thats a lie and everyone knows it,gear is always important and a key factor in wow and many other games.
i said this before what wow is doing now is what trion did to rift =killed off pvp = killed off the game.
go read rifts official forums in the pvp section and you can see what im taking about.they got rid of "pvp gear and vendors" said everyhting would be = inside wfs "only".but guess what gear is bis?thats right raid gear =lmfao.you cant go and buy pvp gear from a vendor any more,you get a box with a chance for gear in it from winning a wf "sound familial"? this is rng gear and some players in rift are still looking for certain pieces to drop for over a year now.need that trinket to drop?well tough shit rng says no.
gear in rift is supposed to be = in wfs but it snot and in world pvp "dead" raid gear is miles better.bis gear is T3 raid gear,so called "pvp gear" is one teir behind and can not be upgraded to T3.raiders will go in wfs/bgs and get the same gear you get then turn around and raid getting bis gear twice as fast as a pvp only player.
im telling you this sis going to kill off the last few million pvpers that wow has left and when they are gone the game will be a ghost town.one of the best aspect in wow was that you can earn bis gear how you wanted,pvp or pve.now they have removed pvp gear,removed pvp vendors,removed pvp weapons,yet raiders still get all that bis purple gear.
ask yourself this,how can gear that is giving away for winning a bg to every single player be = to purple gear that drops from an end game raid boss?its not = and everyone knows raid gear will be better and dont think that the "pvp stats" or honor system will make things even because thats a lie.why?because raiders will use bgs to get some free gear to mix/match with their raid gear = a bigger advantage like they do in rift lol.
