Is the assumption here everyone else in a Bg but you is decked in full mythic gear stomping everyone?
There is no reason at all that they can’t signicantly lower the ilevel of pvp gear in pve while also giving it pvp power or something that would make it far and away BiS for pvp.
If herding cats is fun for you, then that fun can be its own reward.

It shouldn’t be happening at all. Pve gear shouldn’t be BiS in pvp at all. Barring things like legendary weapons etc
You can get by in all of these activities with just Heroic Raid gear btw (not sure about Torghast yet but if previous solo challenges are anything to go by, its will be valid for that as well).
Heroic Raid gear is available to anyone willing to put a modicum of efforts into the game.
This is irrelevant.
If the content requires a significant logistical challenge to obtain a reward that challenge can’t just be discarded when comparing it to something else because it must be overcome.
And it is significant, which is one of the reasons mythic+ is so popular. It’s easier to set up and get going.
Totally fair point.
I don’t find that aspect of the game particularly engaging or enjoyable, but if I want to seriously engage M+ or PvP I’d be forced to also take part in this team building.
That’s just the truth, and has been now for about 4 years with regard to M+ and much longer in the case of PvP.
In shadowlands that’s only going to be more pronounced and that seems like a statement from the devs that they really have no intention of making viable alternatives to Mythic raiding in the game.
For the record, I’ve never expected to be among the best…not even second best. Every single multiplayer game out there, and I’ve played thousands, have top tier players who reap the best rewards.
My issue has to do with their arrogance. It’s unavoidable. It permeates all layers. It’s playground thuggery all over again just in a game. They cannot be satisfied by rubbing it in everyone’s faces.
They want casuals to leave and go play Skyrim it seems.
I’ve advocated in the past for a progression/competitive server filled with high raider.ios and invitation only so they can hang only with their peers.
Leave us casuals out. I’m here to have fun. Make the servers have like LFR as the highest form of content and the best gear. No transfers.
Join a progressive server, do trials or whatever to prove your worth…raid mythics ad nauseam. Probably a lot less lag.
The problem with just “getting by” is that this content is designed to be repetitive. I don’t want every +15 to be a skin of the teeth challenge when I’m just hopping onto a healer to help a friend get their dungeons for the weekly chest over with.
I don’t want to be struggling with content that won’t increase my ilvl to a degree where I can watch anime on the other monitor while doing, unless its a once and done deal like an achievement.
I don’t see how SL is significantly changing from what we have now?
Loot is getting reduced across the board not just mythic+.
I can promise you no “elitists” get angry at Ralph, he is quite literally the butt of every joke in all the class discords. He just blocks anyone on discord on the forums who disagrees with him.
His threads a literal echo chambers because he’s blocked anyone with dissenting opinions. He is a constant source of laughs for anyone who raids mythic.
Nobody gets mad at ralph, he’s a clown.

Yeah look I think most reasonable people would agree that pvp gear should exist and it should be the best gear for pvp
What ralph should be advocating for is a narrower gap inbetween gear levels so we don’t scale so far out of control and the gap between the haves and the have nots is too wide
What ralph doesn’t realise is that a huge portion of the power players have doesn’t even come from gear, it comes from invested time
If he wants the game to be better for casuals you’d need to address scaling and you’d need to address external power systems that are a long term grind
We leave and the game goes f2p. Then what happens? They’ll be nickel and dimed for every new raid and dungeon and anything else. They’ll have to pay out cash literally every time new content drops. But better to cry about muh raiding integrity and try to get lfr removed. Because why have content that all the people who pay to play the game to do when they could just make content for people who raid log and then unsub until the next tier when they’ve reached their gear goals for the patch?
No, Skillmourne was garbage. and pissed me off to no end when i tried to climb towards the end of wrath. Having one of those on your team was literally an ezmode 1800+
Did he put in work for it? sure he did. But that doesnt really justify meta warping crap like that where it literally chokes out every other comp that doesnt have a weilder of the legendary.
I dont mind there being legendary items in the game but i really think that the ultra broken bonus effects should not be active in ranked pvp. Want them to keep their weapon damage/spell power/stats? sure go nuts. They are better than any other weapon just by raw stats alone. Want them in addition to that to give you a proc where you can ramp up to 300 extra main stat that eventually procs an aoe damage explosion for around 2k and gives a 270 main stat buff? Go suck eggs

Ok well I don’t care about anyone on GD enough to talk about them behind their back on Discord. Meanwhile Ralph is living rent free in your head.
The only thing living in someones head rent free is the idea that mythic try hard raiders are using Ralphs money to fund our raiding experience.
Thanks again for the content suckas.

You guys are elite players not elitists. Elitists are the last month AOTC players that think they’re like you guys so they try to police how everyone else plays the game. They’re not actually any better than casuals. I am not insulting elite players. You guys make all the guides that help the rest of us get through content. Sorry if I wasn’t more clear
OP you have all mythic level raid gear from your weekly M+ chest. So what is really the problem? They still offer a weekly M+ chest and you do not have to raid to get it.
These people barely exist because everyone hates them
These people have been a dying breed for a long time
The weekly m+ chest will gear up the average player who does 1 key a week way faster than the current chest.
Ralph hasn’t played beta so he has literally no idea what he is talking about.
