Hard hard disagree. You want to perform best in PvP, do PvP. You wanna perform best in pve, do pve.
I see absolutely no reason at all why that shouldn’t be the case.
Both sides are getting shafted in your own words, so both sides should be fixed. Not being told to suck it up and deal with it.
Regardless of it I think it should be the case or not;
That is not the case.
You want to do the best in PvP? You farm corruptions of high ilvl the best way you can.
Sure. Nothing wrong at all with how blood of the enemy is obtained tho in my opinion, infact it’s quite easy, you don’t even have to fight, you can just play objectives like it is PvE. lol
No it’s not, but that’s the point. It shouldn’t be like that, hence why people are asking for better.
Same thing with essences. I can even concede to a little breadcrumbing being ok, getting people to dip their toes into something they haven’t tried before.
But 30,000 honour in bgs alone, previously 50,000. That’s another story entirely.
Essences specifically are impactful to both PvP and PvE, I don’t find it unreasonable having to do either for them, in-fact I’d even go as far as to say that players who participate in more content should be entitled to more rewards.
Instead of wanting it changed because it doesn’t serve me, anyway.
I find it unreasonable for someone to be expected to not only participate in but actively grind in content they do not enjoy, in order to get optimal power increases for content they do enjoy. Regardless of which way round that is, or if in the case of essences it’s both simultaneously.
If you do more content you should get more rewards, obviously, but those rewards should be optimal for the content you got them from.
I don’t find it unreasonable but I find it to be flat out boring, grindy and even yawn inducing. Such is Memory of Lucid Dreams in my eyes.
Still, if the reward at the end of the tunnel is worth it I’ll do it, if it is not then I’ll do whatever I can towards it and move on.
Kinda like going to work, not everybody enjoys it but you want the reward at the end.
I never had an invested interest in arenas but conflict and strife is a very good essence, me overcoming that challenge and getting it is rewarding on different scales, I overcame something I disliked and got the reward at the end.
I think it’s interesting design to bring people out of their comfort bubbles if they want something. It’s not perfect but it brings diversity and keeps some content afloat and even brings new interest in some cases. (:{ I love you pet battles but what has happened… lol)
I think so too, I actually quite liked the rank 1 acquisitions for most essences. The problem is the grinds for 2 and 3 still requiring that content, and in such daunting amounts. Conflict and strife is also incredibly tedious and unenjoyable to acquire for anyone who doesn’t want to PvP yet finds it optimal for other content.
I see some feedback was already taken in that regards, lowering the requirement for essences like BotE/Memorys.
The fact you only have to do these once now per account is pretty damn huge change and amazingly all those players who invested in multiple alts don’t come to the forums and demand they be rewarded for a now redundant grind they already completed - multiple times!!
Also it irks me to see 1 liner topics “I don’t like this” reasoning, would be easy to fill up the forum in seconds with this crap if everybody did this, parents should be teaching their children to express why they are upset better than waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah BOREEEEED !!! lol
Not trying to personally attack the OP, maybe the thought never occurred to them or they was very upset… this is a personal problem of mine lol
Oh the Comp Stomp is up soon? Awesome! Time to get from level 20 to 80 for that final artifact appearance! 
How do you think pvpers felt having to obtain/farm all the pve essences?
Stop crying and play the game 
You know pvp’ers got support from the pve-players, do you? We totally agreed that sytem was stupid. It never was a fight who is getting ducked more.
It is totally crap you need to get essences from other content than you want to do. And the grind is also insane. 12 more weeks for C&S! It is coming, it is coming!
sigh
12 more weeks? Then you might want to push to 1k or 1.4k rating(not sure), only takes 3 then. And till 1k you can’t lose rating anyways ^^
If a pvp player complained about having to do pve to be viable in pvp the majority of the pve community would respond with “tHiS iS a pvE game sO therefore yoU MUST do pve and pvp iS JuST a MiNi gAmE”
Let’s be real Blizzard screwed up pvp in bfa and to see someone complaining about having to do a lil pvp just to get one of the easiest essence to obtain is pathetic
When you lose more then you win you can not get higher than the point where you start losing points. Which is around 1150-75. Dont think i have not tried. I currently have a 38% winrate.
Edit:
When you get to 1400 it is by the way still 7 weeks to obtain it. Not 3. And on 1000 it is 17.
No i always supported the pvp’ers. I totally understand it sucks.
PvPers don’t even do BGs…When was teh last time you put on twitch and saw cdew and Whaazz farming BGs? Right…never. No one likes doing blood of the enemy.
Just wait for comp stomp and farm it then (but make sure you have done the initial quest before that date). I did it the normal way on this char and I got BotE ages ago on an alt doing comp stomp whilst watching…I think it was Arrow on my other monitor. Comp stomp isn’t pvp in the slightest although I tihnk before all the nerfs, the fastest way to get BotE was epic BGs and that’s basically pve too.
I’m not sure people are interested about twitching BG anyway.
30k is not a lot by the way, bring friend and have fun
Bliz screwed them both up, arguing amongst ourselves about who has it worse (Hint it’s pvpers obviously) isn’t even half a step in a direction that might make the game better.
k then add a way to obtain every single other essence in the game without having to do pve.
There should have been, but essences were a poorly thought out rushed external system to make up for the flop of azerite armor. Which itself flopped because it was rushed and poorly fleshed out
