So we got the buff to increase the amount of honor and conquest earned for PVP. We also got uncapped valor and conquest currencies, but why didn’t we get the Conquest Lockboxes or the Valor Lockboxes? It made gearing up alts quite a bit easier when we have an excess amount of valor / conquest.
I’m hopeful this returns either this week or next. Conquest is piling up and I need something to spend it on. The same for PVP saddles. 
I need to go back into PvP this season still. I’m not looking forward to the conquest grind.
It’s not as bad with the buff. I recommend jumping in during the weeks with the Comp Stomp brawl going on. You can get honor gear quickly and upgrade it. From there jumping into YOLO RBG groups is pretty easy.
Oh and since your 4pc tier set are the same stats regardless of if it’s from pvp or pve it’s very easy to transition.
Yeah, I really hate only played PvP this expansion but everyone I knew went PvE for tier and now I’m not sure how much I care at this point.
The tier thing screwed this season up imo.
the worst part about getting into pvp rn is having to do quests and torghast to get your leggos, renown and conduits, as those are not pvp lol.
but if you already have those you’re likely good to just jump right into rated and be geared in a few days.
on OP:
i never played when they had those boxes but i herd about them and im really excited for them to implement, sounds amazing for alts.
Yeah, I’ve done nothing but PvP until this season. Guess you didn’t read what I wrote.
yea was mostly just replying for readers who are thinking about getting into pvp.
conquest grind is the least daunting aspect rn imo 
I mean sorta. You can get all conduits from the vendor next to the flight master in Oribos, all leggo patterns from dungeons are 100% drop in normal, getting renown is quite easy… Really just doing Zereth fulfills pretty much everything. As with rep you can get even higher ilvl conduits and at honored you can buy soul ash and cinders.
I want my conquest boxes back so I don’t sit around with 9k conquest and nothing to do with it and alts that I could play but are so far behind in gear is its an extremely daunting task. Honor gear is horrid to grind through BGs when everyone has 70k hp and you zone in with 35k.
