World of Warcraft

Anyone else missing the old arena gear system, like weapon at 1850 and off pieces being at lower rating and finally shoulders at 2200 and then elite gear.

For players like me, who will not go 2.2k I get no reward from being at 2k rating and there is where im linger around like always.

People at 1500 dosen´t deserve pvp weapons and i should not deserve pvp shoulders aswell. It´s just to easy to get good geared in pvp and after that i have nothing to.

I hope some people know what i meant :)

Tbh I like it how it is now I can get 1800 fairly easy but the simple fact is I don't want to I have no will to put effort into Competitive PvP (Wrong mindset I know) but I think in PvP everyone should be equal that way it comes down to Skill and Comp not who has the better gear because if you have the better gear then you are clearly better then the players without it so have an even bigger advantage.

True that, everyone should have same gear/stats and it would be atleast some balance into it and not the one that are a hard core raider and also pvp have an advantage in arenas.

But then again that will never happend, so i like the old system :)

The old system was awesome. Every 100-150 rating meant something, and that really gave you an incentive to practice and push the rating.

Now it's "go 2200 or go home". Not only is this impossible to achieve for most players, the 1650 free points you get per week now totally kills all incentive to try and be good at pvp, since the above average player is ultimately treated the same as the noob who finds a m8 in trade every week for quick points. :[

this sums up how i feel too

No, not at all.

Gear shouldn't decide the outcome of PvP, though perhaps there should be some reward for breaking a certain rating.

I'd prefer the older system too. Have gear rewards at 2.3k, in every bracket again.. 500 arena pts for 1500 rating <3

you dont need the gear if you cant get the rating.

?

No thanks I like being able to gear my alts which I also enjoy to play

yes i much preferred the old system

most likely wont come back because every expansion this game gets more dumbed down and casual friendly

I like this system, then noobs don't have any excuse for losing.

Blizzard know it. if they want causal players suck like me continue playing then it should be casual friendly game.

This TT

Imagine being on a Formula 1 raceway, you have a Toyota sedan, your opponent is Michael Schumacher, he has a Ferrari. Even if you swapped vehicles he would still drive circles around you.

Saying that if "you cannot get the rating, you do not need the gear" simply isn't true because even the highest ranked players will still enter random battlegrounds or partake in world PvP. They're going to win anyway, but why must they have so much better gear that they can be mindless about it?

I do think more rating rewards would be nice though, but it shouldn't be gear (apart from cosmetic changes). Mounts, everyone likes mounts :P make more mounts purchasable with CP at certain ratings, or tabbards or pets or something.

I liked the rank 14 systems best! I got Knight Lieutenant after about 3 months at 60 and then all this nonsense about fotm, pillar hugging, wrath babies, RMP, ArP and so on exploded all over me from my screen like some kind of revenge karma from me teen years on the net and I couldn't get anywhere anymore?

I agree, having the most time to play the game and you should be rewarded with the best gear.

Ohwait.
