Templates pls

I honestly thought templates were fine.

People complained about them mostly because they had no way to customize their stats. Adding a mechanic to partially reallocate your template stats would have been the ticket.

((WPvP was a PvE-fest in Legion though.))

What I don’t get about that complaint is that 99% of players will just look at what top level players are running and run the EXACT SAME THING. It’s absolutely no different than adding PvP vendors back in. Everybody will run with the exact same gear because that’s the most optimal set-up.

Or do people not remember yelling at each other for buying the wrong piece of gear? Because that (and the grind) is the only difference between templates and what you get when you add vendors.

Yea but if they bring back Templates there is no point in playing this game. So that isn’t a solution to the vendor/gearing situation. Templates are the ultimate deal breaker and means uninstall.

They just aren’t needed no matter what!!! It is far easier to just go back to what worked in times of great PvP in the early expansions.

You have to realize that templates will make so many people unsub so that isn’t a solution. They are horrible and they were removed because they are horrible for this game. Now this scaling adventure needs to also be removed. Just go back to the way it was where everything was transparent and fun.

What you said about those “elite” weapons really is VERY true, and pi*#es me off… A lot. I remember that. There should only be cosmetic uniqueness. Just like how it’s perfectly fine to obtain something such as one of those horrible looking weapon enchantments. How are they going to make people who obtain high rating, have an even HIGHER chance than ever to STAY stuck there with a dps advantage…?

play pvp earn currency, spend currency on low rank level pvp gear
continue to play pvp rank up to a higher level spend currency on a higher level gear

simple system i think it could work.

That is what makes a great RPG game. Better players get better gear and YEET harder. That is literally how it is supposed to be and it creates this competitiveness and incentive to get better at the game and attain that gear as well.

No. You’re literally stupid.

pretty sure abomb just a forum troll his character naked and doesn’t even have rival achieve id just ignore him tbh

The Abomb would never troll because that isn’t how you fight The Good Fight.

Well yea The Abomb came to a point where it was best to vendor his gear. Time to move on and pick up another shield as Pally.

That is weird, not that I care about rating but definitely been down that road. It isn’t hard to get 2k+

Templates are awful and didn’t Legion arena have one of the lowest participation rates in wow because of templates.

Better then bfa atleast

  1. No, not because of templates
  2. Can’t be any lower than this

I’d still say WOD was peak boring Arena gameplay. Legion was a step up from that.

Legion was a breath of fresh air for a lot of people compared to how stale WoD was. WoD was awful. As bad as BFA, but for different reasons.

A lot of people played Legion PvP simply because of the ease of entry. Much easier to jump in and play.

Legion also had cool glad mounts. Bfa and wod is beyond bad looking mounts they not even good looking they look like rats from a basement that finally saw the light of dawn.

Gee if only they had a way to like I don’t know disable OP and fun items in competitive arena. Maybe a system like legendaries…

They need to allow for both the fun , excitment and overall awesomeness of blowing people up in random bgs and wpvp while catering to a skillfull and competitive arena experience.

You’re right, Warkhry. Random battlegrounds are where you should be able to play around with whatever because they’re an unrated, casual environment. People will not take rated, supposedly competitive content seriously (or enjoy it) if it’s a complete unbalanced mess.

Or do people not remember laughing at people who got gladiator titles during a season when their class was utterly overpowered and unstoppable and then could barely scrape past 1800-2000 the next season post-nerf? Because that’s what happened to Warriors in Cata and Hunters in MoP.

WoD was waaaaay better PvP than Legion. I would have to give Legion worst PvP expac just on Templates alone. There was really nothing good about Legion, where BFA scaling isn’t great but a step up from that as you can at least enchant, gem and play how you want. Just BFA gearing is brutal but when you get gear PvP is fun.

one of the biggest +s to legion was season length

most seasons were like 12-14 weeks which meant the ladder hardly ever got stale
people had to q much more frequently
with these 25-30 week seasons most people q week 1-2 for 2100/2400 boxes
then 1 game a week if any until week 23 or 28

the only people actively qing between then are only doing it for either stream content or the ones that main one of the 3 disgustingly overbearing specs playing under the delusion that they’re improving

ive done dozens of +15s for weeks on top of clearing bosses i need from the raid multiple times

im still missing over 20% versatility

interesting how im unable to get the vers when I clearly do everything im supposed to do with the exception of selling my kidneys and car to buy boe items in this stupid pay to win game

Cmon Kamron, you’re obviously lying because gearing totally isn’t RNG at all and it’s really easy and only takes a week or two of effort! :clown_face:
