I’ll try to find it for you.

Hmmm . . . Might have to eat my own word. Looked at Legion timespan and it isn’t in a quarterly report. Have I created a fact from a combo of some random tweet or interview and the release of a quarterly report? I don’t know now. 
All good thanks for checking at least. Sometimes stuff gets repeated so much you believe it, or maybe it came from some other reputable source. I know players always use the “PvP is a sidegame” argument and I even believed it til someone posted a tweet from Holinka where he said just as many players PvP as raid.
It is the only way to make the game fair to some extent. Bring the player not the gear. Anyone who is against templates, is probably a booster or buying boosts. Think about it…Tournament gear is all the same ILVL

Something has to be done regardless. The gear gap is too large, and many people saw this coming early on. MoP/WoD gearing needs to come back with no rating reqs on gear, that or templates with a way to allocate your secondaries. Would prefer MoP/WoD gearing though.

Boosters are rampant right now. Its disappointing what bliz has let this game become. All you have to do is look at starlight. And im not one to post screen shots, but many of those are pay real money. They are back in LFG also advertising again. Must message them on discord lol.
One of the biggest downsides to templates is it completely guts world PvP.
Legion straight up ruined world PvP for me, and world PvP was one of the only reasons I played late game WoD.
I don’t see what was wrong with WoD’s gearing system. Can’t we just have that back?

Warmode got rid of world pvp, so templates have zero effect. They could also only turn on templates in instanced PVP. Bgs Rbgs, Arena. Skirms
People still bought boosts, there were just less of them. The issue with boosting could be solved with a PvE solution anyways.
Yep. Templates killed participation. Nearly everyone I PvP’ed with in MoP and WoD quit in Legion. Templates were under tuned and the play was slow.
Carries are not the reason your level 41 bud
Why do you care you are a lvl 41 shamen should get 60 first
They need to do something. For sure
It’s amazing how much fun the 50-59 bg bracket is and then you get to 60 and the game becomes garbage unless you farm/buy 220+ gear.
If blizzard wants remotely fair pvp they will do it (they don’t). A pvp stat gear system allows them to choose the disparity between high and low end while ensuring the gear is all better than pve gear in pvp.
No need to tell me that blizzard wants gear to be gear since they literally just made that concept up to justify making sure undergeared players get destroyed and get on the gear treadmill.
In Legion they didn’t turn on templates when engaged in world pvp but they easily could have them activate when you are actively engaged in pvp just like they did with WoD gear scaling. It’s not that templates ruined it, but more so the devs chose to by not having them work for Wpvp.
I just don’t see the reason for anyone to have push back for equal ilvl in PvP though. Is it really fun for you (not you specifically but “you” as in the general population) to kill some new alt someone is playing with a tap of your pinky? Do you really enjoy grinding conquest out on characters that are severely handicapped? Who is this really benefitting? As far as I can tell only Blizzard is reaping the rewards with gear mattering in pvp.

And people like Abomb who like gibbing lower geared players because they’re morons.
NO to templates.
WoD PvP gear did the same thing without all the drawbacks of templates.
WoD PvP gearing is the answer here.

If you have PVP Resilience gear, and the other person has PVP Resilience gear 30 ilvls higher than you, you have accomplished nothing.

That just not true the biggest thing with templates is you could play your alts almost instantly which was amazing. Wod you still had to win like 187 wins to get full conquest gear which is about half of what you need now.

You will die slower since resilience doesn’t buff damage, just reduce it. Our pvp stat only increases offense, exaggerating the gap between ilvls since every point of str/int/agi is magnified by the +40% verse trinket set bonus

You will die the same, since the other person still has 30 ilvls of gear on you.
And Versatility increases defense, if you’re advocating for a pvp defense stat and the removal of an offense stat you’re still gonna get destroyed, everyone’s numbers will be lower overall, not balanced, lowered. With the other person still being 30 ilvls above you.
