When I first started playing wow my main goal was open world PVP. In order to get good gear for PVP I needed to raid. I was very motivated about rating because the gear that I obtained would help me do better in PvP.
Now upon returning to wow this past year I see no reason to do PVE at all and I am sad about that. I used to enjoy PVE
but if you take away the ultimate goal of it getting me better gear for PVP then it seems pointless.
It’s rarely a disadvantage to engage in multiple forms of content.
PvP gear being (for the most part) bis in PvP is ideal, though. It’s also too early to really say what’ll be best, which could easy be multiple pieces of mythic raid or even keystone gear.
I’ve never liked raiding. My friend that got me into the game sold me on the raiding aspect but as soon as I found out how to pvp I was hooked on that. I could do bg’s for the rest of my life and be happy. Even in my unrated conquest gear going up against 1800 gear. Love it!
