Imagine if gear equalization wasn’t part of PVE like how it actually is so imagine reality and then go play some pve if you want gear progression, gear progression is great for pve, and it’s also nice for warmode pvp and world content etc and it’s gonna be fun to progress with gear if world pvp is actually fun.
Don’t cry Vinzora, you’re going to like it.
Thanks God for classic conq gear and not stupid upgrade system.

PvP Upgrades Gone, timesink Systems gone and Rated SoloQ. PvP becoming alive again.
Boosters are in shambles. Some of them are considering quitting life itself.
Great times ahead, my friends.

You are QQing because you cant kill people unless you have more gear i bet.
I cant wait to play all of the classes and not have to farm gear and other things before they are viable. I was not bored when the gear was like this before and I wont be bored this time.
Enjoy your nerfs.

Rated PvP has no power progression. I don’t think you understand how exactly it works.
The place where power progression happens (in a different sense than PvE though) is battlegrounds. The reason i say its different 'cuz it is like hitting 300 ilvl and doing heroic dungeon as your opponents will be a mix of people at your ilvl and lower.

Because Templates worked as your brains…they actually didn’t work at all.
Nothing worse than coming back mid-season and being outgeared to heck. Just instantly log back off and wait for the next gear patch

It will make me any many of my friends play it much, much more.
Fewer ridiculous gear gaps = more fun, more reliance on skill and class knowledge, less trolling, more ability to play multiple alts, and for folks joining or returning late in an expansion, pvp becomes viable and fun quickly.
The only downside is for those who like to out gear others to troll them. If they’re the ones that leave, good.

Could not disagree more, making barrier to entry lower is nothing but a positive. PvP community has always seen a steady decline, partially because PvPers seem to only play that part of the game from my experience. This way more people will access the content without much effort to start off with, and it makes it easier for new players to get started as well.
As a bonus they have cut down the difference between honor gear and conquest gear to half of what it was in SL, meaning you wont be useless with less gear in arena. I see nothing but positives here. And on top of it all it makes it easier to maintain alts, which most of us play quite a bit in arena

I started playing PVP on this char 2 weeks ago. It is actual hell to grind through the upgrade system.
I have 4/7 honor pieces, Unranked Gladiator, Challanger I, II, Rival I, Rival II pieces all mixed up because I can’t phisically farm enough Honor while living a real life and going to work, etc.
I would require 150.000 honor just to upgrade everything to max ( 16 items, around 1000-1200 honor each level x 8-9 ranks).
That is insane, its like 17 honor levels. For a single char. Imagine also playing alts.
This has to GO. It’s sanity breaking. I just wanna play arenas and have fun.

Yeah sorry about that.

When I read posts like these, there I wonder why players like this thread creator exist in MMOs and destroy/corrupt PvP!?!?
Gear equalization inside the PvP instance is the exact way it should be. This was a system back in Cata and RBGs/Arenas were just fantastic. It all then ends up getting titles and achievements based on individual/group skills and communications and not who has the better gear to one-shot lower-geared players.
True PvP lovers will come back in big numbers and play PvP. If Blizzard can give us at least one new flag map, then this expansion would be just epic… afterall the last flag map came in Cata… Twin Peaks!

I don’t mind gear progression as long as it’s free to upgrade.
I ended up getting high ratings on multiple chars and then takes me a weeks or more grind for duelist gear.
But also If majority of the playerbase finds it too hard and unfair I also support WoD gearing system.
can’t kill what is already dead
Gear equalization = worst idea ever!
Gear equalization is the best idea and going back to Cata/WoD system is the best thing Devs could do it. See other competitive games like Guild Wars 2, where they go a step higher. You create a toon and instantly get into PvP mode where everything is neutralized and you can straight jump into it and all that you can do is completely skill based. Genuine PvPers would never say that Gear equalization is the worst idea, rather they would appreciate it and thus compete with more enthusiasm. On the other hand, Boosted Fakes and Boosting Lords besides moronic legends will certainly consider it as the worst idea as such
