Pvp is a sideshow. It has been now for several expansions. Nothing is going to change that. Think of pvp in the same context you would think of pet battles.
lumping pvp with pet battles is just wrong and makes completely no sense

Agree with the added bonus of you have some secondary stats you can allocate. But every DK Frost has the same strength and stamina but I get to choose my secondaries.
However most mmon PvP people don’t want an even field they want to roflstomp newbs.
I’m comparing PvP to pet battles because they’ve both largely been ignored by devs for several expansions now. That’s what I mean when I say “sideshow”…and don’t get your hopes up that this will change.
Then this would be SFV and you’d have scrubs crying why Rashid is always so good while an Alex is always garbage.
…I suppose the point is players will always find something to gripe about: be it gear or class imbalances in WoW.

It’s not actually vendors though. It’s some weird buggerdized version of it that I’m pretty sure they’re gonna mess up. They said this expansion was gonna be better, we all saw how that went down 
Yes please 
You can encourage this by making the content enjoyable? Instead of forcing it on people by hiding bis stuff behind the other ones content. I don’t think people doing what they don’t want to to have bis in what they do is healthy. I don’t think bfa did particularly well in the sub department is a prime example of that.
Once again encourage people to try new content by making it fun and engaging.

Only PvP gets exclusive armour and mounts, bribery to try and get bodies into it.
You can go earn a mythic armor set anytime but heaven forbid you get a seasonal set from a past expansion.
JESUS CHRIST the noob talk here is ridiculous.
PVP GEAR SHOULD BE STRONGEST VS PLAYERS… YES!
PVE GEAR SHOULD BE STRONGEST VS AI… YES!
SIMPLE TRUE AND A FAIR STATEMENT…
AS FOR COUNTER THE DEVS…?! DEVS ARE CODERS NOT GAMERS… GAMERS KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND DEVS TAKE THEIR SUGGESTIONS…
PVE STRONGER THAN DOING ONLY ONE THING??
OMG… PVE IS ONE THING… PVP IS ONE THING. BOTH ARE FOCUSED ON ONE ASPECT THAT ARGUMENT IS FAIL.
IF SOMEONE HAS THE OPINION PVP GEAR EARNED BY PUTTING IN TIME AND EFFORT IN PVP ASPECTS OF THE GAME SHOULD GIVE THEM ADVANTAGE OVER THOSE WHO DONT THEY ARE PERFECTLY CORRECT IN SAYING SO.
SOMEONE IN PVP GEAR IN A PVE RAID UNDEPERFORMS AND A PVE GEARED PLAYER IN A BATTLEGROUND SHOULD EQUALLY UNDEPERFORM…
THIS IDEA WAS TO GET PVE FOCUSED PLAYERS JOINING BGS TO GET GEAR INSTEAD OF THEM FOCUSING ONLY ONE THING PVE… AND TO GET PEOPLE JOINING PVE RAIDS TO GET PVE GEAR INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ONE THING…
IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH ANYTHING I SAID… IT IS ONLY YOUR OPINION AND YOUR OPINION IS YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE… IT DOES NOT MAKE ME WRONG OR ANYONE ELSE WRONG ITS WHAT WE PREFER… AND DEVS HAVE NO CLUE WITHOUT LISTENING TO PLAYERS.

I was there. We always end up stacking a stack. And this makes pvp gear bad for trying to get into pve. Mind you I don’t do rated stuff but I guess I speak from a casual perspective. Since I enjoyed battlegrounds the most in this game. Legion for me was pretty good. You didn’t have to worry about gear, just the builds and ilvl.
And I honestly didn’t like grinding through the meatgrind until you become decent. All pvp is who gets geared early prospers and it makes it harder for people that come in late to prosper.
Gee, I never realized I had been playing a moba all this time.

I have to agree here, its really ridiculous that some of my bis azerite gear is pvp only. Blizz is trying to force me to pvp for my pve enjoyment. This is a slap in the face we the customers demand answers!

Even if they return a vendor for PvP nothing is going to change unless they implement scaling on gear like in WoD or utilize a PvP specific stat (resilience/pvp power).
The problem is the M+ crowd can get gear faster, and get gear funneled to them. Once again the PvE tryhards are going to be the king of the hill in all aspects of the game.
Not to mention having a conquest currency vendor is all well and good, but without a starter set for honor currency then PvE is going to be the prerequisite for PvP…again.

Ya, the Shadowlands vendors are going to be a bastardized version of what they should be. Which is MoP/WoD vendors. I agree with the above that PvE gear is still going to be idiotic in PvP and once again, PvPer’s will be SOL. Bring back the WoD scaling system, add a PvP trinket 2-set bonus again that reduces/increases damage against players.
Pretty wild seeing Timmyx the mythic raider rogue with his Drest/+15 Bike trinket gibbing someone in the opener with his “fun” corruption on top of that. Get out, lmao. Seems like the only people defending the system are the monkeys abusing it.

Well I doubt they’re going to allow you grind-free pvp ever in this particular game. As you know even Legion with their horrible templates still wanted you to grind out iLvl, which gave us the problem of
- Legion iLvl scaling
- Still favored PvE players with their access to higher iLvl content
As opposed to the system we had previously, where most rated players got maybe 500 more conquest per week than casuals, ie one more piece of gear every few weeks, so rated players never had more than a few iLvl on anyone else, which at that point only mattered at the cutting edge of the competitive ladder.
So, I think you’re doing injustice to the PvP power era. By your own standards it did a better job of providing the things you want out of PvP. I think perhaps you were just a different player at the time.
Yeah we need two different sets of gear and tuning. They are different game modes and should not be crossed over. I have 2.3k arena xp and AoTC raid xp with some mythic progression and it is a joke to Aquire a great set of PVE gear vs getting anything relevant from PvP. You need like 2k+ to get rng heroic raid ilvl loot. There is no comparison. Gearing through PvE is easy mode and then on top of that you get all the broken trinkets etc. The fact of the matter is, blizzard does not care about PvP vs PvE so we will always get screwed. I think its time for everyone who loves PvP to move on to other things, I know my last straw will be a few months into Shadowlands. If PvP remains a joke i will be done giving them my money.
Instead of a specific pvp power, they could make PVP items have unique set bonuses, like back in WoD… Because even if pvp gear have a power level equal to pve gear, it would be an incentive to go into pvp actually wearing the relevant items.
