Disappointing.This system is only good if you exclusively avoid PvP.But if you PvP and PvE, you’re now forced to get gear twice.
I dont see what this changes? If we are going off S1 items like they have here, pve players will still buy boosts to get easy 220/226 gear (which will scale up to 230+ in pvp). And with the items scaling up in PvP, it has the same difference that the non-scaled items have, which is 6-7 ilvl per bracket, so you will still have people boosting and you will still have big gear differences in pvp. So instead of 207 fighting 226 you will have 220 fighting 239 - it is still a big gear difference for those that are struggling now.Obviously if numbers are adjusted correctly this will not be the case, but right now it accomplishes nothing.
So now if you wanna play both PvE and PvP you need to farm completely 2 sets of gear. so stupid.
... Sure it affects PvE'rs for the beginning of a tier when the most efficient way to farm gear is to grind PvP... but the players that care enough about that are certainly getting above 1800 and then replacing that gear this far into the tier with M Sire/SLG gear. What this really impacts is people that predominantly PvP using their gear in PvE situations and making it so that PvE gear is more relevant in PvE content and PvP gear more relevant in PvP content. Good change.
I like things how they are. I raid and rbg by swapping trinkets, leggo and a pice or two of gear around. Love it.Not gonna love farming two whole sets.
I fail to see how it's a good change. Yes the gearing is bad in PvE, so people that are playing pve-only are forced to do pvp. Which is bad. This change adresses the consequences of the problem, not the problem itself. Yeah now PvE players don't need to do pvp to gear, but its really not helping them with their gearing, is it? Its just driving a wedge between PvP and PvE. It is now Difficult for pve people to do pvp because literally everyone now outgears them and vice versa. And for people to do both we need to grind not 1 but 2 sets of gear for each spec we are playing? Nah mate.
Fantastic change, no longer forced to play the PVP mini game to gear for raiding.
this is the best idea ever , good change
This is good. Keep gearing systems separated. i dont wanna have to do 2.4k to do mythic raiding.
90% of players avoid pvp , why ? cuz there are boosters even in very low ratings
but still the upgrade system is in place so this will have no effect
Finally
This is a great change because it'll cut down on boosting by a lot.
FINALLY.
