The Gladiator rank will be earned by People above 3000 Rating to not devalue the world quest gear and make PvE players not feel forced to play PvP for their gear.
Rated PvP will reward an Elite Appearance of the Raid Gear which looks slightly cooler than the lfr version but worse than the normal version. The full Elite set will be obtained by reaching 1200 Rating.
There will obviously also be a 1000g Auction House Enchant and a Faction Tabard for the absolute elite players, the enchant will be earned by reaching 1400 Rating, the tabard will be earned by 1600 Rating
Items obtained from raids will always let you choose their item level and their stats, in PvP these will remain random.
Scaling and any sort of PvP Template system will be removed to make PvE play… ugh we mean all Players able to easily climb rating and have fun
After being asked why this changes, Blizzard official has responded:
We want to make it easier for pro PVP players to boost raiders, mount and achievement collectors, pet battle and toy farmers. This is because we care about PVP players. We want to make it easier to you to boost someone who have no clue what is doing.
when will you freakin get it already? pvp is hard to develop and balance…they dont want it…they are trying to push all this stoopid sh!t untill all ya pesky pvp-ers finally get it and quit…but no matter what they do you still keep paying the sub…o boy
Fabulous Gladiator’s Fluffyness will spawn a nuke that’ll hit the arena and wipe everyone 30 seconds after it’s used.
This effect can be avoided if you have Cutting Edge or are the current R1 of the current season.
We felt it was unfair that some classes were better than others, so to balance this we’ve added the option to turn the match into draw should you feel the need to. Also, we felt players who put in the time and effort to progress their characters, should have an advantage
Not going to happen. Ion Hazzikostas already explained us PvPers that we are too stupid to use vendors we used 12 years in the past so its better system if they give us random cloaks with random stats 5 times row. If you people honestly think WoW is going to get better in next expansion you are up for a really harsh wake up.
