How anyone could think that this is going to be close shearly because of Vers confuses me greatly.
amen

I’m genuinely curious what Blizz thinks they have accomplished with gearing in PvP since WoD.
Do they think they have made it accessible for new players?
Do they think PvP gear getting curb stomped by Raid/Mythic+ gear is the way PvP is supposed to work?
Do they think they have gotten rid of players optimizing by carrying two different sets for PvE vs PvP?
Do they think hidden ilvl scaling, hidden pvp coefficients, hidden pvp stat weights have made PvP less convoluted?
What are the positives your changes to PvP gear have made since WoD?

I honestly dont know why they just dont go back to the way you geared from Cata-MoP as well as pvp stats. I wish they would rly get a legit interview and someone ask them these questions on the spot.
I have read everything to your post at this point in your thread. Many hit it pretty good and others better. However, your post HERE is concise and drove it home. This is exactly how it worked. To the T.
I’m glad you agree. For some reason there’s a good bit of players who think what’s being requested is free gear.
Fix PvP gearing!
It hasn’t effected the world first mythic raiding race.
PVErs dont feel forced to PvP to gear up.
You literally spam run the dungeon until you get your drop. That’s what we’ve been doing for the entirety of bfa and will continue to be done in SL since gearing up through pvp isn’t going to be viable.
The only thing I’ve heard was the whole essence thing? Which of course pales in comparison to what PvPers have had to do in BFA and soon to be SL.
Trash gear in the first place, why so difficult to get? It makes zero sense. Blizzard has absolutely no clue what they’re doing
Lol wut… A m+ takes 30 minutes tops to run. Yes you won’t necessarily get it the first run. Hell the first 10. That’s still 5 hours tops for a much higher ilvl item with the correct stats on it. Why would someone waste more than 5 hours grinding a lower ilvl item?
Not to mention insane trinkets or item procs that have been a staple of bfa. I guarantee you double drest is going to greatly out weigh some pretty low vers bonus (especially in the first few seasons). Not to mention weapons with procs like geti which is your highest or second highest damage in a battle.
It really sounds like you have no PvP experience and clearly don’t get the issues we’ve been facing for two expansions in a row. The same issues that are not being addressed in sl.

I think they are doing this so people play the new content and not old BGs. But I see how this is a problem if you don’t want to PvE. This a time played metrics issues. Because if people aren’t doing the new content then they can’t justify making new dungeons/raids.
yep, killed it with that response
literally stomped it into the ground
attaching power to rating makes no sense and makes for a worse gameplay experience, cosmetics are the proper reward for rating. The new bliz team is just reinventing the wheel that has already been tested tried and proven.
This is what I’ve been saying. A lot of people saying it’s going to be fine have limited to no experience in PvP in the past few expansions. Literally had someone saying that if you spend 50 days at least spending 4 hours doing BGs then you should get the full set therefore it’s okay.
On top of their statement of “this is my forum alt” once people started checking their armory.

i like been able to use pvp gear in pve, but i would prefer to be more balance were honor can get you the same as raid, and raid doesnt overpower like crazy at pvp.

Looks like Blizzard is doubling down on rating requirements on gear and renown time gates with the most recent honor gear changes.
If you aren’t a mythic raider, M+ is the only way to gear up for PvP now, while saving conquest for trinkets/bad RNG in other slots instead of full conquest gaer.
Why? Who knows. I’d love to know, but we’ll never know. Blizzard only talks to us to flame us.

In the context of this game, yes it is.
