This could be true, but the thing is all those problems are already happening with the current system even more.
I would definitely like to see some kind of arena, or RBG system but I don’t think the blizzard devs have the resources to create it. What I proposed would be a good system because it still requires a lot of time (minimum 3 months at 20 hours a day of /played) to get full epic gear, it just is gonna be spread out.
Again… botting is already happening hardcore because that is what the current system rewards anyway. If you do not want botting to happen, then they could make AV give really low honor and WSG and AB give high honor.
