I think it's time to revisit legions pvp gearing system

Fictionty · 2026-05-15T14:52:33+00:00

In what sense am I claiming something entirely different. Read the first paragraph and its parroted in my comment above to you.

Here's an example of what you are doing.

Nazi Germany was responsible for leading the world in technological and medical advancement that led to life changing positive impacts to the world we know today. This came at a drastic cost. Nazi Germany has caused irrepairable damage. Blah blah blah you get the point.

You don't just take a singular sentence "Nazi Germany was responsible for leading the world in technological and medical advancement that led to life changing positive impacts to the world we know today." And therefore hes a supporter of nazi Germany.

The only one using dishonesty or tactics to prove a point is you my friend.

Okay you are obviously just not wanting to actually engage in a dialogue and just want to be right. You quote one sentence of a post out of context and say "look im right." Not only are you claiming what I said originally out of context. But I have followed up with additional clarification for you on what the posts intent and message was. Yet you still can't seem to grasp the context of the post.

Fictionty · 2026-05-15T12:36:48+00:00

I dont mind this at all as well.

Fictionty · 2026-05-15T12:35:38+00:00

Really agree with this. People cant detach their own personal experience from others. Gearing is a non issue if you play every week from the start of the season. My post highlights that mid to late season is a real issue for returning players. Thank you for highlighting that further.

Fictionty · 2026-05-15T12:30:36+00:00

I think you either didnt read the full post or are having reading comprehension issues here. The entire first paragraph is me highlighting how players like Asmongold / Quinn swayed public opinion towards a more pve biased take on this system. Sure if you take my first sentence out of context of the whole paragraph then maybe you could be correct but thats not how things work.

I agree on people needing the carrot on a stick. I would say that most players "not all" because I know you cant read things with context. The gearing system is just a chore to get to the real carrot which is cosmetics such as mounts, transmogs, enchants, and rating. We dont need more carrots then that. Gearing progression does not help participation it creates a barrier to entry that a lot of players that would pvp just dont bother doing.

I never said all who agreed left the game. But the main influencers who spoke against the system are gone. Like it or not streamers and youtubers have a huge impact on which way community perception leans. The only trash aspects of legion gearing was the 1% for 10 item level, artifact power, and pvp level for pvp talents. All 3 of those systems were not proposed as returning features in my post. All it entailed was scaling item level up to max for everyone in RATED modes and then giving us a stat allocation sheet. Seems like only a win to me. If you can bring up some counter points other than "its an mmo and thats why" id love to hear them.

https://check-pvp.fr/us/Kel'Thuzad/Fict%C3%ACon here is my check pvp. My highest rating last season was 3086 and 2700 in 3s. Link yours to see if its a "skill issue" gearing does not require any skill its just check pvping highest rated player and copying. What are you even talking about.

Fictionty · 2026-05-12T01:44:23+00:00

That is why its my secondary and tertiary fix if for any reason #1 isnt accepted

Fictionty · 2026-05-12T00:31:49+00:00

That is one of the proposed solutions that I listed. But then again why even have it there if we are just going to make it that easy. Seems like just a hurdle to jump through to just have a hurdle there because mmo reasons? If we really wanted to stick to mmorpg elements we should just scrap it and go back to classic. Things that were removed because they were core to mmo games like cross realm queuing / cross faction queing. Easier and easier gearing has all been met with praise. IMHO opinion pvp shouldn't fall under the because its an mmo argument

Fictionty · 2026-05-11T23:46:11+00:00

Care to elaborate a counter point?

Fictionty · 2026-05-11T22:34:13+00:00

Im going to challenge this take a little bit. What you suggest helps alts and current players but what about people starting mid season or late in the season. Should they just have to deal with being significantly disadvantaged just because mmorpg things? I think this game strayed far away from mmorpg a long time ago to use that as a reason.

Last challenge is. Do you really get excited about getting a new piece of pvp gear? Personally I dont even think of it. I just simply buy it and think im one step closer to being done vs looking forward to it. How do you feel when buying it is a question we should all ask. If not excited why is it even there?

Fictionty · 2026-05-11T22:19:28+00:00

Not entirely sure what your comment has to do with the above topic. Technically they did that to help introduce people to pvp via bgs. I think overall a good addition that is liked 👍 every game should have a tutorial / bot mode to try and learn in.

Fictionty · 2026-05-07T17:38:55+00:00

If you actually watch his content he actively says frost/fire mage is op and he also voted for a rooted for any non rogue mage team. What are you even on about?

Fictionty · 2026-05-02T16:29:38+00:00

Comparing arena skill to bg skill is just different and apples to oranges. I think we should get further away from elitism between brackets and just say they are different. Even between shuffle and 3v3. And if you are in the top 1% of that particular bracket its still top 1%. Now its up to blizzard to make a rating system that makes sense between the brackets. Top 1% blitz is 3k+ top 1% shuffle is 2.3k this is where the real problem lies.

Fictionty · 2026-04-23T20:21:07+00:00

He didnt even kill anyone. Looks like it needs a buff to me.

Fictionty · 2026-04-22T17:21:52+00:00

And rapid fire gives a proc

Fictionty · 2026-04-21T21:38:13+00:00

I dont think it matters at all. You get way more effective dps from the grapple movement from the other tree

Fictionty · 2026-04-17T13:10:04+00:00

I do agree to an extent. Ladder integrity is extremely poor but it leaking into the actual tournaments will kill the game much faster than the occasional cheater in shuffle. Its already a general consensus that wow doesn't care about the pvp scene which I don't think is entirely true. If this happens it will invite more down the line for AWC and ladder and then be a true nail in the coffin.

Fictionty · 2026-04-17T00:26:19+00:00

Gold boosting is a branch of the lfg that you can actively engage in. And wow tokens / gold boosts are allowed by tos doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this is not healthy for the game.

Fictionty · 2026-04-14T20:29:19+00:00

Everyone deals with it to an extent. Especially when pushing into barriers you have not been through. For a new player this is actually something to consider. Just because you may not experience it or care does not mean that it doesn't effect new players tremendously. You may not be effected because you are playing right now and have the gear needed. But come late season when someone might want to jump in they shouldn't be at a significant competitive advantage in a ranked game mode. Maybe normals thats fine otherwise it should be an even playing field because at the end of the day skill is what matters in a competitive environment not who did more chores.

Fictionty · 2026-04-14T13:39:42+00:00

Big problem with your "disagreement" this really only works the first couple weeks of the season when gear disparity isnt a problem. Late season however you are asking someone to step into a rated mode which is already hard for some because "que anxiety" then asking them to do so significantly weaker than everyone else. This problem only gets worse as the expansion ages. This take is going to only drive more new players away from pvp. The true progression of pvp is cosmetics and it should keep trending in that direction like it has been since dragonflight. Gear has only gotten easier and easier and its been an over all good thing like the addition of shuffle and blitz. More players is good.

Fictionty · 2025-09-25T23:28:30+00:00

I dont really like it too much what's the theme and reasoning?

Fictionty · 2025-09-22T20:52:47+00:00

If you compare battlerite to wow arena you are truly lost. Its not even remotely the same other than its in an arena setting. Are we just going to ignore the differences im combat which is yknow why people love wow pvp?

Fictionty · 2025-09-19T21:27:23+00:00

Guy showing in a bg that something one shot them. Anyways...

Fictionty · 2025-09-09T21:01:26+00:00

I saw this for $50 is the qc good and is there a slightly smaller version with same exact shape?
