I've noticed NO change in the competitiveness in WZ's. I still am on teams that 3 cap , Im on teams that have been 3 capped, and I'm on teams that have players quit the minute they start losing .. Im not sure how you can say its better, competitively ..
I do feel like the gear gap has been closed .. but dont kid yourself, a fully min/maxed player STILL EASILY rolls a new PvP player ..
