Has pvp gear not been “discovered yet”

Adult conversations providing feedback

Oh, that’s what you call crying?

The PvP weapons were accessible as soon as ranking dropped, before BWL.

Someone said they were gating Rank14 until AQ.

[Yamaraja-whitemane]

Then they will have the bg weapons available. Mostly the AV ones.

@Yamaraja-whitemane

Mostly the AV ones.

Yeah, but they’ll have to grind AV rep…

I’m pretty sure the point that Partrock was making was that people who rank now are effectively already grinding better gear that they will get later.

You don’t get any closer to say Tier 2 gear for spam running Wailing Caverns now, so there’s no real PVE equivalent to obtaining decent end-game gear through PVP Ranking while leveling, before it becomes available.

[Jwise-whitemane]

Don’t even try. You’re explaining to a crowd that cannot be satisfied unless the devs sit with them and adjust everything to their specification. We’re leveling to 25 for a few weeks…maybe as many as 6-8 weeks. “But I only pee vee pee!!”

I think these people expect an entire overhaul of WoW so its no longer an mmorpg, don’t have to socialize with anyone, or can just sit in BGs at every phase of SoD to avoid actually playing the game. They should just go back to retail or play a pvp-centric game like Overwatch.

Thinking I shouldn’t have subbed for 3 months.

probably not. bye.

[Gurlsonmyabs-tichondrius]

So PvErs get an “endgame raid” at 25 and PvPers get nothing? Do you not understand how dumb this sounds? Why would half the player base get endgame content and the other half gets absolutely nothing?

Sadly, you probably don’t.

This is the kind of hyperbole you expect from a child, or an adult with very limited emotional intelligence.

If you think that someone asking for commensurate gear to be available from pvp, as it is from raids, to overhauling the entire game then I’m not sure what approach might help you to understand the issue that has been raised in this thread.

It has been explained pretty clearly and concisely. If you don’t pvp as a large, or primary, part of your gameplay, then this conversation might be one best left alone. There’s lots of threads about bots.

Correct!
This is that someone:

@Kaivax

To start in the first phase of Season of Discovery, at level 25, the cap will be rank 3. Our current plan is to then increase the cap with each new phase, so that rank will cap at 9 for the first few weeks of level 60. Thereafter, we’re planning to increase the rank cap every few weeks along with the release of level 60 content such as Blackwing Lair, finally reaching rank 14 with the opening of The Temple of Ahn’Qiraj.

Thanks, Kaivax!

[Tira-shadowstrike-au]

Grand marshal gear wont be in until AQ. Pvp rank will be capped at rank 9 initially at level 60.

PVP Players were given the Ashenvale PVP event along with items to go with it. Yes its not an entire gear set but this is classic and people should be encouraged to do all the game modes. There is a ring and a trinket which are BiS from PVP, so PvE players if they want to get BiS will need to PvP as well.

I can understand coming from other versions that you were hoping for them to do an entire progression system for PvP as well, but they never stated they were going to do that. It’s ok to voice what you want, if there is enough interest, then it may happen in a future iteration.

This is supposed to gauge interest in other seasons or a potential classic+, this is basically a beta. Offering feedback to what you want is what they are looking for, please everyone keep an open mind and let people offer feedback to make the game better.
