I mean, killing bosses from X expansions ago to get basically free mythic tier is not equivalent to killing them when they are current in terms of any difficulty. Locking mythic tier sets imo would be the same equivalent as locking 1.8 sets.
The whole fact things are even behind rating seems absurd when right now in the EU the top 2s player is around 2660, 3s is around 2990, RBG is 2584, SS is 2878 and blitz is a whopping 3742… Like the meaning of even 1800/1950 between all four of those brackets is completely different its just stupid. I’m going to assume BGB is already free rewards like when SS iwas released to anyone who wants to do it.
Anyway imo everything should be buyable except glad mounts. Tbh I think there should be more rewards that are obtainable by anyone who put any effort into PvP to make more people play.
In terms of difficulty it is not, but the RNG factor stays the same. How many people do you think say ‘I’m going to raid Mythic this tier because I like that transmog set!’ ?
It categorically wouldn’t because it is nothing alike whatsoever. The equivalent is locking the AOTC reward and KSM mount, which is what we have now. Until an actual reward of a guaranteed transmog piece is the result of every kill, the PvE sets vs limited elite PvP sets is a false equivalence. It absolutely fries my brain how people still struggle to grasp this elementary level concept.
Mythic mog fy is very doable to get if you play the game even a littlw thanks to how using the gear converter works ill have my full mythjx reclour before season 2
People are already concerned that PVP rewards and participation is low, and now we are talking about de-valuing one of the few rewards that most players feel they want to aim for on the classes they play, the Elite set?
The season-specific rewards are one of the few ways of ensuring current season participation, rather than just getting the rewards after-the-fact (perhaps in a patch/season when your class is a little more “over-tuned”).
If you do PVE, your GEAR rewards are the MYTHIC level gear (or whatever difficulty you run). It improves your iLVL, and you can easily collect the transmogs later on when you can global bosses.
If you do PVP, your GEAR reward is the Gladiator gear for Conquest. It improves your iLVL, and you can easily collect the transmogs later for badges for honor.
If you ACHIEVE in PVE, you get titles, mounts, teleports, tints, ect. You cannot collect these in the following patches.
If you ACHIEVE in PVP, you get the Elite transmog (purely a skin, no stats), titles, mounts, tints, ect. You cannot collect these in the following patches.
Don’t know Mythic PVE gear gets compared to the Elite skin, they are different rewards.
Big no.
BUT, folks who earned the rating back then who didnt have enough CP to buy the whole set should be able to buy it. I got some elite sets that is not fully completed, and that bothers me
