It’s actually an important metric in games these days. The more eyeballs on your game, the more likely you are to draw new players. It may not mean any one thing specifically, but it’s a red flag when people who put up hours of content a day have quit
Oh wow, people enjoyed formats they did well in. What a devastating insult!
It’s not difficult to hit the milestones after you’ve done all the busy work. But unfortunately the busy work is miserable. And if you’re more of a random bger, once you got you Rival gear to avoid being globaled in unrated PVP, you just perpetuate the issue. I got 1800 geat using the abysmal LFG Alliance community, went to a random, started globalling people and quit playing a week later.
It’s my own experiences, but even after getting gear it’s not very fun.
It sounds like your problem is that you actually enjoy competition. A good chunk of the pvp player base wouldn’t get bored though, globalling people is why they play.
Ive said it once, ill say it again…
One set of conquest gear. Have transmog options for higher levels of rating. It destroys any chance of getting better gear with levels that most dont have a chance of getting. Level the playing field to as it was during MoP.
Climb rating, get better gear.
They’re returning to the games RPG roots, just like the people wanted.
Who are these people?!?! Literally everybody wants mop / wod gearing or templates you can customize
He’s fairly new to this forum and has been pushing that agenda.
I can’t tell if he’s pulling an elaborate troll job, or just plain delusional.
The progression aspect of the gear is perfect, though.

Well, ppl seems to disagree with you all over the internet.
Climb rating, get better gear.
So, u play better then u get better gear?
Well, it looks like the worst system.
The solution to better PvP overall is simple, yet the Actiblizz devs are inept
IMO this list would increase participation and morale.
- Remove the gear upgrade system - only 1 honor set and 1 conquest set - the elite set will be appearance only.
- Remove the rating/renown locks on gear.
- WoD system on gear scaling up in PvP combat.
- 10 item level difference between honor and conquest gear.
- Vendor with tier sets - bonuses unique to each class and spec - variety of offset pieces to tailor secondary stats to your playstyle.
- Merc mode option available to both factions - or a free for all BG system that allows the mixing of factions to allow for faster queues.
- Tuning and balancing of classes/specs.
- Communication with the PvP playerbase regarding issues and concerns.
- Bring back the blacklist option - Seething Shore and ToK are garbage I never want to set foot in.
Ill add more items to ur list:
- Queue class balance, no more queue with 6 hunters. no healers, tanks just in ur team, etc…
- Separate balancing for pvp with some diferent skills if necessary to avoid class unbalancing evey new patch… (FF14 does this)
Not a soul has fun in BGs except those paying elites to carry them.

We elites are people, too.
I would do nothing but RBGs simply because there is a measure of structure and general gear balance if there was a way to do so without waiting so long for a group to form.
Blizz has to change or they’ll just keep losing subs. I already paid enough for this game and a subscription. I am not gonna pay someone real money to carry me just to get ranked for gear. I plan on giving Blizz a couple more months and then look for another game.
A lot comes down to what 10.0 brings. Things aren’t changing this expac, can only hope for the best going forward but with blizz’s track record I wouldn’t bet with +1000 odds
A buff to honor gear might help participation a bit, though.
it needs a big boost, cause the current ilvl does very little and you will still be one shotted. Your pretty much useless unless you do rated.
Blizzard always finds a way to kill the good things in this game

They better change for 9.2. They have had long enough and enough feedback about it. Also, they have changed PvP gearing every patch so far in SL. All changes that they can say “we are addressing your concerns”, but don’t actually give players what they want.
I honestly think that the current dev team has a mental block when it comes to bringing back WoD gearing. Was the WoD dev that came up with WoD gearing mean to the current devs or something? It seems like they are trying everything they can to not give us a what we want and have been asking for ever since Legion hit.
bringing back WoD gearing.
I would wager the accounting department will not allow this to happen, Devs have to answer to somebody.
Cash rules.
I beg to differ, bgs are the bees knees.
how many hours a day do you play wow?
They want too force people to do rated
They want too force
Encourage is a better word, I think.
People are not happy because they’re not queing into bgs like arathi basin
