Try playing with no gear and little experience, getting one-shot by rivals in random bgs, teabagged etc. Good luck to any new player that manages to drag themselves through that hellhole. They clearly are not in anyway trying to encourage new players - if anything the system seems designed to punish new players.
I don’t understand why…but at this point a recolor from the same lfr/normal/hc/mm tier not worth the time and effort. This is the issue, and u should be aware at this point, this changes, like the mm ones, are focused on make u spend more time on getting “something” so u need to extend ur subscription (2 month)…this change and the MM tittle are not something focused on the players is just a way to make money in this “drought”
My Friends don't like to play PvP, so i need to find People in Pug. It's really hard to get 1.8k.If this goes live i don't play PvP anymore. I'm sick of this Changes..
Congratz Blizz, you just put the final nail in PvP's coffin.
As a returning player who just recently resubbed and got 60 on my DK for the SOLE PURPOSE of doing PvP, this really makes me want to stop even trying to get in arenas. I'm spending most of my time doing PvE content that I don't enjoy just to have enough ilvl to start doing PvP and now that I'm finally close to start getting some useful gear from PvP, they sneak this in last minute ? Come on Blizzard. You don't care about PvP players, we already knew it, but imo this is just over the line...
What a terrible idea. Fix Boosting first then change rewards. Now a lot of boosters will be happy about it cause a lot of people will have to buy more WoW Tokens to get their full set boost, which mans normal players will have harder time getting 1950 rating because of that. I guess it's a good thing for Blizzard more $$$ for them from boosting.
already have them haha
Dude, what the hell? 1 step forward, 2 steps back.I'm SO GLAD they went from 2k to 1800, because it made getting that gear accessible to casual players because while it was still hard, it meant that if you put in the time and effort you had a good chance to reach it. It STIMULATED the otherwise pretty dead PvP scene with some diversity, and actually made it faster for people who were good. Under a new 1950 stretch, casual players will just give up, and it will be a sweaty, un-fun mess again. The only people who REALLY care about the gear are casuals— they're just recolors anyway. Give it to them so that PvP can continue to be an ACTIVE thing people do, and just give hardcore players MORE rewards like titles and stuff.
What a stupid change. What's the point of this? This will only make boosting worse. Please revert this back to 1.8k, it's already tough reaching 1.8k while facing off against bm hunters, retdins and rdruids every single arena.
Wow this sucks. Why did the increase it from 1800 to 1950? Rating is already deflated, especially in RBGs you can barely get beyond 2k any more at all.
I don't even know what's going on anymore. So damn obvious they are doing this annoy people by bumping up boot requirement.
lol. so many crybabys. It used to be 2200 for elite gear. This change is great and makes the rewards have less of a gap. Having nothing to loot forward to from 1800-2100 and 2100-2400+ 50 wins, and 2400-3100 for rank 1 is just a massive gap compared to the lower tiers. If you want prestigious elite gear you should have to earn it. Not get a participation award rating. There's little to no difference between 1800 and 1950.
should keep it at 1800 this is dumb
It is changes (under the cloak) like this one or the nerf of binding shot, without asking anyone ans asked by no one, that makes me wonder if the WoW dev's aren't actively trying to tank down what's left of the playerbase.The game is litteraly dying right now and all they can think off is how to make it even less attractive. It's amazing.It becomes clear they don't understand what is going on with the game, they can't wake up and will need to take a massive slap on the face with the next expansion which will in the same direction BFA and SL took.Maybe then, they will wake up, I just hope it won't be too late.
