PVP has been dead for a long long long time , its for the top 5% and the MDI, always has and always will

I think it’s a sign of the inherent flaw in their game design. But the gearing system itself aside (as the gearing system is probably peak currently), outside of the overwhelming power gaps for those who decided to do something that wasn’t pvp before hitting 70, is worrying.

A wrath level 78 in questing greens feels more impactful vs a s5 gladiator geared player than a 70 in questing greens vs a 70 in bg blues.

Neither stand a chance ofc. Just giving examples of previous power gaps.

I suck at PvP, but I enjoy Epic BGs, pretty casually. I was fully 411 geared within just a few days.

I would be the first one to agree when there’s a pointless grind. But in this case there is not. It’s incredibly easy to just hang back in BGs until you start approaching 411, at which point you can compete on a pretty even field.

The current system actually feels pretty great to me.

Yeah those kind of numbers are silly. I like how in the beginning of vanilla 4 k was considered a decent amount of HP for pvp. In the old school MMO ultima online you’d have 100 hit points…not 100 k, just 100. lol
