PvP gear requiring arena
Re: PvP gear requiring arena
Not seeing a better alternative so far. Requiring arena rating in nilla content is silly.

Re: PvP gear requiring arena
The being able to swap honor points for arena points was a decent idea. Just make it so the exchange rate is quite ridiculous, requiring 4+
Then make the items cost two or three times more arena points if you don't have the rating.
Still hints a bit of the retail mentality where everyone is getting free legendaries now, but I wouldn't riot over this change.

Re: PvP gear requiring arena
i think it should take many months to get fully geared regardless of the kind of pvp, cost or exchange rate they choose, if they ever implement this, i hardly see it as handing over free gearSorrugis wrote:The being able to swap honor points for arena points was a decent idea.

I'm way too lazy to find it, but I know you were the one saying this stuff isn't supposed to be a reward for grinding BGs for honor until your eyes bleed. I believe it was the 'pooping in a bucket' behavior you specifically called out?Sorrugis wrote:The being able to swap honor points for arena points was a decent idea.

The main problem with making gear cost absurd amounts of honor is that it specifically rewards bad BG play (i.e. farming HKs, ignoring objectives, refusing to defend etc) and I have concern it would encourage or at least make people feel justified in illegal play (i.e. win trading, botting or playing against dummy accounts).

I mean I'd still rather to see it awarded to those who have proven themselves worthy of the top tier of gear.
Can see how Blizzard fell down the path they did, trying to please everyone. It's impossible.
The current system seems fair and balanced. Let's just roll with that for the time being.

Re: PvP gear requiring arena
why would it reward bad BG play when wining gives much more honor than farming HKs ? or refusing to defend and ignoring objectives wich btw is the same thing, rewarding daily quests like http://www.wowhead.com/quest=8114 could further discourage that kind of behaviourceh789 wrote:I'm way too lazy to find it, but I know you were the one saying this stuff isn't supposed to be a reward for grinding BGs for honor until your eyes bleed.

honestly i think it wouldnt encourage bad bg play, atleast not more than it already does or would do if population was bigger
it's not like arena is immune to win trading botting or playing against dummy accounts
EDIT: iirc earlier wotlk still had daily bg quests from battlemasters and turning them for marks of honor or just honor points, cant remember right now anyway something similar could be reintroduced

Re: PvP gear requiring arena
I agree with the poster above me, you get more honor for doing objectives in bgs, even more with quests. Also, would implementing bg tokens and rep dailies back into the game be so hard?
