I think as a general statement the Reputation gains were a good change. It gave access to PVP gear and options to players.
The Gear, however, has been touched very little and lackluster for the effort put in to earn it PVE Gear has seen far more changes and buffs.
There is also a substantial time effort in regards to pvp vs pve and the rewards feel like they’re more of a fail-safe than anything else, “If i don’t get this PVE item at least i can get this PVP item” but you still spend copious amounts of time earning the rewards from pvp.
I’m just saying it would be nice if it got more attention on their reworking or if maybe more rewards were added to PVP like the Reals change to PVE where even old content is more incentivized. Perhaps add a Marks to Reals exchange and a care package based on honor gains per week. Once you reached x threshold you got this package in the mail, then u reach another benchmark and get a little better a package and so on.
Could also rework Concerted turn ins to give some sort of PVE buff item like a # use Banner that gave a PVE Buff but could only get it from PVP. WSG and AV need some love b/c right now they’re completely dead. If incentivizing those bgs is too hard maybe make an exchange where u can turn in marks for reals and buy marks with reals so u could turn in AB and buy WSG or AV to then do a Concerted turn in that nets u a pve Reward. Ideally you stop failing at incentivizing those other BG’s. I think a 50 all stats (raid wide) banner 150 yds range 5 min 5 uses would get people reved up to pvp again and keep them coming back to get more. just dont put the bar so high that people wont want to do it.
As it stands now once u hit R14 and exalted all factions pvp does nothing for you, where comparitively pve is giving Reals.
Any thoughts? I can’t possibly be the only one who has noticed that the whole way through the lvling process and into 60 content as well that the pvp rewards have always played 2nd fiddle to PVE rewards, have seen less attention to their rework and fails to have a model where once u ‘beat’ pvp ie ranking grind there is no further purpose to it.
