it’s easy they want to keep this because it makes tolerating Random BG weekly quests viable for them for off-times. So far it seems the people defending the gear gap are your FoTM players.

for someone talking big about rated, you sure like to hide on an alt. but also, the problem is that the unrated side of pvp lost a whole tier of gearing combared to previous expacs. imagine in pve where you went to do heroic raiding but got normal loot instead, you would be pretty pissed off wouldn’t you? that is exactly what happened, we had heroic raid ilvl from unranked and it was cut to normal raid ilvl and we were then told to go play rated by people who dont even pvp and dont understand the difference between rated and unrated or even epics and 2s.
because the PvPers here don’t understand that the majority of their wins are due to carry groups that simply game the MMR and thus can smurf their way against new teams.

I’ll stop there. Yeah I just said 1400 is easy and that the 210 Shaman has higher ilvl than any character I have. I’m not flexing anything but it’s funny you feel the need to attack. No wonder you have no one to play with.
why, dont like being called out into the spotlight? come on, post on your main, lets see your rated record. it better be over 1400.
you attacked first, and you seem to really think i have nobody to play with for some reason, projecting maybe?
actually, lets play out a fantasy, say im bad at the game, can’t get a group, and can’t win a game, does that mean i should just be shut out of pvp entirely or shut out of the game entirely?
if players want to play but can’t because of a reason in game, then the devs have failed to make a successful game.

You have a 45% win rate around 1400 in 2v2. You are fortunate to have a steady rated BG group.
more sus than attacking. The only reason why you say it’s easy is mostly due to a few factors
- You’re rolling a FoTM Shammy build.
- You may be part of a carry group/got carried to 1400
so sorry if folks get sus of your claim

Graendoll’s main is a 210 Shaman. I don’t have a Shaman. Sorry you didn’t catch that, sus friend.
One experience with being harassed by complainers on this forum in game was enough for me.
You have a 45% win rate in 1400s 2v2 with a 220+ discipline priest.

TBF, a lot of players don’t understand this difference either.
Blizzard thinks you should quit under those assumptions, that is for sure. Or, maybe consider buying a token for a carry so you can continue your character progression.
LOL. I’m convinced you don’t even play this game. You can go from 150 to 197 in A DAY? Yeah right. I have 4 character all above 200 IL and there is NO way you can make that kind of jump in a single day. What you are saying is completely untrue. Gear disparity is an issue as well, it takes around 40 hours to get 197 from honor grinding in BG’s. That’s a lot of roflstomping you’re gonna experience over and over, and then when you finally get the gear you almost don’t even want to play anymore after going through that experience. PvP in this game is horribly unbalanced right now and only these diehard blizzard fan boys will say it’s not. Go get literally globalled by a ret pally and come back to here and tell us what you think

the problem is the Pareto distribution:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution
that should be obviously familiar to anyone with a dps meter, but what it means is that even if we “seperate the chaff from the wheat” so to say, there will always be more chaff. reduce the number of players and all that happens is you redistribute where players are on the curve, the fewer players the more end up on the low end. eventually wow would be left with just a handful of top end players and nobody else.

I don’t think I’ve done arena since the first week. Except with some buds. No point until the meta class balance and I just don’t have time. I’m undergeated for the dudes I roll with. And I didn’t get into a pvp community. I built it. U are welcome to join it

like we’ve seen in previous expansions where pvp was less than ideal, agreed.
This. My exact thoughts to fixing unrated PvP.

The systems are fine. But the burst is too heavy.
So, you failed that hard when there was NO gear gap?

I like the burst. It keeps druids from being God’s in every spec. Disc priests are super tanky but I can still get mowed down if I’m out of position. And I’m not sure the burst is really there I’m thinking of flag maps where a rogue two boomies and a mage can’t drop a tank until stacks. I’ve seen it often. I think the burst matters for those with under 25% verse
Good job on doing that, seriously. My issue is you telling other people it’s their skill that is the problem when the real secret to your success is quoted above.
It’s not easy to build a community (and keep it going) and not everyone can do it. That is something you should be proud of.
