    Which is dumb because elite gear is the simplest and most obvious answer to the pve/pvp gear discrepancy in world pvp.

    Gear progressioninPvP is the biggest problem in PvP. It allows for ppl who are able to sink time to have an advantage over this who are actually good. That's the bottom line any way you splice it. If you suck in PvP. You shouldn't get an advantage its obviously a large advantage due to 8 years of ppl hating it. Unless your one of this super Huber elitie arena players who have a lot of time to stream and grind out MMR. You really deserve a gear advantage. One if your good at PvP. You don't need an advantage. Second you don't need better gear just to brag that your better.

    no just no. The opposition, (or should i say the contrast) is less of a gear vs skill, compared to gear vs fotm class.

    By eliminating gear out of the equation you are rewarding fotm rerollers.

    In your logics context:

    If you suck in PVP you shouldn't get an advantage because of your class. If you are good at PVP you don't need a class advantage. And you don't need a class advantage to get better ratings to brag that you are better.

    I'll tell you exactly why it is hard.

    In malevolant season he geared his warrior because it was overpowered. He was having fun with his gear but he was to lazy to gear his shadow priest. His shadow priest had abysmal gear.
    When in tyranical season his warrior got benched and he thought he would play his shadow priest - his shadow priest was in greens. And he was losing to everyone geared. But of course he is a great player. He is skilled. And now he demands because of that to have the same gear with people who actually didn't switch classes.

    All the demands in the name of skill - only it is not skill - it is class balance.

    The sad thing is we have gotten to the point where we are punishing high rating players and just giving them cosmetic changes (5.3 gear scaling) because bad PvPers are angry that they can get stuff like T2. That is like rewarding Heroic Raiders with 522 Gear that is a different color....

    to be honest... its usually the bad pvp'rs that complain they arent getting higher level pvp gear then everyone else.

    and the thing is that everyone had access to tier 2. Play for several weeks and you will get there eventually. (5.2 originally didn't have rating requirements for elite)

    As I already said the dillema gear vs skill is actually false.

    I should earn the same grades as a hard working student because I think i am smart.

    Oh, I'm aware, but it is nice to be rewarded for getting rating. I've got 2 alts that are 2k+ along with my main who is 2.3k+ RBG/2150 arena (this season), my alts are extremely undergeared yet I make it work. On my warlock I did 8 RBGs last night, went 8-0, gained 40 points, the thought of needing to bring my rating up to 2500 to buy the tabard in 5.3 is just painful because assuming you win every game from 2200-2500 you are still looking at 50ish wins? Just leave it how it was, 2.2k+ = t2, if you can't get t2, sorry, too bad. Rather then changing the gear system they should fix the MMR system so I don't que into a 1700 team after going 25-0 in 2s at the 1600-1700 bracket.

    Riveting post there.

    On topic, having the elite gear with higher ilvl would be the simplest solution to squashing the gap between PvP gear and PvE gear in world pvp environments for sure. Being that your item level will be capped in any instanced pvp, having it being a higher ilvl is inconsequential to rated play (and even unrated battlegrounds) and makes sure that PvP gear remains the best gear for PvP out in the open world (if you are high enough rated to purchase the elite gear).

    Which is something I would whole-heartedly support, assuming they made the other logical changes to go along with it (namely, tuning heroic raids around a lower ilvl but still requiring higher performance from them.... so that once you're geared enough to clear normal ToT, you're fully geared for all of heroic ToT and it's a matter of pure skill and coordination, not gear.)

    You are one of the main reasons why blizz had to cater to all the bullish crybabies no offense. If you such. Deal with it. Don't ask for a handout
