I DON’T LIKE arenas, never have and being forced to play this to gain access to domination item upgrades is horrible.
I hope that one day PVP will go back to being like in pandaria, because this current system is frustrating, I miss the time when I could equip myself while having fun with the content I like. I currently have to choose between having fun and equipping and I CANNOT have fun while dying with hitkill.

Are you late to the memo? They are literally making it like MoP in DF
No, in pandaria only those who liked it played arenas, you don’t need it to equip yourself.

Kind of. Unfortunately, your PvP gear won’t work in WM so you will have to grind rated for item level.

Why do people keep saying this? Is there a link or source you can point me to?
Holkina mentions it. He doesn’t say why, he just explains it’s a decision they are making.

That’s kinda lame. If they’re worried about the PVE mobs in warmode being too easy, why can’t they just buff mob HP/Dmg a little in warmode and call it a day.

I agree with you. I actually made a thread about this in the World PvP sub-forum if you’re curious. It’s gotten low attention.

He said you can upgrade pvp gear to higher ilvl in pve but in pvp it stays at one static ilvl.

If you can get in a group. I have a terrible time getting in as a hunter even though my ilvl is 296.
People are throwing around the word “forced” way too liberally. You aren’t forced. You can do RBGs, or you know…simply not.
let me change it then, they try to force the player to make ranked content, even if the player doesn’t want it.

They’re coming out with world PvP sets of gear. Idk how it will compare to ranked sets, but it’s something different.
this argument sucks. the entire game is voluntary, obviously. doesn’t change the fact that for people who play casually, wanting to just queue random bgs or world pvp will net you a slow and weak set of honor gear that won’t protect you from fully cq geared players ripping you in half in a few globals.
rated content is not organically improved at all by damaging this gameplay experience. it’d be different if rated pvp was something blizzard worked hard on, but that’s just transparently not happening

Outside secondary stat itemization we should only have one set, no honor gear just Random bgs and world pvp give conquest too so everyone can be on same page same ilevel and less of this gap.
This would be great and maybe add some rated bonuses non gear related above 2400 too for people who are active.

Well i mean the ilvls tied to rating all goes away in 10.0, which we’ve known about for a while. The problem is being resolved, and all we can do is be content with that and wait. They aren’t going to fix it before then, and complaining about it now doesn’t do much either.
