Requiring pvpers to pve was a bad idea

PVP Arenas

When will blizzard admit that forcing pvpers to raid for bis gear for pvp in a pvp themed expansion was a horrible idea?

Probably won’t ever admit it, but they did a good job of trolling the PvErs. Now they are raging about having to do PvP for their essence.

I mean they trolled me too. I don’t want to do a pvp expedition or w/e the fk to get the battleground essence that gives 25% crit.

still not understanding how this is any different from legion?

Yes there were templates but mythic raiders still had advantage over regular pvpers in arenas

Lmao, there was a thread crying about having to do ONE THING in pvp for a bis… I lol’d irl. I wish we just had to do ONE thing in pve. If that ONE THING was rp walking to the pvp Vendor I’d be a happy camper :rofl:

“8.2 will save BFA!”
Nope. Just made it worse for PvPers imo.

Barely anything at all

The ilvl stat increase was tiny. The big difference was artifact traits which you could farm doing anything

Wod ilvl scaling and gearing system > legion templates > bfa abomination

So much this…

Though ions recent video shows just how messed up their thinking still is.

I don’t want pvers to have to do pvp to be competitive just like pvpers don’t want to have to do pve to be competitive. There is something to be said for taking your gear into another form of content and having it not be super weak.

HOWEVER! In no world should people feel compelled to do a form of content they don’t enjoy for an advantage in the content they do. For either pve or PvP?! THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE BLIZZARD?!?!!??!

I don’t mind rewards/incentives being in the game for people from the other side to shoot for. Pvp weapons being so good is what first got me into arenas back in tbc, I didn’t get one until my 2nd season, but still it got me hooked. Making those rewards basically mandatory to be competitive in either is total garbage though. Like, ya weapons were better than average, but they were basically on par or a little worse than hyjal/bt weapons except glaives(going back to my example). Stuff like glaives gave a big advantage, but glaive rogues back then tended to be squishier too from wearing pve gear, so it just ended up being a faster game for both teams.

Idk, it just seems like something went really awry, and this whole expansion has been blizzard doubling and tripling down on fundamentally bad ideas

players: blizz we don’t really like pveing for PVP gear, this isn’t fun, pvp isn’t fun anymore the gear is broken

blizzard: ok I fixed it, we learned from this mistake and won’t do it again

2 weeks later

blizzard: but watch out

blizzard: because im gonna do it again

Yeah, but at least the Void Stone essence is earned through PvP. Because that’s what we all wanted, our own version of a horribly designed trinket :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

A million times this. I don’t even know if I plan on sticking around this patch due to more PvE to PvP garbage. Just go back to MoP/WoD gearing and call it a day. Also disable all those idiotic PvE effects in PvP for good, thanks.

at least it has a drawback

I mean, 1 thing in the right direction is that you cant use your essences while kicked. Thats one thing that made void stone so horrible. Getting outplayed by being cs’d, then just pressing void stone as an easy-out.

16

i hesitate to assume, but have you backchecked that with healers? we all remember wod demorealz showing us how to get locked out of using his trinket. chaos bolt could just be cheating you

blizz doesnt care about pvp its not important or they wouldnt screw all the pvpers so hard endlessly

Hit me baby one more time.
