10 weeks for 226 gear is actually really fast…
If PvP gear was more related to PvP (Like with resilience), I’d be fine with the gear cap. But when you can get nice vers gear in M+/Raid, basically they’re saying “Don’t pvp for pvp gear unless you want to be gimped by ilvl”

Assuming some people can get 2100.
Blizz made it very clear that M+ is no longer intended to be a PVE endgame, so it isn’t comparable to rated pvp.
This doesn’t make any sense.
Mythic+ weekly chest is the most accessible 226 loot source out there.
Yeah.
Only takes 1600 to get heroic gear though 213 which better than the 210 mythic+ cap.
Oh yes, good idea let PVE Champs stomp PVP players, let people that like to fight the computer have advantage. Who cares about those that like to fight players.
You failed again Blizzard, i was actually really hyped.

M+ players: and?
Haha he’s not wrong fellas 
if I am understanding this correctly, this is grossly unfair to pvpers. it will take 10 full weeks to even be eligible to purchase a weapon that will be obsolete without a bunch of upgrades while mythic+ players will be fully geared by then by a mile. This is overly restrictive for no reason.

How is it a 'Mythic plus weekly chest" when it has three rows for pvp, three for raiding and three for m+?

They already said the 5k requirement for weps is being removed.
Of the 3 ways to get a 226 item from the weekly chest, mythic+ is by far the easiest.
Single +14 dungeon, not even timed.
2100 rating.
3 mythic raid boss kills.
This actually seems really good. The only issue really is the achievement to get the weapon. Locking it behind the achievement for so long is… yeah. At most it should be 4 weeks(as that is what it would take to able to buy a two-handed weapon).
Also, I think people should take note on how they have slowed down gearing in general. We will get a piece each week from the vault and also be working towards a vendor piece that we want. Not only that, but upgrading said pvp gear to a high item level will just take honor(and the they capped it at 2100 instead of 2400). It will be extremely easy to get high item level pvp gear. It will just come in slow and steady.
In all honesty I think we have it pretty good with pvp gear this season.
Keep up. The 5000 CP before weapon unlock is being hotfixed out.
It’s hard to keep up with all the changes, but they already said the 5k requirement for a wep is being removed.
Meanwhile PvE players can get gear in Mythic/Mythic + ontop of Normal and Heroic Raid.
Gonna be ruff one for pvpers with how gear scales now. Season 1 starts we get enough for a belt on week 2 while PvE players are half way filled out with 200ilvl+
Blizzard is doing their best to ensure arena and pvp can not be people’s sole experience and for that they will lose players. Forcing people to play parts of the game they hate is not a solution. This company is absolutely clueless.
This 100%. They’re idiots.

Can just give PvPers access to PvP versions of those trinkets though. buying it with conquest or something only.
The leveling up during PvP helps a bunch for balancing the game math in general with that.
Could have have an upgrade for the trinket to make it PvE or PvP ready, depending on your source for it.
Why would anyone want to use a legendary ring, instead of like a helm or chest in general?
