Why are pvp rewards 100% based on a win?

yes, i get it winners take the spoils BUT why do the rest get NOTHING. if someones coming in late xpack like now they are going to have a low gearscore so they are getting next to no honor as well as almost always losing hoping to get a group to carry them (being useless is no fun btw). as the ones with higher gearscores are 2shoting the lower ones are racking in the honor. isn’t this counter productive? most will just leave as they can not upgrade gear.

there should be a mode for fair pvp where real skill matters and not gear<=>skill but we know the toxic players always fight this idea but can’t queing for pvp net you X honor with a x2 for winning and if have a low ilevel maybe give them a lootbox with an upgrade win or lose. what do you think?

Can’t tell if troll post or not since you’re posting on a twink lvl 20 hunter, the most disgustingly OP thing to ever exist in this game ever. Someone help me out here.

The alternative is people queue up, then just go AFK for the free reward.

i recently subbed to send enchants and other things to my 20’s so i tryed out how end game was. god my sub can’t end fast enough!

Yes the gear gap is actually larger at lvl 60 than it is at lvl 20. lvl 60 is currently more toxic than 10-59. Pretty funny how the tables have turned.

Still lots of lvl 60’s in denial though.

it’s not even just the gear. i have not done shadowlands so have no covenant abilites. it’s still better than bfa where a rng proc was 90% of ones damage. yes i’m very happy at 20 not paying for the crap that is wow pvp.

though my post is about why losing can not get rewards? the geared players are rolling in honor but the people who need it get next to nothing. after a nice match of facerolling you get no real benefit from your efforts so i don’t see why queing pvp should not net something win or lose.

Think it’s a anti botting / afk scripting thing. Removing the incentive for non-participation. If you’re rewarded for losing the bots and afkers (circumventing the deserter debuff) come out in force.

Because if people get rewards by losing you end up making sure a lot of people just afk as much as they can.

The bg potions you got from them were nice. The trivial invisibility pots are sleeper OP, esp as healer since it gets you out of combat to drink.

well from level 10-59 players are rewarded experience from losing bgs it makes sense the same complacent people want free stuff for losing at 60.
you made your bed now get gy camped in it.

And you get honor, a ton if compared to low level bgs, by losing at 60 so you comparasion failed.

50% of all teams lose. Even good players have losing streaks. Low-skilled players have more. The issue is, do we want to give zero reward to people who lose so the lower 50% will end up quitting? To maintain a valid player population, losers need to have reason to continue playing. If not, they quit.

And then do we want to repeat, continually giving the bottom 50% less reason to play? There will always be 50% losers.

If you feel that people who fall further behind the more they play should continue to subscribe, why would you think that should be the case?

it would also get people to not quit a losing fight becasue they actually get something when it’s over but “participation trophy” yar yar yar. the fights are not even skill based so this argument is not valid.

Comment posted by a level 20 toon that hasn’t done jack squat.

This is partly why subscription counts have lowered. I don’t bother playing anymore either. I hate merc mode it makes it harder to find the good dominant faction and just at least get some wins that way. You just end up getting farmed by premades that are your own faction turned traitor for a slightly faster queue.

yes, attack the person because you can’t attack the point. if you had a real counter you would use it but nope you point out how bad a player i am. good job you win all the internets!

id like an honor point system

similar to what we have now, but u actually get to BUY STUFF with honor

mogs
mounts
titles
mogs
skin colors
etc etc

would be so fun
