So I’ve just come back from a break from playing Wow.
I truly thought it couldn’t be any worse than last expansions-last season, but boy was I wrong. To be fair I’m only 3 days into being level 60 and only 171 ilvl.
I spent time leveling to 60 and I’m already regretting my decision to re-sub and level.
I really don’t understand the current PVP gearing method.
So from what i’ve read with the many disgruntled posts from players stating that anything under 200 ilvl is literally 1-3 shot. (Which has been my experience so far).
Stun, or perm snare then 1-3 hits & dead (posting pics on twitter) with my nerd raging.
So perhaps some of you people reading can explain to me:
For PVP:
#1 - Why is there an upgrade system for completely “trash” gear? This gear is not good enough to get you into bg’s, it’s not good enough to get you into arena’s. (With out being 1-3 shot)
I have almost a full set and have spent 15k honor and countless hours SUFFERING to get the set and additional honor to upgrade most of it to rank 3 (which is as high as I can go due to being gated by (Renown) which seems utterly ridiculous.
It yields me 26k hp & 14% resilience and I still die in 1-3 shots. (I’m not sure how this is anything but frustrating). I’ve experienced ZERO fun, have almost punched my computer a few times, while alt+f4’n and cussing out loud.
#2 - Why is the cost so high to upgrade when the benefit is so minuscule?
#3 - Why is the upgrade system gated (renown) when there’s such a HUGE GAP in the power between ilvls?
I can’t wrap my head around it; Unless the goal is to make everyone quit casual PVP???. or to unsub
- I can’t get renown levels from doing bg’s
- I can’t get gear (drops) from doing bg’s
- The honor I get, can buy me super minuscule upgrades which still yield me 2-3 shot deaths because the ILVL is so low.
So after spending hours and hours and hours for days doing bg’s to get all the upgrades, I will still get 2-3 shot in arena’s, because the power gap is too large between ilvls.
So the result is, it will yield me just a time suck with no actual benefit to helping my character progress or get into rbg’s or arena’s.
I honestly don’t see how this is fun in any way for anyone coming to the game late.
Great job blizzard!
