I’m currently playing 2s and SS at Rival II but the reward boxes are still only giving whelping crests. Surely we can agree playing at 1950 is more difficult than heroic dungeons or LFR raids? If they want the PvE item level to be upgraded with crests instead of honor then rated arena should drop equivalent crest levels. In my opinion it should be:
Whelping (heroic dungeons/lfr) pvp unranked - 1399
Drake (m0/normal raid) pvp 1400-1799
Wyrm (m+2-+5/heroic raid) pvp 1800-2099
Aspect (m+6 and higher/mythic raid) pvp 2100+
There’s currently two levels of token. One that gives 1 or 2 crests and the other that gives 2 or 3. Just make Challenger II, Rival II, and elite give the higher token most of the time for their respective crest level.
