I just leveled my hunter alt to 90 and I decided to focus on PvP (I didn't play serious PvP since TBC) without doing any sort of PvE and because of that I've realised that PvP in WoW is terrible.
Of course when I dinged to 90, my whole equipement was mostly green items so I didn't expect much because I knew that I'll be one-shotted by everyone. So I decided to do some random bgs. In each fight my whole team besides maybe 1-2 people had the same gear as me so we were crushed by the enemy team.
I played almost 10 bgs for about 2-3 hours (10 minutes queues OWN btw), lost them all and now I have less than 1k honor points even that in the meantime I've killed one of the pvp rares in Krasarang Wilds and he gave me 200-300 honor points. My point is that it will take AGES for me to get full PvP gear which is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen. Someone will prodably say that I can buy a boost in arena and get free gear but that's not how it should work.
In PvE you just level an alt to level 90, go to timeless isle, get 496 ilvl gear and you're prepared for the latest content. There should a catch-up mechanic in PvP too.
We all know that in the next expansion we will get a new PvP zone that will last 24/7. So that's how PvP gear should work in WoD imo:
1. Tier 1: Honor Points gear - each item is sold for around 200-300 honor points so you can easily farm this amount and get your PvP gear straight away.
2. Tier 2: Conquest Points gear - you get those points from arenas but also every won random BG gives you 100, and every lost random BG gives you 50 (because bg is more serious PvP than arena), and rated battlegrounds give you higher amount of conquest points.
3. Tier 3: World PvP zone gear bought by the new currency gained from doing objectives on this island.
I don't know what do you guys think but imo PvP in WoW has to change because right now it's terrible.
I've also made the same topic on official WoW forums so if you support this, write something there so maybe someone from Blizzard will see it:
