You know, all the positive stuff lately and all the QoL I had almost forgotten the sneaky and sinister side of Blizzard with contempt for their player base.Sneaking this in at the last minute, a negative change that increases boosting and makes transmog less accessible... with no official word... true to form Blizzard thanks for reminding me how much you hate us.
guess i just won't pvp for the 1800 elite transmog anymore, 1950 is more of a investment then im willing to put in shame, that was the only thing bringing me back to the game
Really bad change,and for people that somehow try to defend this saying "the mythic version of a set of pve is as hard and so should be the pvp one too",did you know that you can solo mythics in 2 xpac,like for example if I want the nighthold mythic pala set,which I already have for example,I can just go there now and solo everything,can I do the same with the elite pvp set?No.Pvp was already unfriendly enough for new players and this just makes it more so,sure they just added only 150 rating for the full set,but keep in mind that after you hit 1.6 the rating tanks and you barely get 10 per win,if you can win,if you don't play a meta spec/comp,your chances of getting this is only if you do a wallet diff and buy a boost and retail is already filled with boosters,especially in pvp.If you support such a change,how about you support making the elite set buyable with let's say 500 marks of honor in the next xpac,for example if I want the legion season 1 paladin elite set,I can just go now in shadowlands and buy it for 500 marks of honor.
Well that freaking sucks! I guess ai will never an elite pvp set. As a starter it's so hard to get your way up. Especially when u have not unlimited time because of work and such.
I really don't get why people are so upset about them changing the rating required for the full set. Back in Legion, you couldn't unlock a single piece of elite gear until you hit 2000 rating in one of the rated settings. Which honestly, if you are an 1800 rating and done person, I don't see that as "Elite" play. It's a reward for putting in a lot of time and dedication, them moving it down to 1800 helped casual players get something they shouldn't have gotten. IMO I think this is a good change.
As someone that regularly hovers around Duelist ratings (so I’m not directly affected by this) I find this change to be dumb. Now all the people that saw 1800 and wanted to try and push through the nightmare that is 1600-1800 to get that mog need another 150 rating, which is A LOT if you’re at your limit skill-/experiencewise. Some of them are gonna take it in stride and just push further, but let’s be honest: Most of them are instead gonna go «screw it then I’ll get a different mog» and drop PvP again. It’s not like we’re overflowing with players in this side of retail, why on earth would you make a really good incentive less of an incentive?
In 9.1.5 live when I highlight Rival 1 1800 it says Helm, Shoulder, and Title. Bug?
