@sapyoass No it doesn’t promote it in the same way, that was a small part of my point. Nobody sells random and skirmish bgs/arenas, they sell the rated matches. For that relation you want to make to make sense they would have to be selling Normal dungeon runs or world quest progress. You’re just trying to inflame people not make valid points.
Also while iLvl is the focus here I think this idea is being approached from a weird angle- What I’m really asking is can anyone actually say what it is you lose to counter the perceived benefit of not having iLvl apply in Random battleground and Skirmish Arenas.
I cannot be more clear about the fact that this is not for the purpose of the process of gearing, its for the purpose of accessibility and PLAYING the game without being dead useless weight and being berated for not being geared in entry content.
