    Will the S15 LACK of models/rewards create problems?

    Source: Frontpage

    - No elite gear
    - No mount either, despite a prideful serpent being found

    Apart from fun, there isn't really that much point in doing it apart from getting your 550. Even then, I can see the more... "Stronger" PVP community turning to just kill lowbies and farm players on timeless isle since there really isn't any other reason for them to play.

    What do you think?
    This is my signature. It states my prediction of the next expansion. Not only is it correct in my eyes, but should also be in yours too.
    Anyone who doesn't agree with me is an idiot, a bad, and a pleb.

    Just to clarify, the datamined Prideful mount IS being used for the Gladiator reward in S15. The 'no new PvP mounts' was in regards to the 40 RBG / 100 Arena wins achievement.

    I kinda doubt it'll matter. Certainly won't impact me at all, I don't play the game so my gear can look different every few months, and I already have more mounts than I can use anyway, so that's largely irrelevant as well.

    just means there's absolutely no reason to play next season....gonna cancel sub and enjoy D3 expansion until WoD releases.

    most pvpers don't care either way to be honest, i know gladiators who have glad mount + ogrimmar wolf + horde fly mount you get on outland and thats all.

    Red Wyvern, only mount I ride. Fits in doors, works in arena, flys. These PvP mounts that dont work in arena or dont fly arent helpful to me at all. So I cant give a crap about no new ones. Nor can I really care about no new graphic. T6 warrior + Stormherald is perfection, no need to wear anything else.

    A full set of 550 gear, and the general fun created by playing, is more then enough to keep me playing.

    So you only play to get items, you dont play because you like playing?

    this expansion,yes. I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed this expansion once but I played it out of habit. WoW's pvp used to be fun so I was just holding out hope it'd get better. clearly it won't at least not before WoD.

    I pvp to beat the other guy. Not get pretty dresses or new ponies. That stuff is for dragonslayers.

    Edge aside. Really don't care about "PvP rewards." The competition is the reward itself. A new season is always fun as everyone starts on nearly equal footing and gear matters the least. Fun times ahead!

    While I do not PvP for items, but for my own enjoment*- I still think they are being lazy.

    *as much as panda pvp can be

    It doesn't matter because honestly? The PvP sets started looking like crap a long time ago.
    Who looks forward to them anymore? They just get worse as time goes on.

    I'd be excited for a new set and mount if I knew blizzard would have given them some creative thought at least.

    I'm disappointed that they didn't take the time to make new gear sets other than swapping colors on the current sets. I'm not too worried about the mount achievement though. Just play for fun imo. If you don't enjoy the game or feel that you aren't being rewarded for your time then don't do it.

    I actually would have liked them to do a "classic" set. Something that had already been designed but just needed a texture update.

    I would like if they made a new set but im not bothered. And they have a good reason. I'd rather have wod sooner than getting cosmetic stuff.

    On the other hand lack of balance will certainly create problems.

    We should really try and stop reading full-blown disasters into every single thing Blizzard does or decides. It's getting old at 5000 mph lately.

    Like, you know, the alternative to a this new PvP season would have been S14 lasting well until July with not the tiniest additions, no chance at getting more gear than you have now. Oh well, guess we'll soon find someone who'd have actually preferred that.
    Your rights as a consumer begin and end at the point where you choose not to consume, and not where you yourself influence the consumed goods.

    Translation: if you don't like a game don't play it.

    See, that argument holds weight when it comes to actual content such as a new zone, be it an instanced zone or whatever. Changing, or at least recolouring (Other than swapping), the gear sets is something that a single art guy could do over the course of a few days/weeks. One guy isn't going to make or break the deadline for WoD.

    An alternative could've just been resetting ladders and keeping the current gear and bumping the iLevel up for us - instead of forcing PvPers into farming a brand new set of gear that looks identical.

    i'm sorry but if they add more mounts and elite gear, it might take away from other areas including a raid tier or something so no elite gear or mounts.

    sorry.

    I doubt it will create any major porblems and it almost certainly won't have any long lasting ramifications as to the health of WoW's PvP scene.

    That being said, I don't like how it shows practically zero foresight on their part to not have something up their sleeves, it just makes me think we'll all remember S15 as that half assed one at the end of MoP. I understand, and even agree that now, they shouldn't be pulling major resources away from WoD design to flesh out S15. But still, I don't think it would have killed WoD's release date to have one or two art guys whip up some new colors on a previous season's gear as a token effort. Say, re-use Tyrannical Gladiator's armor models but just give us new colors insterad of swapping faction colors.

    Again, I understand the reasoning, but I don't like the near zero effort.

    How does it show zero foresight? The fact that this season is even happening is because they were looking into the future.

    I hate this as a tauren >.<.

    For the armor and stuff? I think blizzard has already shown armor wise that they do not really gives a shit about us either way in that regard.They know that we will pvp either way, the armor could be a brown bag and blizzard would not care.
