New players dont want to queue against 220+ ilvl geared players.
They also dont want to queue in against gladiators or high rated players.
Make a bracket system that makes people face similar groups to their own gear/skill.
This might actually make it fun to queue skirmishes as a side-effect.
Not to burst your bubble but…that’ll kill unranked PVP of all kinds for a lot of players (including myself) If you can’t handle having a challenge(Especially in a environment where your rating isn’t on the line), why are you pvping?
Games like league/guild wars 2 don’t endorse this kind of behavior, Blizzard shouldn’t either.
People like you should get ganked all day, expecially on alts by higher levels and when you make a forum post about it, people should react with “if you cant handle a challenge…”
What i remember they removed skirmishes for a some time but they bring back cause players wanted them back. In my opinion skirmishes option it’s ok, random games, just for fun without any pressure, if making you angry just avoid it.
What making it worse are weekly quest allowing to farm some conq and honor, if i lose skirmish i still will earn honor for quest.
I mean, it is skirmish. We mostly use it to test addons outside of weekly quests, there is no point in changing anything about it.
And yeah, I remember playing against bronzes as a diamond in league, bronze ones had similar complaints “why do we play against diamonds-challengers in normals!!!”. So games are different but people are not.
The lengths some people will go to just because they feel too entitled to the rewards that they don’t even consider that becoming better at the game is the solution to their problem.
Stop asking for the game to give you the rewards for less of a challenge. You suck at the game, so become better. End of story. A game with no challenge is not an option.
The gear differences is a different topic altogether, now that needs to be fixed by bringing in the WoD gear scaling and bringing back a proper catch-up system again, since the WoD gear scaling doesn’t make it useful in PvE. Which is why we have this ridiculous timegating and lack of a proper catch-up system to begin with, because of the ridiculous crossover to PvE.
Enjoy your huge queue time for being some of the most grotesquely geared players, put it that way. From personal experience my team always has people with less than 30k hp anyway for the most part, so what difference would it make unless said brackets have very forgiving item level jumps. I don’t think there would be any point in queuing for alot of people if you tried fixing the “random battleground” function by putting factors in which are far from random.
Uhm, why so you want to add brackets to skirmish. Just play rated then? It’s the exact same thing as bracketed skirmish. If you’re at 1100 rating in rated you won’t face over geared people. Everyone will be newly dinged or don’t know how to use spells. You’ll fit right in.
The original poster wants them too, yes in unrated bgs, skirms etc. Cause they don’t like being dumpstered by gear in a game where you gear up to progress, Blizzard won’t do it if they want to keep the pvp factor of the game alive. Given its already hemmoraghing with glad players boosting people and gate keeping actual players trying
