make my class unfun to play
class gameplay pushes me to play content, if content is bad or good, that comes after, if class is not fun, i don’t play.
content comes after, but its still very relevant, to make content enjoyable it has to be fair, and that FOR ME it means that if i join EYE OF THE STORM a 15 man BG, and there is 5 objectives, we would require 3 HEALERS to control 3 objectives vs 2 to make it a fair game, the problem are:
1° often we have less than 3 healers
2° the team often have different amount of healers/tanks
3° the gear gap sometimes is huge which bring iuus to the next issue
ever since MoP, we started having an issue with gearing, because in cataclysm i could totally duel wearing no gear just to flex, and after that stats and IL became so huge that gear started to matter more and more and now a non geared player dies with 1 spell, while a fully geared one with the right class is basically immortal
the item level gap shouldn’t be this huge, from fresh lvl 70 to max geared, even tho gearing is insanely easy, once you have lost the train (start of the season) and fell behind, its obvious that jumping in bg with 600k hp vs 1.5M is not ideal for nobody, SPECIALLY IF YOU DO IT AS A HEALER, YOU LITERALLY DRAG DOWN YOUR ENTIRE TEAM IN THIS META
solution would be, find a way to have a starting gear at lvl 70 that scales in pvp
and reduce the GAP between gear and non geared players
Some people suggested to remove gear from the equation, which, I UNDERSTAND on paper is amazing, but the mentality of most players is “if i don’t have a grind i don’t play” and “if i have a grind im gonna constantly complain” and player have it both ways
TLDR in order the priority should be
- Class design/balance
- Fairness in pvp teamcomps
- PvP content (tamper with bgs to make them less one sided, idk, take longer from neutral to controlled on bases, less points for holding orbs, or carts, w/e u want, queues shouldn’t be longer than matches, and matches need to be fun and not one sided
- Gearing and Itemization issues
this is how i see it, and as the hater that i am, im not gonna question my believ by going into any discussion below, u can either accept my point of view, or ignore it, not up to discussion ;>
