PVP Currencies and RNG Boxes in Midnight

In TWW, conquest was character bound, honor was warbound with a 20% transfer tax, and conquest boxes were RNG as to what pieces you got (once they were available mid-season).

I would like to see honor not be taxed, and conquest be a warbound currency that is transferrable mid-season. RNG loot boxes don’t belong in a deterministic gear system like PVP has.

React and comment if you agree or disagree.

Opening boxes a bit lame cause heraldries for crafted jewelry and the legendary cloak.

Also I swear it is not truly random. High chances for jewelry, crit jewelry, and the on-use badge I SWEAR

I personally disagree.

I think that it’s already way too easy to fotm reroll and shouldn’t be made easier.

Further, the actual learning curve obtained by playing a new spec/class while grinding honor/conquest is an important piece of learning/refinement that shouldn’t be skipped.

I don’t feel a person learns to play a spec/class well when they are dealing with gear/ilvl disparity.

I think at this point it doesn’t even matter though? With paid level boosts (and leveling events) combined with the basic systems we have in place (ie crate farming) fotm rerolling is super easy.

I also can’t really blame people when blizz nerfs mw like it does and leaves vw still very good.

I dunno… I think unless we go back to classic there’s no stopping people. I’d just much rather play my main to help my alt gear than do any crate farming at all lol…

Maybe? But when you’re getting one tapped by mm at max gear you’re not learning much when honor geared getting one tapped without the enemy even popping CDs.

I think this is overrated.

They think you can learn your spec and class when sitting 90% of the BG as a ghost for having the audacity for queueing into a BG w/ 3m HP.

IMO just get rid of conquest gear and make it gold who cares if you start with full pvp or not.

Just make pvp gear not cost anything. Remove honor and bloody token armor. Conquest gear is free. The heredity or whatever they are called are also free so folks can craft the stats they want. Gear comes already socketed. A new player can get the gear before entering a a match. Add some different rewards to PvP I dunno it’s blizzard I’m sure they can figure it out. If someone thinks this is a bad idea please explain.

Not a bad idea, but DEFINITELY NOT preferred by the majority. I also disagree with your proposal, though if it happened, I wouldn’t care.

“The class did receive some pruning in midnight. Its now just fireblast, fireball, and pyro”

A truly depressing thought. I wish they’d delay the expansion for a year or two longer.

I’d definitely prefer conquest just be transferrable in lieu of boxes but I’m sure Blizzard thinks it’s “exciting” to open these and get crit rings :joy:

LOL surely getting 1 shot mid season by a fully geared conquest guy helps me learn a lot

I agree. Sucks to farm conquest on main and then get all trash useless items from the boxes. When trying with a honor geared character you don’t stand much of a chance especially when mmr is randomly 1800-2k from the start. Makes no sense

You should be able to xfer conquest with no penalty

Entering rated PvP with trashy honor gear is for the lowest scum in the game. It ruins it for all the actual PvP players.

Ok, you went only with the “fotm reroll” scenario here which carries negative connotations, but what about the guy that doesn’t have hours a week to grind conquest in randoms that wants to try out some other classes?

Remember the healer shortage? Good luck winning anything to get conquest on an undergeared healer. I play random BGs constantly. I see honor geared healers healing their little hearts out in there, but their weak heals don’t move bars.

Right now, I can take my fully geared SPriest into a random BG, find an honor geared player, and kill them through every button with little effort.

What did they learn in that < 30s amount of time?
