I can see how you’d only think I make the argument for you if you only read what you wanted to instead of what I said. Which was…
Also way to completely miss why WoD was bad. You act as if just because Legion was better received that you shouldn’t even look at the positives and negatives and act on them. Instead you’re suggesting “Lul. Legion was better received. Lets do the same thing and it should be gr8 right?”
Well egg on your face cause both BFA and SL are complete dumpster fires. And again your argument is debunked because if Legion WAS so great, PvPers wouldn’t have been pointing to the WoD system of gearing as superior. Nor would Blizzard have brought back the vendor at all.
^100% this. People crying about not having access to their BIS 4pc tier sets 3 weeks into a patch and can’t faceroll the raid bosses need to look at themselves rather than asking for raid nerfs.
You’ve supplied nothing that supports that the general pop loved Legion PvP other than “trust me bro”. It’s not uncommon knowledge that people preferred WoD PvP. It’s not on me that you’re out of touch when it comes to the PvP community.
Hell even Venruki was making complaints about PvP in Legion and he casted for the AWC. This isn’t coming out of the blue.
the forums were full of crying all throughout legion and arena people were saying it had the lowest participation of any season. arena forumites even left the arena forums to come to GD to plea for casuals to come pvp with them. (then bfa happened. lol) something to do with the ladder being messed up by lack of people. i don’t know much about arena but i do remember the constant tears.
tier isn’t the problem. its the insistence that loot be up to RNG of RNG rolling on RNG if you have good RNG at the right time of day while balancing an egg on you head.
the creation Catalyst is some what of half band aid half good design to a problem that wouldn’t really exist if there was a vendor like in panda land. and a guaranteed currency like other games.
is it good game design to create mechanics that can’t be played with for months after its released? or if you drop half of gold cap (per person) to rig the system into getting a 4 set in ~1-8 days of release?
this issue existed even without tier. game doesn’t drop your weapon or game gives you the same exact belt or hands or what have you several weeks in a row. how does rng of a rolling 80ish sided die land on the same exact number that many times?
only conclusion is its not rng but patterns within patterns. its following a specific script to determine the roll. like lighting striking the same place twice, there is a reason it is more likely to strike there. the path of least resistance.
this must have been what the Jailer saw. the flawed reality that he sought to undo. maybe he was right and we foolishly went to stop him for something like 49g and like 9 stacks of anima
pvers who argue against better gearing for pvp always make me suspicious they want to so drastically out gear the people in random bgs that it’s a pug stomp. pve and pvp should have entirely different gearing. you should be like you’re in greens if you take raid gear into a bg imo. pvp power. resilience. pvp gear being way higher ilevel in pvp combat. pick one.
