I know I might get back lash for this and it is just my opinion though I think I wouldn’t be the only one who thinks this. Could we please take away the free for all in world pvp or for that matter not have the extra rewards because really it’s a pain in the orc’s butt that I have to have war mode all the time in order to get extra stuff in world quests. They should have it for both, one for pvp mode and the other pve. Once you get it from one side you can’t gain it from the other. To me that would be more fair.
Please don’t get me wrong I have nothing against world pvp but it is a pain in the orc’s rear that I am trying to just get some loot from a pvp boss or area for that matter and always getting to be attacked, by my own faction as well. Yeah, it must be nice getting free kills for those that don’t have real skill. Really pvp should stay in BGs and Arenas. More so when people like me are not geared for it and on top of that using pvp gear for dungons and raids. The way I see it getting pvp gear is more of an edge to do most content and it have been for years which really shouldn’t be the case. Most of the time they are high enough to do normal Raids, at least the last time I check which I could be wrong. Still, I would say the gear shouldn’t be high enough to do raids at all or higher than heroic dungeons.
Otherwise, what is the point of doing dungeons and raids if pvp gear will just be all you need? Again I have nothing against pvp but still I think some of need to change.
War Mode exist for people that still like world pvp. The rewards are there due to world content being more dangerous to interact with because of said world pvp.
What you’re suggesting is to get something for nothing.
for one, pvp gear should be able to do normal raids and low keys, but it wont be optimal. that’s just one way to gear up and see the story in raids. another is to do dungeons, which sounds like what you should be doing.
second, why are you trying to do world pvp quests if you don’t like pvp? you don’t need those rewards
I was thinking the opposite. Turn off war mode and get EVEN MORE loot. Risk Vs. Reward is a dated concept. No risk, big reward is where it’s at now. I should be getting gear just for logging in. Honestly, I kind of irritates me I am not getting gear based on my forum activity.
Can I just have gear be in a chest that I can walk to. “It’s a pain in the orc’s rear that I am just trying to get loot from a boss or an area for that matter and always getting attacked, by Mobs.”
It’s what I been doing but I see people getting max gear early and it’s all pvp, making me feel like doing dungons and normal raids a waste of time and pointless.
Think of it like this:
If in PvE: My pvp gear is always going to be weaker than your pve gear in it.
If in PvP (All modes) Your pve gear is going to be weaker than my pvp gear.
If you’re going into mode with the other mode’s gear then yes you should get outclassed by someone wearing the right gear for the mode.
Side Note: Gearing for PvP isn’t that long like it was in SL. Yeah you’re going to get your face pushed in for a bit but a day of honor gather and you don’t have to worry about that anymore. And if you got the G or know someone, you can make a starter green PvP gear set so you’re not too gimped while you grind out your honor set.
Well pvp armor is all versatility, there are only a couple pve specs that can get by with that much vers. So ilvl is deceiving in that sense. you could be much lower in ilvl, but if you have optimized stats, your going to do better in pve.
Yes its all Vers. which depending on spec and class its all you need which make it op. Still the item level alone is enough to do most dungeons modes and the normal raid when starting which again makes working for gear from normal and heroic dungons a waste of time and maybe the normal raid, at least until conquest comes out (if that is the right name) and then might even out do heroic.
I could be wrong but still this is how it feels to me. I’m not trying to troll or give pvp a bad rap, and maybe a bit off topic but still I think it should be more balanced.
This said only proves my point, which means you should go for pvp gear rather than pve gear to do all content. Which makes most of getting pve gear pointless. That’s what I’m seeing so far.
As somebody me who detests world PvP, I’m in total agreement. You get the bonuses to offset the downtime spent being dead. And the rest of us don’t have to deal with PvP shenanigans in the open world.
