gearing is so omega cringe this late in the season, don’t make me fly around chasing boxes or getting one tapped by npcs in shuffle
please just give a full conq set for logging in
Ilvl should really just gradually scale to a level that’s a notch or two under world pvp gear as the season progresses. And probably peak once full conquest gear is purchasable or once the conq cap is unlocked
Gearing in pvp is really low stim i gotta be honest. It stops feeling rewarding or exciting once you get your wep and like your 4th epic piece of gear
Gearing is easier than it’s ever been. Also its an rpg.

I went from like 400 ilev to 677 in one afternoon with crates.
If that’s not good enough spoils of war is probably enabled on Tuesday.

Complaining about gearing right now is crazy work and exactly how I know someone didn’t play in BFA.

okay thanks for letting me know
Let me roll 7 of the same bloody azerite shoulder from the vendor before I get the one I want. So angry with that system.

I hear ya on the frustration with that, OP, but I still honestly wish gearing took even LONGER so rerolling was less common or at least forced people to play the game more.

I sometimes do wish I could play another class without having to level it up and gear it. Like on Marvel Rivals I can just pick another champion if I want to try it out. I also realize they are two different type of games and that might not work as well with WoW.
Gearing is super easy. Play the game and you get gear.

Brother u must be new here. Have u ever tried gearing pets say 10 years ago? No they need to make gearing harder. Getting full conq gear in 5 hours today vs 3 months 10 years ago

Theres an argument for it that I can entertain. There has to be a way to discourage just jumping classes.
Its a combination of blizzard doing a good job balancing and gearing a new toon not being this damn easy.
Except it’s not just gearing that’s the culprit for this right? Back in the day it took forever to level an alt. Then you combine that with no real way to catch up on conquest that you missed out on…
Getting cap conquest gear in a week back in the day wasn’t exactly hard or slow. It was the other things holding it back. So unless blizz decides to get rid of level boosts and make leveling slow those days are gone.
Yeah let’s make 2s and 3s reward 10X more conquest per win. Crate farming is boring and I’d rather play another game than spend any amount of time doing that.

That’s a REALLY good point! That’s something I think classic did really well is the endgame felt more rewarding because you played tbe game first, whereas now it’s a rush to reach max lvl in a couple hours, skipping as much as possible, just to reach the starting line.
This is a hard balance for sure, because the more rewarding it is, the faster people quit because they got their gear. I do think that war crates shouldn’t be as farmable/rewarded as they are atm, unless sharding changes to where people actually have to fight over them.

Yeah blizz has basically said that retail is just endgame. They want you at max playing content. Pushing keys or rating. It’s just evolved into a different game.
Again I don’t know if this is 100% the case. It is undoubtedly true for some people. Yet I’m pretty sure we see mid season drop offs before people ever reach full gear don’t we?
Other games have no gearing and do they have as drastic mid season drop offs? (Genuine question, I don’t know).
Something about wows reward structure basically just encourages people to play start and end and abandon the middle. Not entirely sure how you fix that.
Agreed. Nerfed by half would probably be okay. I still think they need to drastically buff the rewards from 2s/3s. With the amount I play I basically log on my main and play it until I get bored. Then when I want to try a new class it feels like an absolute chore to gear at this point (when’s everyone’s geared, you’re not and you’re not gonna do crates). So I log and play some other game until the next week.
I’d much rather be able to que some 2s with a friend and gear in a reasonable amount of time. Aka I’ll lose most of my matches due to being bad at a new class and having no gear but I’ll get more than 30 conquest after my first win of the day?

I really hope that due to small player activity in PvP they should just streamline PvE gear instead. PvE is just far more popular and feels like waste time to grind gear for something that’s not that popular. PvP would probably become more popular than and offer better rewards.
Pve gearing takes considerably longer.
Full pvp gear after tuesday is doable in like a day.
But you still have grind arenas and ques cause be pretty rough due to lack of players in PvP.
