cap is 1.6k … weapon costs 1.75k
I thought after 20 years , blizzard will stop with this kind of shenanigans … were they cap stuff just to keep players paying for game time to get their stuff.
Cheap move by blizzarsd…srsly …very cheap

If it was uncapped, you’d just be here complaining that you can’t compete with people who play the game 24/7.

nvm you’re right blood tokens are a problem
You literally have a quest to get a free conquest weapon, we’ll get enough for after this reset.
By week two of the season, everyone should have their conquest weapon for free, from said quest.
Um no.
Because I would actually be able to grind gear. The conquest cap has always been ANTI casual.
Blizzard has this weird idea that your average casual plays 2 hours a week…but it’s just never been reality.
Agreed. Conquest caps are awful, they’ve been awful for a long time.
Timegatting in general in this game is absolutely awful.
Blizzard legit doesn’t let you play your game. It’s the most baffling thing ever. Weekly raid lockouts, currency caps, content not even being released.
It’s ridiculous. And they think all this timegatting benefits casuals??

Only problem with the Conquest Weapon is that it has zero embellishments. It’s a bland weapon. I crafted mine with embellishments. I’m just hoping I didn’t make a mistake doing so lol.

its extra funny now because it only takes 2 hours to cap 1600 conquest. so the cap only increasing by 600 this week is joke.

so you would rather have to go up against people who have had time to grind 20k conquest when you have only gotten 2.5k?
it exists litterally to keep everyone together and make it fair
Yea but multiply that by how many characters people are playing, I play at least six so that’s 3600 conquest per week. Oftentimes the people complaining only play one toon when this expansion is based around alts
ok so you’re playing 6 meaning you’re not casual by any means. so that 2hr multiplied by however many you’re playing doesn’t seem bad at all. if you’re playing them , you’re gaining conquest lol.
you did it week one , no? why cant you do it week 2?
My point was that if you’re complaining about not having anything to grind then start playing alts. Only one character is ez mode
i have alts, leveling more. all fully geared bc it took all of 30min to cap this week.
why would you think that? They have increased caps and gates over the years, so your expectations don’t match reality
Many wrongly assume that the timegating is about prolonging subscription time. But the truth is, that many of the gates applied to the game are all about catering, pacing and tuning the game around the esports progression. World First, MDI, Rated Arena.
If those things didn’t exist or were on a separate championship server, with gear templates even, where all players were equal for tournament play… we would have far less gates in WoW.
I’ve said this a thousand times and will continue to because it’s true, Blizzard designs, tunes and paces it’s game around esports.
God forbid some no lifer PvP Andy has an ilvl close to a top Mythic Raider week 2. We couldn’t have that, could we? No. Again, due to them catering the game to their top 5% esports/streamers, the other 95% suffer for it. Been that way for over a decade now.
Thanks Ion!

PVP should just have smart match making.
And PVP is so neglected in WoW I gawk at the idea that we need timegatting to protect noobs/casuals in PvP.

it has mmr in rated, but unrated is an open ballgame as it should be
nothing will stop someone from “stomping some noobs” if they really want to though
pvp should be a separate game mode, no gear, just stat template characters that aren’t at all affected by your external gear, like gw2 (outside of wvwvw)
time gating was what made me leave the game on shadowlands.
If they want us to keep paying, relase good content, not limit our gameplay.
You should absolutely be thankful that conquest is capped at the start of the season if you care about anyone that doesnt pvp as their main activity ingame. The complaints about having to face 639 ilvl mains on fresh 606/626 alts will be starting soon enough, so enjoy the few weeks of minimal gear disparity lol
We’re week 2 right now and anyone getting 80 now on alts is already having to face better geared players. I don’t envy lower skilled players on new alts who already have to compete with 2 piece tier, 2x embellishment, 3x crafted jewelry, 2-3 piece 636 epics and 3~ piece conquest 639 while catching up from zero in green honor gear. It’s a good thing they’re not having to fight against teams with weapons as well 
I guess I don’t understand time gating like this.
Well, I do understand, I get some people think it’s “fair” and don’t want other people getting ahead of them.
But if someone wants to no life the game and they get super far ahead isn’t that how things should work?
Spend more time on a hobby, get better at said hobby, real the rewards?
It’s no one else’s fault how little time YOU play the game.
