Source please. Blizzard makes changes for the worse quite often.
Even if the gear stats are unified, Blizzard will continue to cater to PvEers and give them the easiest gearing process. M+ spam all day, erryday, even with the nerf.
PvEers will throw a far greater hissy fit than we do over this. And Blizzard actually listens to the PvE crowd, so that would be a very short-lived change.
The second PvEers feel like they should do some PvP, things will turn extremely ugly.
I did quit. Several times. Then I came back to see if it was still terrible, and it was. I did not enjoy the PvE I tried. But I did participate, because I wanted to do arenas. And I don’t think I’m alone in this.
This actually wouldn’t be terrible. Getting SLIGHTLY ahead by doing some PvE isn’t something I’m against at all.
The current problem is the obligatory, no-choice PvE spamfest. So we agree here.
Such attitudes aren’t healthy imo. I don’t need to be a writer to recognize a bad book, I don’t need to be an actor to recognize bad acting, you don’t need 2.4K rating and be a multiglad to have an opinion on PvP.
Heck, I’m probably considered by many to be a casual, unskilled pleb unworthy of saying my piece as well because my rating is really bad.
We disagree on a lot of things, but I wouldn’t dream of denying you the right to have an opinion. Seeing perspectives from people outside an echo-chamber of likeminded people is important.
The problem is that they can’t be unified, not really. As long as the method of acquiring gear differs, one will come out on top, the other one at the bottom.
In a perfect world, Blizzard would balance things so that someone who does PvP of a certain level would gear up as fast as a PvEer who gears up doing comparably challenging PvE content, but Blizzard can’t do that. It would be a difficult feat for anyone, and an impossible feat for Blizz, who has a dirt-poor track record for these things.
