Hi guys,
I want to get your opinions on this whole "Minimum exp required" for PvP.
I realise that some people may think "If you are good it shouldn't matter" but for me personally, I have only recently come from PvE (high end) to PvP in the last couple of months.
I have recently xferred to a more "healthy" pvp server and have found that everyone wants "exp" of a certain level.
The issue I have found is that MAJORITY of the people are asking for people to have exp way above their own, or above what they should be aiming currently.
Example: Last night I had a rogue asking for 2k exp, 1800 minimum for R/M/healer. I decided to go along (I don't have that experience currently, but oh well). I won plenty of games at around 1700-1800 MMR but also lost quite a few due to better players/better comps. The thing was that the rogue was really not that great, always LOSing me on 20% hp, and then complaining he couldn't get heals, Calls for BoP but then cloak + vanishes etc etc. We lose majority of the "loss" games from him, yet he was the 2k exp player...
Then I asked to join a team, told them I was MMRing at about 1700-1850 last night but they said, 2k or nty. This I respected, but after looking up these players, there were not even past the MMR that I had been playing at last night.
Just because you got 2k last season doesnt mean that you will get minimum 2k this season, especially if you get those achieves when playing imbalanced comps. (Warrior/Hunter/x springs to mind, especially at very beginning of the season).
I am really keen to try to get into serious pvp, but I find that if I play with teams who dont have a "Exp req" I end up with people who dont know how to play AT ALL, but if I try for something higher I get "not enough exp, soz bro" or I get people who are actually quite terrible but still ahve the 2k ach and therefore think they are good.
My question is what do you think about it, what do you suggest? Is there some underground PvP world where people meet to play together (jokes)?
I dont mind working my way up, but at the moment I seem to be getting caught in the middle of the scale, either complete scrubs, or people who are (or think they are) too good and have to much rating/exp.
TL;DR: People want really high exp, but if you dont have that exp you are left with below average players, most teams are either to high to consider (exp wise) or they are bad and somehow have that achieve.
Thanks.
