Premades getting a crutch to help them

I said this in another thread, but I won't be holding my breath. I doubt they will bother it i just par for the course this game isn't trying to make the game industry better or make a "better" game this is a cash in game. It has compelling aspects but nothing game changing including the return of "epic final fantasy level wastes of time"

Where does it say the gear will be better?

They have said they want pvp to depend primarily on player skill. Adding even better pvp gear would be a bizarre step.

I wish they would clarify it for us, then. This makes me not even want to log in.

Sorry I won't be wasting any time on the PTR until I can clone a toon or start at 50. Developers plan things, make diagrams, and all kinds of things before it hits PTR, lets see some of it.

So, a vague quote about something that won't be out for 2+ weeks (something on which we'll get a LOT more information about in the interim) makes you not want to log in?

Where did I say YOU had to be on the PTR? Ranked WZs will be in the PTR patch notes, and will almost certainly have a Dev Post/FAQ go up soon after 1.2 goes on the PTR.

Lol why should the ranking be any different? Not all pugs are bad, and honestly it shows more skill when a bunch of pugs and work together for wins.

The thing of it is ranks just on win/loss are lame. That works for just a team, but since teams are inconsistent (different players) its flawed.

In this format its best to rank individuals, and to do that you can't base it just off wins and losses, but also weighted scores (with objective points carrying the most weight) to judge players effectiveness in combat. However that's far to complicated and no way will BW even attempt that so its back to win/loss and people being carried by good teams. The more I think about it the.more pointless ranked pvp starts sounding, they simply don't have enough structure.
