I recently came back to the game and I just want to pvp but here I am having to grind bgs and get steamrolled for just wanting to have fun pvping. Now that’s with one class, imagine if I wanted to play more than one? People at Blizzard why can’t you just remove pvp gear? I know what people will say “they already tried it in legion and wod”. Except they didn’t . They kept pvp geaer and added pvp templates. What needs to be done is what games like GW2 or BDO (more recently) have been doing. No fixed templates. You pick your gear (free) with the stats you want and you jump into pvp right away. Nothing inbetween.
The pvp players complain and cry “pvp is dying” well you dont say? You know what a player who has never done pvp has to go through to actually play pvp? Getting steamrolled by players with full conquest gear makes your motivation to play from 100 to 0 just like that. Even if you have full AH greens. Imagine how much more would pvp be flourishing if this silly requirement would be just removed. Anyone can just jump in. I myself would. Currently I cant bring myself to. Especially towards the end of the season, there is just no point.
I have been playing wow since Cataclysm and back then I was a teenager, i’ve had a lot of free time till legion and I alwlays grinded my pvp gear and never complained, you know why? Because I played 12 hours a day. Do you really want a game mode to die because you’re catering to a minority of players? Also you think top 0.1% glad players would care? It’s all about rank and rating and that has nothing to do with gear. You stop caring after you get your last conquest piece.
If you think farming pvp gear gives you a sense of accomplishent then I must tell you that it’s a really toxic and bad system because imagine having to farm to actually play the game and get stomped in the process. This is not even comparable to pve. In pve the gear grind is THE GRIND. In pvp gear should be meaningless, only skill matters.
If you want meaningful rewards fromo pvp don’t look at the gear, give us actual rewards, more titles, more mounts, more achievements and obtainable rewards.
If you are against this honestly you deserve your long pvp que times you people keep crying about. Or are simply gatekeepers for no reasaon or because you rely on gear more than skill to kill noobs. You want pvp to come back alive? Then let new and old players join by not having to waste their and also your time. Cause being a greenlet in a bg and getting destroyed by full conquest players I love getting flamed in chat because “you’re useless”. Well blame the system not the player
