PvP gear required to get into battlegrounds

I haven’t played pvp since wod, basically because i didn’t like how gear scalating and only itemlevel being important worked, predefined stats for everyone, etc. bad game design, totally a turn off.

Now i’ve come back as always, with my resto druid and found the new system good enough, the best i’ve seen so far, resilience was bad, even back then i was convinced that skills should be tuned for pvp individually, turned out i was right… :shrugs:

The issue i’m finding is that i see lots of people with leveling gear in unranked battlegrounds, and it does turn the tables, when one team combined has 189m hp and the other 130m… there’s literally nothing to be done.

There is a minimum requirement of gear to get into heroic dungeon finder, i don’t see why there shouldn’t be for unranked pvp…

To gear up blizzard just needs to increase the ammount of warmode pvp world quests that reward 714 (as per season 3) pvp gear, it should be attainable in a gaming session, quickly, so to not get frustrating, as we all want to get into pvp asap after all, but this way there’s a guarantee that battlegrounds are gonna be balanced when it comes to gear.

I only see a win win situation because this system would stop frustration in both geared and ungeared people.

Well, since we are now getting Training Grounds (Permanent Comp Stomp) ; There really should be a progressive system where fresh new players and returning players alike, have to require to gear up via Training Grounds to at least gearing the aspirant (green PvP gear from the honor vendors) instead of seeing PvE players in greens or blue getting one shotted with 1 aoe fart and then wonder why they are dying.

Boosted my druid to 80, went into wm and just farmed some coins via world quests(karesh/goblin counts too),all of them give u 100 coins. Spark q also doable by stealthing/flying around and looting stuff. First ebg win= 3 craft items 2x ring 1 neck. Granted i send some honor from main to alt 20% fee. But overall its fine. Just trying to farm conquest sucks a bit,wouldn’t force it just do daylie win maybe few more and go again next day.

Regarding tier set boni, you can just buy one cheap conq item and upgrade one warmode coin item > 2set.

They should just make a system, when conquest isnt capped anymore, to up everyones gs in a bg to warmode gear gs automatically. Was like that in unrated blitz.

I have a better idea; just mail the complete green honor set to people when they ding 80, and at the start of each new season, so that geared people no longer have to carry undergeared potatoes.

I recommended that one time and got scolded for it because apparently dying constantly and being useless is part of the experience.

Resilience removal is just another stupid thing they did like the removal of reforging from cata.

If Blizzard could at least one leave their dead horse and make PvP not a gear grind we could have way more fun.
But no, every freaking season you need to farm gear, get farmed if you are late into the expansion and it’s a terrible experience.
And if you look at the state pvp in this game is in.. I mean, yeah, we need more hurdles for that dead game mode.
