If people really claim it’s for prestige, then gear should not matter. Heroic gear should be sufficient.
There’s not reason to create power gaps so high between the player base, especially allowing people who dedicate 40 hours to raiding to faceroll those who spend 40 hours in Arena.
Game is not a job anyways. Cosmetic and Mounts from limited time similar to AoTC mounts should be sufficient, on top of their name in the Hall of Fame.
You can never make the PvP’ers happy. In Legion gear didn’t matter at all in PvP and they complained that it wasn’t fun. Now gear matters and they are still complaining that it isn’t fun.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, they need to bring back resilience and pvp power, separate pvp and pve gear so you don’t have to do one form of content for the best gear to do the other.
You all wanted skill to be worth more than gear in PvP, which is what templates did in Legion. Then you all didn’t like it. Also vendors are coming back in SL
