I know there is the daily which provides 120 conquest points for a win. Without additional conquest from the rest of the daily BG’s a player may do in the day, what’s the point of it? In order to get gear you’re doing Arena’s or Rated BG’s anyway, 120 points isn’t going to change much for those players.
There are players like myself who prefer the randomness for random BG’s, but those 120 points a day aren’t going to get us much gear. I don’t enjoy arena and rated BG’s really come down to which side has the better comp/team makeup.
I just want to hit that random button, have some fun and be rewarded. The 120 current provided is more of a hook than anything else. We can’t do much with it and it just tries to force us into parts of the game we don’t enjoy.
I completely agree. It’s kinda stinky that if you don’t want to do arenas or can’t put together consistent groups for rated battlegrounds that you can’t keep up with those that do/can.
(And yeah, I know the point is to play with others and to fill out the queues to keep the content economy rolling, but for my part I like to pvp on a whim rather than on a schedule)
I mean, at 120 cp/day it’ll take TWO MONTHS (60 days) before you have the total minimum conquest required to purchase a weapon, and in that time you can get maybe 2 pieces of gear and still afford said weapon when the day comes. 3 items…In two months. There’s 16 item slots (17 if you use 1h+OH); there’s no way you’ll never come close to finishing a set per season. Plus, you’re already giving up the “better” set that requires minimum arena ratings, so it’s a double whammy of being way behind. Extra conquest with every additional random battleground would go a long way.
Additionally, with the recent honor buffs (and in the spirit of the honor trade goods vendor), another suggestion I have would be to have purchasable-with-honor commendations that reward a small amount of conquest – say, 3000 or 3500 honor for 50 cp – as a way for those already honor capped to continue progressing on their own.
IMO honor point gains should just be replaced with conquest points. Once you reach your cap, you earn honor.
The conquest cap will increase by 4k every week. In 4 weeks BG’s will be dead because people will have a 20k conquest point cap to be catching up with and that will be much quicker to earn in arenas than BG’s.
Having a weekly cap on conquest points seems irrelevant.
