Just finished gearing one character for pvp and getting back into it, PVP is fun. Unfortunately with the rated queue times at this point I almost can not farm my conquest on my alt (or really play pvp in general) in an effective manner.
Just finishing gearing only to be met with essentially a “dead game” on the other side is very sad. I had some simple ideas for specific types of queues that would make queues much faster. (I’m sure people have said these before)
1: Why is there still no dueling/ 1v1 queue? Even if it would be unbalanced and probably dominated by a couple of classes people love dueling and would love to be able to be rewarded for it and find it easily. it would also have a queue time of 1 sec… which is amazing
2: DPS only pvp queue(maybe tanks included but tanks bad in PVP) PVP is completely dominated by healers with how important/ powerful they are, that is fine that is how normal wow pvp has functioned for a long time. The problem is that most people don’t like playing healer, when I queue with my healer friend, queues are 1-4 mins, without they are 15-25 mins. I think that it would be very different, however, people would be interested to see what pvp was like without healers babysitting everyone.
I’m sure people have suggested these before, both of these would be easy to implement and many people would be excited, it might make pvp more healthy and not focused around healers in game and in queue. Also there is no reason to not have duel queue that one is free win

You can farm conquest in unrated content and world content. You don’t need to jump in to rated in greens

You could try healing in Rated Blitz. I know that’s not a fun endeavor, but it gets the job done stupid fast. I feel like I win a lot more matches too.

Double conquest rewards and cut price of every slot to 500CP
Gearing up is not what PvP is about, it’s about the game, the fight
This tedious grind is no fun

Three words to fix most of your concerns.
War Crate Raid.
An afternoon will provide enough conquest to buy 4 pieces of gear, a day and your conquest capped from 0 to a full set. If you do NOT like to war crate farm, just do it anyway. The gear is basically free this way and you can get back to pvping with all your new shinning armor after.

However. When they took away the vault for PVP they promised the rewards would even it out, this has not been the case.

I’m not so sure. The crate farm has trivialized gearing because getting BIS gear doesn’t require effort or skill. You just get the currency to buy or make what you want. Crate farming even counts towards the free weapons at 2500 conquest earned, a bit of rating gets you a free catalyst charge, you dont need to farm honor to upgrade pvp gear, free conquest item level crafting materials for 2 or 3 pieces from your first rated win.

True. I did not crate farm last expansion. I don’t crate farm now, that’s a choice I know but I believed that conquest was going to be increased to make up for it just doing bgs etc. It was never made clear what they were going to do to even it out.
First wins of the day and pvp quests, and a smige of rated wins can cap someone in 3 hours if they capped the week before. Crate farming is far from mandatory, but if you can’t get wins because when you’re online the queue syncers seem to be, crate farming gets your gear for you fast.

First wins of the day last expansion also gave you good conquest last expansion. They needed to up that a bit to make up for the vault disappearing.
I’m not worried about it, but if you say you’re going to do something make it clear what was done so players understand, as far as I can see conquest from bgs has remained the same.
I do look for crates don’t get me wrong, and how long before they nerf the crate because of the raid farming?? Watch this space…

I’m all for more conquest total(higher weekly caps) faster earning conquest (although it is hard to complain about a couple hours or less weekly crate farming), or just uncapping conquest day one. If they did uncap conquest straight away, min-maxers would be in crate farming groups for a day or two and regular folks could just enjoy some bgs.

It’s Blizz just not communicating re pvp that is frustrating. Nothing new there I guess lol

Vault sucked for gearing though because of rng. You could end up with pieces for slots that are already filled, or pieces with secondary stats you don’t want.
The only positive I drew from it was the fact that you could chose tokens instead of gear, which could be redeemed for gold or something else.

I get that… I don’t hate the crate farming, but there needs to be an alternative that provides as much Conquest-per-hour in exchange for actual PvP effort.
