Blitz problem regarding people and PVP gear

PVP Battlegrounds
1

Now i can say from experience, playing a good chunk of games, in all sorts of ratings / mmr. There’s an issue for sure, regarding who can queue up, people with greens, pve gear etc. I have played multiple bg’s, where people show up with greens, and some cases full pve gear, where the PVE gear has been 600+. This usually happens, when you start your first games, to get your " placements " in terms off mmr. I would also like to point out, that there’s definitely a " elo hell ", as most of us knows from other games. I personally have a few characters, that is in that issue, and where there’s some really interesting stuff going on. We are talking about people, signing up in the " rated " bracket, instead of the " Quick Match / normal " pvp stuff right, and you will find ultra griefer. There’s people who’s even worse, than those bots you fight, in that brawl event ( Comp stomp ). You will get inhuman players, if you get stuck around 1.5, and its just gonna go on forever. Until you are " lucky " to go on a winstreak, and then get to around 1.9 - 2k + MMR. Where people also are inhuman, but you don’t see it as often, so there you can actually play the game.

But as mentioned earlier, i have 3 chars currently, that is in " elo hell ", which is basically 1.3 - 1.8k MMR. And here people are pure griefing, as much as they can, most games you play. They show up in poor pvp gear ( full greens), or pve gear, and they just AFK throughout the BG. There should imo, be a requirement of PVP ilvl, abit above honor gear. I know people also wanna gear, their really badly geared alts, but so does so many other players. But spending anywhere from 15-20+ games inside this " elo hell ", if you are that lucky, to escape early. Otherwise you just sit 30min in queue, to get trolled by green geared people, and go in a endless loop of losses. For the love of god, please please look into matchmaking, when you are putting people into blitz. I have personally used the report function " report for gameplay sabotage ", but i have never gotten any feedback, as per usual with reports. There’s countless of griefers inside blitz, and i kinda imagine they never get banned, so they just keep annoying people’s bg’s.

i encountered many griefers and afk people , what sucks i finally get close to neturalize my win los ratio and then griefers happen and you go ona nother 3 x in row lost streak , then you have people that just pve , you have healers not healing when you are on top of them in the back , i even saw a warrior carry flag to mage tower since he was human but he was on our side as horde and ended up giving the flag to enemy team… its sooo demoralizing

rated content should require pvp gear ilvl entry of 630

you can literally get bloodtokens and world gear for 636

i couldn’t agree more with this. Also pve gear under idk lets say, 636 which is crafted gear, shouldn’t be allowed in rated content at least. So you can eliminate people griefing, with their 603+ PVE gear, and force players to equip pvp gear. So before you enter rated content such as RBG/Blitz/Arena. I personally think it’s a big issue, allowing people in, if they are full green geared. Whatever people do for " normal " rated bg’s, i can’t be the god over, nor playing arena games thats not solo shuffle. But when you have 8x people in a blitz, and most is green geared, vs a team with semi good gear, you are just gonna insta lose. People barely knows how to play with gear on, and thats prolly the worst part, and then if you add the green / pve gear ontop. It’s just an endless tragic loop if you ask me. Solo shuffle same story, you get a green geared healer, then you just run him down perma.

Most of the time in alot of bg’s, you will see healers in low MMR, just stand in melee. And then when you ask them, what they are doing, you just get an stupid msg back haha.
