So you introduce Honor and Conquest vendors and get everyone hype again.
Just to timegate conquest 3 weeks later.
Smart.

Longer because you have to have gained 5k this season to get the achieve for the weapon unlock.

oof! nailed it
Conquest has always been timegated on any seasons launch?
Hmm?
Bro look at your character name its no wonder you responded that way. Stop trolling.
I really do feel like I’ve just been sold a lemon.
“Vendors are back you can get bis gear from pvp exclusively”
After we all level a few characters believing the fairy tail the day before the season drops they hit us with the truth.
Utter joke. If players want to compete at a high level this season they will have to raid or do M+ for nearly all their gear.
As hard as it is to fathom this system is actually worse in some ways than bfa. At least in BFA we could get the majority of our gear from arena while only needing to PVE for a few select pieces.
I recognize that we will have full gear “eventually” 9 weeks if we want a weapon i think someone said it was 20 weeks for full gear. So technically they weren’t lying.

Wowhead and Icyveins say a 2-handed weapon cost 4k. So it takes 2 months to get your weapon? Dafuq?!

I think that info is outdated, but I’m not home to log in and verify it on the Oribos vendors.
You should double the 550 cap increase to 1100 per week after the world first mythic raid clear.
You can also probably get your weapon from weekly chest, its RNG yes, but so are raid drops. In Nylotha we killed Mythic Carapace like 7 times before we saw a single rogue dagger and that was before raid drops got nerfed and coins removed. Conquest lets you buy what you want, no rng.

Oh, I see. Yes, conquest gear is upgradable using honor that you earn anywhere, but it’s much smarter for folks to earn their honor through rated play anyway for weekly vault purposes.
Overall, it appears that the rewards offered by randoms are taking a dive. Hopefully there’ll be some clarification at some point.
at this point im convinced someone or someone(s) are trying to ruin WoW from the inside. This is actually hilarious.
As a great prophet once said…

Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again.

Nice job posting this under general discussion instead of the PvP forums or Arena forums. Then not even sticky-posting it immediately. Garbage game design, corporate greed, you guys are a joke.

Another permanent advantage this patch is their access to 233 gear which is more powerful than the 226 gear we can get. And all they needed to do was bring back pvp stat.
This is a pretty poor system.
Make the weekly cap based on your rating. Let people play the game.
Why on earth should I be playing PvP and waiting to get my PvP rewards until the rest of the playerbase is finished raiding, finished pushing M+, and finished gearing?
Talk about being an afterthought.

Just going to leave this here for anyone that thinks this is a good system, even Blizzard (pre Activision Blizzard) disagrees with you.
