Hi Blizzard Team and PvP Community,
I’d like to suggest a meaningful improvement to PvP reward structures – specifically aimed at long-time, dedicated battleground players.
Currently, achieving prestigious titles like Khan and Battlemaster is an impressive feat that takes hundreds of hours of gameplay, strategy, and dedication across multiple battlegrounds. Yet, the rewards are purely titles – with no unique mounts, transmogs, or lasting visual recognition beyond the name.
Meanwhile, PvE and open-world content generously reward players with dozens – if not hundreds – of unique mounts and cosmetics, sometimes for extremely simple tasks like world quests, reputation grinds, or collecting items.
Suggestion:
Create a new meta-achievement that combines Khan and Battlemaster, and rewards players with:
- A new prestigious PvP title
- A unique, badass PvP mount
- (Optional) A cosmetic banner, transmog set, or weapon illusion
This would not only honor the incredible effort it takes to earn both achievements but also provide meaningful, visible rewards that encourage more players to engage with non-rated PvP content.
Why This Matters:
- Currently, the only mount reward tied to rated PvP is for Gladiator, which is achieved by a tiny fraction of the playerbase (less than 0.1%).
- The only other PvP mount is from winning rated battlegrounds, which is nice, but not a true showcase of broader PvP mastery.
- Players who spend years grinding random battlegrounds – many of whom are the backbone of the PvP ecosystem – receive almost nothing beyond achievements and personal satisfaction.
Meanwhile, PvE players often receive mounts from soloable content, trivial farming, or RNG drops.
Conclusion:
PvP needs more long-term, accessible, yet meaningful reward goals – not necessarily tied to rating or elite ladders, but to effort, consistency, and battleground mastery. Combining Khan and Battlemaster into one epic feat with a proper mount/title reward could be a great start.
Earning Khan and Battlemaster together could unlock a unique, high-quality PvP mount – not just another armored beast with banners and faction flags, but something with the visual polish and prestige of a Gladiator mount: sleek, stylish, and unique.
Then, for all other battlegrounds not included in the Khan/Battlemaster meta (such as Deepwind Gorge, Ashran or any new future battlegrounds), specific achievements could unlock transmog-style visual upgrades for the mount – like armor plating, glowing effects, additional colours, etc.
Thanks for reading – curious what others think!
