The max ilvl of PVE gear is being increased by 6 and there’s no word from blizz stating that PVP ilvl is also increasing or that PVP ilvl is capped to 678ilvl.

This will probably only affect people high on the ladder where a 6 ilvl difference will be felt while queuing into HoF/Mglad/R1 type players facing each other.
Your typical KSH player isn’t going to just up and start PVPing, and if they do it will be free rating for anyone who PVPs regularly.

Vastly underestimating how much 6ilev is and how many people will have it
but also not cos they just buff conq/pvp scaling

I was there, Kendalf. I was there 3,000 years ago when the gap between Rivals and Duelists were a comparitive (or exact) ilvl difference to what’s currently proposed. We lived to tell the tale, and I think it will be less rampant now since a lot of PVP players don’t PVE, and vice versa.
But WoW players are also psychotic fiends, maybe everyone starts spamming 7’s and 10’s, who knows. Sounds like a good day for the crows (key boosters).

ive gotten lucky in vault and have 5/5 myth tier
dont need an advantage in pvp bc of it
This will do more good than harm. PVEers having a slight ilvl advantage on ladder leads to them dipping their toe into PVP to see of they can cheese some wins. Maybe then it won’t just be gamer dad meta slaves queing into eachother and AWC competitors fighting at 2.2
Not enough players who play PvP are actually going to get max iLvl pve gear. Not many pvp players care about pve that much. Plus the secondary stats on PvE gear are WEIRD and often not something to worry over…
They had better AUTOMATICALLY scale all CONQUEST and CRAFTED PvP gear to the new iLvl cap… if they want me to buy wow tokens to recraft to the new iLvl cap I will instantly unsub.

Funny thing is that you could get a considerable early season advantage with pve, both in tier and/or mythic track pieces and it didn’t really pose any issue.

How is haste/mastery wierd? I mean if you got your 30% versa or so, you can keep that and go for haste / mastery gear as destro and that makes quite a difference in damage output
You could also pay for a few ingame service and get your conquest cap reseted. Getting full pvp gear way before you should.
