think those people are gone though. Cuts made for the short term profits without thinking about the long-term customer satisfaction.

Just give us an actual dev team that plays the game. I think that’s too many people in charge that just look at metrics without ever actually playing the game.

Absolutely. Holinkas tweets back in mop/wod showed that PvP was as popular as anything else. Despite what GD pvers like to think, a lot of people used to play this game for PvP.

Sadly not me anymore. I get my competitive fix from actual competitive games :pensive:

cool !!! i love it

I have put up quite a few strawpoll and believe it or not they are one-sided most of the time. One of the biggest strawpoll I did was trying to get PvP vendors back and another one that I did was for blacklist.

I like to put up strawpoll and get feedback, I like to see what the PvP community is thinking. See if they’re thinking the way I’m thinking, or am I on the island by myself.

Blizzard is in the mindset of we know what’s best and in the meantime, they are letting money slip out the back door.

Why is my characters level and guild not updating… beeen a damn year

they aren’t letting money slip out buddy

they decided pure pvp players weren’t worth very much on the metric ‘average revenue per player’ becaue they got everything they want from pvp and barely touched anything else (especially in the days where BIS pvp gear was obtainable by all)

thus the absolutely colossal amount of pve required of an optimal pvp player these days

it chases me away from the game but other players that hang with the grinds make up for it, especially in the cash shop

they make more money now with cash shop gold than they did at peak subs
