How are people supposed to be motivated to play arenas if you have classes and combos that have a huge advantage over the others? For example: UDK, ele sham, boomkin, hpala…
Raising the arena cap to 10 k from 5 k? What’s the use of that? I can only wipe my a$$ with those arena points. You’re not even giving the discount to buy deadly gear before the season ends. I already and I bet a lot of others have already 75 k honor capped.
5k to 10k arena cap increase was added because thats how it was back in the day and makes sense with item prices close to the cap.
Arena points got a reset every season, so thats nothing to be surprised about. The discount wasnt present back in wotlk and is only good for those few, who were saving arena points, although they are still in need of gear. The discount has upsides and was used in classic tbc, but the current Blizzard team isnt known for consistency or logic.
Not everyone has many arena points to spare. Some classes like warrior can barely buy every item for arena points (if they go for pvp 2hand), if they didnt get any pvp item in voa.
In the end the gear difference will always be there for the most part of the season, especially in Ulduar. The pve gear will be much better for most slots (especially physical dps specs) and without highrolling in ulduar/voa, players wont be able to play competitively for at least 90% of the season by default. Thats what old expansions like wotlk were like and Blizzard enhances the problem by making seasons/expansions shorter and buffing pve gear more than pvp gear.
Double edged sword. I will enjoy beating down bad geared people with my main since those poor people will not be my gear level as season starts. I will use this momentum to get to top and stay there, repeating this every season.
On the other hand, I will probably just give up playing my alt in pvp, not really interested in getting pounded by more geared people since the gear discrimination already established itself since the beginning of s5. May god have mercy for those who will take my place in the bottom as my alts are gone from the pool, we will see how long those people will last.
Clearly a typo from my phone but okay cringer. Yeah, keep trying and begging for a free PvP Shop. Cry enough you might just get it. You don’t look desperate or anything.
