Petition: Add in lvl 58 PvP Gear

This is factually false and not how Classic is currently implemented, but somehow it is inconvenient for you and can be handwaved away.

Factually false?

@Bornakk

The items you earn from the PvP Rank Rewards will be the versions from patch 1.12.

@Nolife-bonechewer

The patch notes for 1.11 explicitly say they were added , and the itemization post talks about items added for catch-up purposes, which the 1.11 set clearly was.

@Ohshiftson-stalagg

The 60 versions replaced the 58 versions.

@Ohshiftson-stalagg

The ONLY reason they didn’t just update the item is because they were updating the level requirement of the item, as well. If they just modified the existing item, sub level 60s could be wearing level 60 gear.

@Nolife-bonechewer

technical limitations made it easier to implement 1.12 stats, where as 1.12 availability is not actually being implemented for everything else.

@Ohshiftson-stalagg

Really, the thing I find most annoying is their inconsistency in applying this thinking. Loot tables (or some quest rewards, as you have noted as an example) sometimes use the earlier versions, and other times use later versions.

Going in circles, at this point.

@Nolife-bonechewer

This addition basically harms no one

And the addition of extra mailboxes throughout the cities harms no one. I still don’t want that change, or any change for that matter.

They chose 1.12 as their reference for the data, and otherwise gated content based on when it came out. As far as the PvP rewards are concerned, the level 60 versions of the blue sets are the 1.12 version.

If Blizzard is being inaccurate to 1.12 data/rewards elsewhere throughout Classic, it should be fixed to be accurate to 1.12. Just because Blizzard has been inconsistent in following their plans doesn’t mean it’s okay to start doing things that never happened in Classic just because you like it.
