There is hope for PVP gearing in 9.1.

Maybe see if this pans out and take a break until then.
Man I work 6 nights a week and can’t play in the evening on 5 of those days, so my only playtime is 5:30 am for an hour or so each day if that. It’s not possible to Q at that time because it’s just AUS players and it cranks my MS to like 350 lol. But I don’t want to arena with any disadvantage like gear, so I find myself spending like all my playtime just grinding honor and conquest and box for the week through random AUS rbgs at 5:30 am and might find a good hour or two of Qs on the weekend. It’s mostly my fault because of my scheduling but it does sort of suck having just enough time to keep a character or two barely up to speed.
