PvP is a dumpster fire

I’ll get trolled for this, so yeah the “gIt GuD” kids are bursting blood vessels, seeing this title. Anyway, to counter the premades, besides the “mKe Ur OwN bRuH” “suggestions”, I say that pvp is ranked by gear, so that o 280/300 ilvl’s have to fight only equal ilvls instead of facerolling lesser geared people in randoms, so they can feel powerful due to real life reasons affecting them.

I’m sure this idea has been proposed before, but it makes sense to me and other folks. Nothing will get done, most likely; but any suggestion to solve issues is a good thing, so if this isn’t a great idea, share what ones you have.

I appreciate cool and helpful ideas. Reply, but don’t troll and don’t fight. TY.

Next XPac PvP gear will will be similar to what is in WoD.

Also, Rated PvP’rs aren’t doing Randoms to feel powerful, they’re doing it for honour to upgrade their gear. They’d rather not play with or against random BG trash if they didn’t have to.

I liked Guild Wars putting everyone in standardized pvp gear when entering a battleground.

Can’t deny, but, waiting 6-8 years just to return to MoP/WoD vendors has been atrocious. Life used to be simple: Farm herbs > Make flasks and primary stat potions > Spam Random Battlegrounds non-stop > Life stuff…Now it’s only Life stuff because PvP has been (Legion) no PvP gear, (BFA) Pure PvE, (SL) Rating tied to gear…Like when tf am I getting half of my life back?

Blizzard needs to do something for the Casual crowd for season 4 because it’s not JUST another patch/1 more patch to wait…It’s been since the end of Warlords of Draenor since I could PvP comfortably in Random Battleground/Casual Modes…

Just bleeping throwing that out there. It’s hard to see the game in patches at this point. I see it in expansions now. Oh! They are screwing up PvP gearing again; WAIT 2 MORE YEARS NOW TIL THE NEXT EXPANSION (x3 so far)…


At this point for season 4, I’m willing to have something done to Random Battlegrounds where my gear will pop up to max ranking ONLY in Random/Casual content.

Because at this point, all I do is level toons until they hit 60 and quit because the requirements after hitting 60 is mind boggling and I personally don’t know what to collect or do. Not a single toon of mine has 2 legendaries and still have ilvl 9.1 leggos. The systems are WAY too overbearing and not straightforward. I should be able to collect legendaries on my own and not divert my path to the Auction House. Nor, just throwing this dislike out there, should I have to divert my path to buy an effing token to purchase legendary crafted pieces.

Everyone who used to pvp twink is now either level 20 on a f2p account, level 50 on a bfa account, quit, or max level doing randoms with bis gear.

Sure if you want queues to be 50 minutes instead of 5-15

They did both. The competitive pvp (ranked) had standard gear. The world V world did not.

Retail WoW Casual PvP queues are already that long…

Private servers are smoking Retail with 20-40sec queue times for Random Battlegrounds.

Used to be good times when I could just click Join and have that queue popping sound + window ready to click Enter rapidly.

thankfully they said conquest gear in dragonflight will be max ilvl, equal to mythic gear with no upgrades for pvp ilvl.

The only way they can screw this up and jebait us is if they make conquest only obtainable through actual rated content.

this actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea… especially for queuing randoms and skirmishes.

If you’re getting stomped now you’ll still be getting stomped in dragonflight.

It definitely gets hard to believe they won’t jebait us. I mean they had everyone going 2 weeks before Shadowlands released making people think “WoD vendors returning” and cleverly left out rating tied to pvp gear…

Really hoping they learned their lesson with SL and don’t try something like that. There is at least a lot of precedent for conquest being available outside of rated content, in fact every iteration of conquest points after they replaced arena points have been available from unrated PvP, even in Cata when they first appeared.

We’ll have to wait and see but I am optimistic.

This would be fantastic, conquest should only be from rated content. But I don’t see that happening.

No.

Your idea is terrible.

I appreciate when people who dont pvp dont try and comment on PvP

No they arent.

even alliance was like that for me yesterday. and we get first pick.

we get our 40 for epic and away we go. we get 40 horde…and the other 360 horde in line wait.

that was not the case last night.

I offset this with console game play. Wife and kid go wth…can’t you pick just one?

I go I did. the wow is waiting…so now I xbox it till then lol. I can’t watch youtube hours a night. it got old.

its streaky based on time played. I play oce tz. It can get slow. my case of yesterday I write off as raid night. more people in there.

not blaming them. when I lfr’d more I too did this fresh in the week. Weekend raid, lfr anyway…gets ugly. Wedneday thursday I tended to see less wipes.

I just logged in as horde and qued an Epic BG and was in within 5 minutes.
