Whats with the massive gear gap in BGs?

PVP Battlegrounds

At this point, as long as PVErs are giving the advantage in PVP, then I see no reason to continue to PVP. It will always be unbalanced.

Without a GEAR template, PVP is a joke.

I find that as long as I stay capped on Conquest, it’s competitive enough. Doing Call to Arms earlier, we wiped a Horde raid 5v8 twice, though they did get us the third time.

They just need to make random battlegrounds better for Conquest, as mentioned earlier in this thread, so it isn’t a part time job to maintain gearing.

Agreed. But I think that putting a cap on ilvl in rated and random BGs would make PVP more fair without bothering PVErs and give PVPers a better chance at earning PVP gear without needing to PVE.

agree ilvl cap would be perfect, if they aren’t going to scale up pvp gear to be BIS

Right. That is my point exactly. No need for a template to try to scale the gear you are wearing (which is how people in greens were able to abuse it). Just set EVERYONE’S GEAR/WEAPONS to the same level in Rated and Random BGs and Arenas.

Problem solved.
PVE’ers won’t own pure PVP’ers in rated and non rated BGs and world PVP.
PVE’ers can continue to go do raids and dungeons for their gear.
No need for PVP vendors.
All matches will rely on SKILL not gear to win, which requires coordination.

Why Blizzard hasn’t done this already is beyond belief, other than they hate PVP (and has said as much).
