Gotta PvE to PvP....That's dumb!

Vendors in BFA…When are we getting those ? Even Classic had PvP vendors.
Is 9.0 going to have them added back ? BFA beta had them in here…why didn’t you guys put them in ?
Inb4 BUT I HAD TO DO PVP FOR A LEGENDARY CLOAK !!!1111
:roll_eyes:

Trash sub 1200 LFR Hero players only cried about that. And that was a welfare legendary by any metric you guys will use… So shut it.
TL:DR
I’d like PvP gear vendors back. Doing mindless script slaying is not fun to do PvP effectively.

Why do i need to PvE to PvP ?
Why can’t the best gear for PvP come from PvP ?
Inb4 multiple sets of gear crying.
The gear wasn’t that bad to use back and forth.
Resilience gear was great and you could do heroic dungeons with them to get into raids. With the Benthic system out now, you can get gear and hop right on into a Dragonslaying fest unlike any other. I’d like an honor or conquest set equivalent of purchase power from a vendor.
I’m still baffled why i gotta kill dragons to kill players.

Inb4 “hurp durp we haven’t killed dragons in forever”

I’m just tired of doing PvE to do PvP effectively.
The system you guys had with BC all the way to WoD was great. Heck, WoD PvP gear was the best thing about the expansion. I loved that if some Mythic raid geared nub only knew how to do a rotation on me because his icey veins guide said that was optimal for damage output, and I as someone that’s spent extensive time understanding the dynamic environment vs a scripted one, who shouldn’t be completely shut down by people that invest more time killing AI scripts and should be able to destroy the prior.

Pvp is a side bonus on a pve game.

Before I say I agree with you 100% we need to bring back PvP vendors/gear.

Anyone else notice his TLDR version is longer then the actual post?

Bad troll. 1/10
But, I’ll bite anyways.

Yeah, that’s why all blizzcon from Season 2 TBC all the way to…recently Blizzard has sponsored Arena teams with huge prize pools. It’s why PvP’ers on streams pull in more viewership (aside from the anomaly that is Asmongold) versus PvE. You watch Bajheera, Swofty, Cdew and anyone that’s big on warcraftmovies all shows off their pvp skills.

OP - are you saying you didn’t PVE to PVP in classic?

Pvp is doing so well they had to add warmode incentives for people to play it.

Bgs were dead so they added essence farm to get people involved.

Arena sucks, pvp class balance is awful and has been since vanilla.

I know what you did, you gotta put the TLDR at the bottom of your post thats the part we lazy tldrers check. :stuck_out_tongue:

PVP Vendors should be added back. Most people agree with this.

Those who are saying PVP was dead in the past are some weak trolls, and should be ignored

I know. They’re just some snide dragonslayer that probably trinketed sap and got served for it… :rofl:.
It was the majority of us PvPers that asked for things that could bridge the gap into PvE and a sustainable gold source. Back in the day, you could only buy TBC daggerrs with leftover honor points Post Cata days. And that was ROUGH. You’d expect to make at most just 500g in a day without professions and hustling the auction house when you weren’t grinding the Arena/RBG ladders.

They had to put in incentives because they screwed up by removing PvP servers.

BGs were dead because as a PvP player myself I gave up on BGs due to not wanting to PvE to be competitive.

Classes balance is always an issue but they did a pretty good job during MoP and Legion.

Battlegrounds are boring flag camps, wsg is cap kitty and turtle for 30 minutes, av is rush to the pve boss and win.

Area is chase the kitty around the pillar, and half the classes can’t compete due to balancing issues.

Pvp is bad. Wish it was better but its always been a side game.

Now let me bubblehearth or just phase change when i get player aggro.

Speaking of phasing, hows that battle for nazjatar phasing working out?

I’m always in warmode, instanced pvp is the poop.

Spend 5 minutes getting a group together and you’ll steamroll for days.

Nice counterargument btw, you’ve convinced me.

that was…what…10 BG wins ? not rated ? OH NOES…YOU HAD TO DO UNRATED PVP TO GET A FREAKIN CLOAK…THE HORRORS…

Meanwhile i have to grind mobs endlessly to hope for a chance at RNG to maybe get the BIS stats for my spec…yeah…that ain’t fun.
