I’m sorry, but this is just borderline unacceptable. Please look at the time invested vs rewards. As an example, some of the weekly PvE quests award heroic quality gear, for what can be done in about an hours time. Yet, this reward, which takes 10 weeks to complete, awards a sigil that is actually less than what the weekly 385 piece is?
I haven’t done rated all this season, because I hate rated. So, this sigil for me, awards 380. What kind of design philosophy is this? It really shows a disconnect with the PvP community.

Hand out a free god damn Trophy to everyone, because you’ve made a lot of people pretty mad. How do you make that kind of mistake? Just shut up, and hand out the things that you said you would to all of these people who were lied to.

Quoting from the video for convenience:
“And then thats combined with the Trophies that can upgrade your gear to your appropriate rating, every week of conquest will also give you Quartermaster Coins that give you a steady sense of progress towards earning those Trophies. You should be able to pick the pieces that you want for given slots and have the ability to upgrade those to the appropriate item level to the rating you’re playing at.”
Except Sigils are, somehow, a DOWNGRADE to the gear you get at the end of matches and obviously a big downgrade to weekly chest items - in other words, it does not serve the intended purpose of upgrading gear received in the past to your current rating.
PLEASE rethink this or at least stand by what you’ve represented not only in the rewards page (for 12 weeks, may I add) but also in the live Q&A.

Crazy Idea… how about you get rid of both of those broken sigils and replace it with one that gives you +5 or +10 Ilvl upgrade up to a max Ilvl. This to me feels like a way more reasonable reward for the effort given and it can scale over time with the players as they get better gear which is a big win cause we know scaling and pvp devs hate each other. Just a thought take it or leave it… you’ll prolly leave it but whatevs

The only way of getting 415 azerite from pvp is gettting 2400, no? Even at duelist the warlord’s & cache items are still 410?
Mythic firstboss is easily and frequently pugged; free 415 gear. M+10 is a cake walk for a random pug group of ilevel 400+ dps and 385+ tank and healer. 400 drop from dungeon, 410 from chest. Monthly 4 mythic dungeon weekly gives a 400. The warfront gives a 400. The rating you have to get in order to get anything item level 400+ from either random drops or weekly box from arena is just substantially higher in difficulty for the average player than all of this.
This was the problem in legion, except we had templates and gear didn’t matter as much. Their “solutions” to offset the fact that templates are gone and gear matters more now - the conquest cap rewards and the sigils, are just not helping, they are only throwing more low item level gear at us.
I think this is what people are most hacked off about. A lot of people were under the impression that these hard to get “trophies” were going to be a step forward for this problem.

Ok, so let me see if i got this straight… You are saying that the 10 week farm or let´s say that i used the coin, and i got it in 8 weeks. Only gives you an upgrade up to 395 ILVL of a non Azerite gear, even tho, when we complete this “quest” we are to be getting the 400 ILVL piece?. Man, you guys really put some thought onto this, want a cookie?.

So then who are these actually useful for?
Like, who’s capped conquest 10 times and gets an upgrade out of this that they’re happy with?

Could you imagine if you had to wait 2 an half months to get something and it was normal level bod gear lol. this is pretty much what is happening right now in pvp.
So no residuum, no way to get azerite gear other than being lucky once a week.
Low ilvl drops from rated pvp, being at 2100 which is basically high end with current mmr/ratings only rewards 400 base loot.
After waiting 2 an half months, get an item that you prob have a surplus of if you do any rated pvp and just vendoring for 50 gold at this point.
Even emissarys and warfront once a turn over quests give better ilvl loot than most anything from pvp outside of 2400 rating.
While also making gear/traits matter massively in a pvp scene.
There is actually a really simple fix for this but blizzard refuses to listen to it.
- weekly chest always rewards a warlords trophy, this allows you to save them and upgrade your pieces of gear that you get from doing pvp and also your weekly conquest cap, makes it worth to keep a 385 socked item so it can become a higher ilvl piece socketed later on after you finish the weekly cap an loot the chest. change QM coins to always give a warlord trophy after you collect 10.
I feel 13 weeks of caps an saving gear should be enough to fully deck out your char in a reasonable amount of time.
This removes 2 things. the bad rng process and the time restriction it takes to gear in pvp and also relieves that stressful feeling of getting nothing at all from your weekly chest.

Poor design as usual, I would expect nothing more from Blizzard
The grinded rewards from the content are worse than the gear that drops even at crap rating
This is akin to mythics giving normal level gear in the weekly chest

Blizzard- We messed up, and made players do something they normally wouldn’t have. We will do nothing to correct this.
Blizzard : your a pvper? you think we give a crap about you?
Im not a game designer but let me give you a hint on how rewards should work in video games…
IF SAID REWARD takes a LONG TIME to get. It should be REALLY GOOD.
If it isn’t people aren’t stupid they will say the hell with it. this is just a small example but god damn.
classic blizzard

The reward needs to match your rating. If not then it is just free loot for doing nothing. But it should ACTUALLY MATCH your rating, not be completely worthless like it is now. I feel like they really screwed up end of dungeon and end of match rewards this xpac. They are only useful if they titanforge.

You can get 415 azerite pieces from the weekly cache at duelist or higher.
You guys can try to validate a concept that even a toddler would understand.
Or you can realize that blizzard does not function on logic, only greed.
Stop giving them your money.
They do not listen to feedback.
They do not care.
