Official Petition: Please DO NOT create another tier of PvP gear for 2.7

/Signed here too

Reason I canceled my Warcraft Sub, was just freaking tired of having to grind every week to have the latest season gear, just to have to grind it again a few months later cause you´d get 2 shoted if you didnt.

Add new piece bonuses, different looks, small "nice to have" things, anything, but dont make old gear just obsolete.

I think it's funny how everyone that is against this new tier has 1 of 2 reasons that actually conflict with each other.

On 1 side we've got the people saying it's a pointless grind because of the negligible stat increase on a new tier.

On the other side we've got people saying it's a pain in the *** to grind a new tier because they don't want to get "2 shotted" by the people that have the new tier.

Apparently a negligible stat increase will allow people to 2 shot others that don't have the new tier.

Which side is right?

Terrible thread. Terrible idea.

Never seen an mmo community actively WORK to destroy pvp like this one. First there was 55 bolster, now this nonsense. This idea is bad and you all should feel bad.

Instead of a static gear grind of more powerful gear, how about keep the gear same, just add additional gear with the same stats yet different set bonuses.

This would make the grind more interesting, giving you the option to choose gear with different set bonuses for your class. Some could give you better offensive capabilities (increased damage on certain abilities), others with better defensives (or reduced CD). They could also make gear that would be tailored to each spec of a class (set bonuses that affect skills and abilities in each tree). So for each spec of each class in the game there would be at least 2 sets of gear with different set bonuses.

The tricky part would be creating attractive set bonuses that wouldn't be too overpowered compared to the other set bonuses of the same class, as well as other classes of the same role (DPS, healing, tank).

Way to flame bait. It's not a bad idea to ask for your grind to mean something. And no, I am not talking about stat deltas.

PvP would be much better if the devs focused more on the grind for bling instead of a grind to nowhere, or didn't you get the memo that how bolster works when a new gear tier is provided?

To be fair I'm pretty sure the community never sees anything as content. I remember when the arenas where added we had lots of people running around asking why BW hadn't given them any pvp content....

What is the point of balancing classes when they intentionally create gear imbalances.

the whole idea that everyone is not in the same gear is just dumb, the idea that the winners get even better gear is even dumber.

Next year the winners of the super bowl will get better gear in the regular season then everyone else.

Just dumb.

Someone decided that because you grind gear in MMO PvE, a P E R S O N A L B E S T activity, that it should be the same in PvP, a C O M P E T I T I O N, where everything is supposed to be fair.

It was wrong in the other games and it is wrong in SWTOR.

I hope this one is true over the other option

That would mean I dont "have to" grind every new tier.

Would be way better if the new gear had different bonuses and nice-to-have stuff than just way-better stats overall that make the old gear just instantly obsolete.

Between Conq and Obroan it was about 8 endurance and 7-8 aim per item, so 14 items that is 112 endurance and 98-122 aim.

...

Interesting, thats like 5% more stats? nothing to cry about thought the difference was way, way bigger.
