PvP gearing is bad and not fun (HELP)

This thread should be printed and pinned to the wall around activision-blizzards office. Right around eye-height. Could make a nice border for a medium sized office space.

Why? If they cared this wouldn’t have ever happened. Certainly it wouldn’t be as far gone as it is now.

I think it is part of the marketing strategy for new expansions. They make things a little better in all avenues of the game at the launch of a new expansion, and then slowly sh$t on everything people actually enjoy in the game. By the end of an expansion it is so bad people just can’t wait to move onto the next expac. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like a pattern?

Looks at pvp vendors in MoP. Looks at completely seperate gear through vendors in WoD. Looks at “ez quick gearing…”

Looks at game losing 6-7 million players during MoP-WoD…

Looks at expansions that still had 2-3X the subs bfa has. Keep pretending though.

You mean 6-7 million people left in mop/ wod and never came back? I’m shocked. BFA has problems, but going back to mop/ wod is not anywhere close to the answer.

Keep pretending that it’s azerite traits keeping you hardstuck 1500 though.

You don’t think a bunch of people came back at 8.0? And then instantly left? Seriously man mop/wod had more at the start and end.

Keep riding the pve gear train thinking you’re awesome.

6 million people came back? Not even close, Legion/ BFA sold 3ish million copies and capped at less total players than MoP/ WoD lost. Damage is done, those players aren’t ever coming back.

That’s the difference between us. I know when I lose, it’s not because of gear. But keep looking for external things to blame for your low cr.

Lol dude bfa is lucky to have 1.5 mil playing right now. Let’s pretend that has anything to do with mop/wod :joy:

I just don’t have the arrogance to clap some undergeared too and feel good about it :roll_eyes: sorry that I like PvP to be about skill not how much gear I can grab.

But… MoP/ WoD had vendors. And that must have meant the game was great. No one would ever quit an xpac with vendors…

You think the design/ balance decisions of mop/ wod that lost millions of players have no bearing on the success of future xpacs? I forget how delusional you are.

No one is undergeared at decent cr. I think the most undergeared person I fought last season was cdew/ sam on their dh/ mw alts at 2.3k.

3 year old forum still active full of people asking for pvp gear…

Mop had the most balanced arena in the game. Cata you would que into legendary mlx or legendary rmx and just die for no reason. Wrath you would que into double smourne melee cleaves and die because a warrior hits you for 5 stack sunder damage. Mop was the only xpac where pvp and only pvp gear was the relevant option to gear for res over any other pve influence. Also since they fixed/removed the orbbotting issue that was the whole reason MoP was bad. Thats the play style and pace they should reintroduce.

I thought acti-blizz valued feedback and took it into account when developing?

No?

Stop lying blizz we all know you ignore what we want if it goes against your time-gating, time-played metric padding non sense philosophy.

Looks at participation numbers for pvp and sees only increases moving into MoP from cata. Hell there was more participation in MoP pvp than there has been all of bfa.

You are operating under Post hoc ergo propter hoc, the reason MoP and WoD didnt do so well was started in cata, and cata mop and wod failed due to crap pve lengths.

During the end of legion, I remember hearing the same thing:

Blizz said BFA is going to be a PVP Expansion it’s going to be so sick!!!11!1!

I ignored it. Having played since TBC, I knew the main point being repeated by everyone was going to prove moot. I was right, the trinkets were ridiculous and made pvp awful. Maybe not, but I was so burnt out from doing quests and trying to find azzerite pieces. So

After playing and having to deal with the BS from having to gear neck, find the right azzerite pieces, I quit. I just returned to be met with : A ridiculous cloak quest line, and even WORSE PvP from the beginning somehow. Does any of the devs actually play this game?!

This is the last time, I canceled the sub I started again yesterday. Think this is really it for me boys. Keep fighting the good fight. This PvP thing, they really don’t care about.
