I’ve been pondering… is it really even worth pvping if I’ll never live the dream of being overgeared and pooing on random bg noobs?
Yeah for ez gear

That’s a pver view of things. Pvpers use pvp to relax and destress after a long day. Nothing is more relaxing then when your finally Uber geared and can play leisurely.

What else would you do? Watch youtube videos then mimic the movements for purples?
Fighting robots is for children. Fighting men is for gods.

And it’s very stressful until you get to that point.
Fixed that for you. Pvp is never stressful for pvpers.

This is a bad week. The renkown 22 upgrades aren’t available and the gear gap has spiked a bit. I’m thinking it’ll be less bad next week.
i only do casual pvp, do a few random BGs and smack some folks around and been doing alright with a mix of 184 PvP gear and some misc PvE/Conquest gear
i think when you hit 184 you’re pretty good to go for random BGs in general and those queueing with questing gear are in for a bad time
If you like it it is worth it. But if you are not geared it won’t be fun as matchmaking doesn’t care for ilvl or stuff like that.
If you like PvP you can get 200 ilvl gear with conquest and weekly vault, If you do PvP a LOT then you can get higher ilvl gear.
If you are just casual, you can start doing 4 mythic+ (at least +7) a week to obtain ilvl higher than 200 on the weekly vault.
If you don’t like PvP then it is not worth it… and if you are truly gonna be stuck at, let’s say, 160 ilvl, and there is no way of getting higher gear cuz you are cursed… then it’d also be not worth it.
Even in the starter pvp gear, you stand very little chance of making an impact.
No, pvp should be a fair match.
Fair matches and random bgs is an oxymoron. There’s always undergeared and overgeared. Not to mention balance issues.

I want that knight armor so I’ve been grinding conquest on two plate alts.
You build enough versatility and suddenly you’re one punch man.
Epics are better. Fewer premades and you can find ways to have a leveraged impact. In IoC I’ve always thought the “per unit impact” of guarding Quarry/Refinery is underrated. Or back when the AV 2 tower rush meta was still viable you could delay the other team by 30 seconds and potentially change the outcome.
I’d say it’s worth it. I’m leveling/gearing alts through pvp only. Pop a movie or TV show on my second monitor and just chill farming honor. And you can tell who is and isn’t geared easily enough.
That’s pretty much all I’ve been doing, focusing more on the objectives, since I’m undergeared and need honor but that gets boring pretty quick.
I’m 192 on my main rocking full PVP gear except for my 184 M0 belt. It’s been pretty fun so far.
I’m starting to think Blizz purposely puts off balancing to make people chase leveling and gearing meta specs and spend more time in game then pulls the rug out from under them with nerfs.
No. And you know it.
