the “phylosofy” behind de system:
was far better than today’s “wod like” system.
how worked in details:
It’s time for elitist PvE devs to get back to their worries about raids / m +, put PvP back to the way it was in WoD instead of fooling us and leaving PvP alone. Stop ruining PvP fun.
Hey all, I’m sure you’ve all seen/heard about the new changes slated to be implemented in 9.1 for gearing, whether they be positive or not. Stoopzz just released a good video on this as well, but I wanted to make a forum post because this NEEDS to change.
In 9.1 the plan is to reintroduce the gearing system where gear scales to a higher item level in PvP combat, a change most likely aimed at addressing concerns among PvE players that PvP was required or nearly required, especially at the highes…
This was basically what we had in TBC, WLK, Cata, MoP, and WoD. Even the casuals can earn a full set of Conquest gear by doing their weekly yolo. Casuals just earned the set slower than highly ranked players. Very few PvPers ever felt the need to buy carries.
The current Shadowlands system ties ilevel to ranking, basically encouraging players to buy carries. It’s the cause of a lot of problems.
Why they keep making it worse and worse when all we’re asking is wod style gearing, 2 sets with 10ilvl difference thats scaled up in pvp.
And more conquest won per game, atleast 200 for a win.
Took me 200 games and 4 weekly pvp quests and numerous daily bg/skirmish/brawl wins just to still be at 3200/4300 cap…
Like jesus, come on.
I suspect the reason is financial. Its a continuous grind, and keeps you playing which equals more sub time. The answer is to unsub and not play. They worship money, not good game desgn so the way to speak their language is to not give them money. Though with their incompetence, even when they try to figure out why they’re losing money, they’ll probably assume it has something to do with PVE.
I just read the news on wowhead and i’m without words. It must be some kind of day dream when Ion is starting to actually fix broken sistems.
The news for those who want to read it
I guess I could dig up some anti-WoD pvp posts if I looked hard enough, because nobody will ever universally agree on what makes a WoW system “good”, but the arena forum doesn’t give me the impression that it was hated by the majority.
