i literally cba to log in and try to keep up with the people who had more time than me when conq got uncapped. felt super pressured by myself and teammates to get gear asap, and just didn’t feel it.
@blizz, next time you uncap conquest, just do it once max gear has been obtainable by people who’ve weekly capped
In addition to uncapping conq, they didn’t release the conquest boxes. Whomever at blizzard that is in charge of PVP is doing a terrible job
Nah but everyone was asking for it haha. People only realized it was a bad thing after it was already released. This is why blizzard doesn’t listen to the vast majority of people complaining about things all the time. If they didn’t uncap it there would probably be even more posts begging for them to uncap it. There is no winning. Whether you think it was right or wrong to uncap it, it isn’t the reason for this season being dead.
it was only the very competitive people(2%) that really wanted it. i agree with Wesker. why not the boxes and weeks after still no boxes. you can see they really gave up on PvP this season. probably never be as good as it was in MoP
didnt play last season, and uncapping conq at least let me get tier set on a few chars without having to pve or wait a month for time gating
the best solution imo would have been to keep the cap and let players turn honor gear into tier (preferably for a greatly reduced flux cost)
those people could have waited till weekly cappers were fully geared and still been happy
this would have been cool. if time gate on tier was really the problem, this would have been a nice solution. on my alts without tier, the sandworn relic gear did the job just fine tho.

opening the flood gates to all the fotm classes being able to take a few days off work and get max gear, then losing half the playerbase to wotlk beta was a huge mistake imo
Man you took nothing out of that huh?
Also the reason for the season being dead has pretty much nothing to do with removing the cap. The reason #1 reason is the game is stagnant and not even blizzard seem to care about this season. This season feels exactly the same as last season which felt exactly the same as season 2. It gets boring after a while. Also as you mentioned the wrath prepatch just came out. People wrote this season out as a flop from week 1.
Conquest was uncapped because people were getting full geared from mythic+ and having a huge advantage over vault pvpers. If they didnt uncap it, the gap would have been even worse for the first few weeks.
Its a dead season regardless, expansion is over.
Uncap conq was a really bad idea they should’ve made the weekly cap like 2k, that way you didn’t feel pressured to farm the 8k conq or so on each character the week they uncapped it.
Uncapping it was fine. They just needed to release conquest boxes also at the same time
I would argue that is the un-equalized un-homogenized iLvL on gear that ruined the hole expansion, but I do get your point
I don’t think uncapping was the move early on. They should have disabled vault and increased conq cap the first couple of weeks until people have gotten nearly full conq gear and then removed the cap & brought back the vault for PvP.
That wouldn’t solve the issue with pvers getting way ahead.
I don’t play as much lately and fell way behind but it is what it is.
Just a grind. I don’t mind it.
This is a made up problem
pretty happy that DF will fix the pvp gearing struggles.
Nah. People had double weapons and were streamrolling first couple weeks.
It’s not even uncapped conq that matters
It’s just that the honor grind makes it unplayable and tiering too
Should have just removed the tiers for this season or something or just lowered honor costs significantly or really just anything to make it more accessible
Like getting full conquest really is doable in a day… but grinding honor is miserable for your upgrades
People is a tiny group defined terribly here because it was never numerous enough to matter, and every single SL season has had people who lucked into weapons from vault doing exactly the same thing. There was no epidemic of gladiator players in m+gear and uncapping cq to fix a problem that didn’t exist was dumb
But the uncapped conquest wasnt/isn’t the problem.
