... except you cant just "hop into it" and anyone who thinks that is deluded or incapable of reading. Youll have -no PvP talents- if you just "hop into it"; I.E. youll be even more of a liability to your team than if you had sub-par gear prior. And you cant just hop into Ashran (even a losing one) and grab artifacts and treasures for 4 hours to max out those PvP talents (which you CAN do currently and have a complete set of Honor gear) - its several weeks to a month or more of grinding.
So, yeah, being sub-par because you haven't "ground your way up" is actually going to be WORSE in the new system. WORSE. Let it sink in.
Basically all of this.
So not only are you going to be a liability until you forcibly grind PvP talents, there is ALSO a gear disparity. Even if we go by the original numbers and not what people on the Alpha are noticing (which was about 1%/5 iLevels) - even under the publicly stated 1%/5, you're looking at a TWENTY PERCENT difference between a new 110 and someone with high iLevel raid gear/pvp gear... because iLevel 800 is the rough starting point at 110, and high level raid gear (mythic) is already 890.
People need to wake up and learn to read what is actually going on.
This new system is going to be MORE grindy, not less, and youll be MORE of a liability until you complete that grind than if you stepped into a BG with LFR raid gear or Baleful gear currently.
Gonna be great, i tell ya. Holinka strikes again. HueHueHue.
