This is why gear capping is bad. If some hardcore sweaty dudes can get huge advantage for a week before everyone else by having the time to farm pve and pvp for tier set they should remove gatekeeping altogether so everyone has an even chance to get max gear.
Imagine fighting people without 4 set when you yourself have the 4 set. Insane advantage and that is bad for the game.
My brother in christ, this is by-and-large not even a real problem for an extremely brief period that will not inconvenience anyone in the long run.
Yes, some people are using pve gear for a brief advantage that will set them behind longer term and then up equalizing to be a non-issue. Same with people who crafted weapon week 1.
4 set for a lot of classes seems like almost a wash relative to having to take suboptimal secondaries, I don’t think not having your 4 set this week is going to have a meaningful impact on being able to gain rating or not
How was I supposed to know ? I’m very casual now and I’m not playing ptr / beta to know ahead of time, I expect blizzard to inform me within the game itself.
I wasn’t aware that I was gonna be given a free weapon when reaching 2500 conquest nor that you could get tier set in Pve to work in pvp. This seems like the opposite of BFA / shadowlands now, where you have to pve to pvp. I prefer by far having to pvp to pve.
This is not even told in any way shape or form within the game. How do they expect noob and other casuals like me to know these things ???
You played last season. The conquest weapon was identical to this seasons. Your inability to do anything other than drool on your keyboard isn’t the fault of anyone else but you.
Also the PvE set piece to work in PvP is right there on the front page of the conquest vendor.
