PvP gearing idea

PVP Arenas
1

For the people who support the idea of trying to have an even level playing field while in the arena or PvP in general in regards to GEARING, what if….
So I was watching a few streams of a TBC 3v3 tourney.
The participants are placed in a “tournament realm”. And this tournament realm has allllllllllllll the gear available to them. And they customize their gear how they want.

My idea: what if this was an option in actual servers, and just make the gear only activate in instances PvP?

Then you can just look up BiS guides, and literally just find those pieces and get them, and have a PvP set that you slap on when your PvPing.

And since it’s only useable while in instanced pvp, it works out fine.

It’s exactly what they do in the arena tournaments apparently. So why not replicate that for everyone but just make the gear not give anything of stats or whatever outside of arena/PvP?

Gearing has been one of the biggest complaints in the history of forever for WoW PvP.
I feel like this would end that entirely? :man_shrugging:

This would remove all gear progression from PVP, which is essential to the MMORPG genre.

Gear progression is what people sign up for when they start playing an MMORPG. There’s a reason content that doesn’t offer gear upgrades doesn’t see much participation.
