Why are off pieces so much more expensive?

I don’t remember off pieces being the expensive pieces back in cata… or ever really. It’s always been the main pieces that cost the most.

Did I miss something?

To clarify, I’m speaking about pvp gear

It’s a bug. One of many it seems.

Resilience doesn’t work, price on gear is too high, bonus honor from doing bgs isnt granted.

You can’t farm honor, cant buy gear and u get one shot for trying.

It’s ok Kaivix came on here and said they fixed it all don’t worry

Are they really going to fix it though? I don’t really want to farm out a ton of honor for gear if the prices are wrong and I’m overpaying

Price on gear is how it should be. It’s not bug

Now we just wait for a resil bug fix (supposedly happening on Tuesday).

Offpieces being more expensive than a weapon is definitely a bug.

They probably just forgot to adjust the off pieces when they did the same for the main ones. Honestly, I probably would too, what with them being on an entirely different vendor in a completely different area…

The full BGs of boosted noobs in ungemmed Wrathful gear says otherwise.

I’ ve seen people farm for days non-stop to buy a few pieces, just because it’s possible with unhealthy amounts of time investment doesn’t mean it is proper.

Not sure why this is even being discussed tbh.

It costs 201 honor points for Wrathful gloves. That’s 1.5 battlegrounds. It’s 848 honor for a 277 Wrathful weapon. That’s like 6 battlegrounds. You can do that in less than 2 hours.

Yeah idk why this is being discussed when the stuff is cheap as dirt and requires minimal time investment.

They heavily nerfed the cost of everything Wrathful by about 1/3 of what it was. If I would have waited I could have gotten basically all Wrathful for what I got for a 1h mace.

But you never know if Blizzard is going to fix this stuff or not.

Not sure why you keep twisting what i said, offpieces =/= gloves, if an offpieces costs 400-500 that’s double what gloves cost.

It seems to me that your angle is based around encouraging longer grinds to validate the worth of your already acquired gear.

You remind me of that meme about the anti- nuclear power lobbists siding with the green eco group against the coal lobby.

My point being that we’re both asking for the same thing you’re just too ignorant to see it.

Prepatch gearing has always been significantly cheaper than regular season gearing, by advocating some weird form of elitism you indirectly alienate the casuals who are attempting to get into cata, by creating barriers here you end up pushing said casuals away from pvp or the game which leads to less participation in pvp and less prestige from acquiring the gear you’re proud of.

You can only have elitism if there are casuals playing the game, it’s a pyramid and if you shave off the bottom , well guess what, you lower your own standards as a result.

Maybe you should go back and read what you said. You’re crying about the entire grind, not just the disparity in offpiece price.

:clown_face:

I’ve seen hundreds of casuals who returned to the game and grinded up a full honor set because it’s an extremely casual grind now. Stop crying and play the game or quit, no one cares.

You sure ? I did two bgs and I barely got 150 …I thought honor gain was bugged ?

I get 130 per EoTS win. Takes like 10-15 minutes depending on how the game goes.

The belt and boots were 2180 before the nerf, I bought everything pre-nerf :sob:

Now they’re 720? Yeah life is hard.
