Yo guys,
First of all i just noticed today that you've merged also Blackrock, great and well done! Thanks.
Now my suggestion and my tought about the currently crossrealm:
Right now, considering the fact that in the same battlegroup there are from now on Blackrock/Icecrown/Lordaeron i guess the Warmane Staff should consider some changes in terms of gear vendors, let me try to explain it. Also, keep in mind that i got BiS on all the chars i actually play, so this change wouldnt be something that comes from personal issues.
As stated above right now we've this kind of situation where there is a huge gap between the gearing process around the servers, that can hurt the overall balance and fun in the battlegroup.
Let's try to watch it from a new player pov:
- Lordaeron: Hardocore PvE x1 realm, takes his time to get anyclose to Icecrown or Blackrock overall gear level.
- Icecrown: PvE/PvP "Blizzlike" realm, unless you donate you're supposed to get into raids,guilds, farming golds and so on.
- Blackrock: Pure PvP realm, istant level/professions/mounts and gear just by a click. End-game PvE gear at 1.8 rating, hard access to 284 weapons (But able to donate for them)
Now, what is this suggestion for? Simply add Relentless gear/weapon for honor in Lordaeron/Icecrown, in order to avoid the gap for starters to start arena against already superior geared 1-click players (Talking about newcomers).
You may say that there is a huge gap between Icecrown and other servers, yes you're quite right but you've to consider that Icecrown is aprox 4-5 or more years old server, so the content and the rates have been farmed for so long making the gear scale that high. I'm not even considering the donation side cause from now-on all the pvp players will just donate for 284 Weapon (Later Shadowmourne) on Blackrock and farm the rest of the gear in matter of days. Without even considering how is will be easy to farm any-kind of counter gear for future high rates compared to Lordaeron and even Icecrown.
To sum it up the suggestion is:
- Allow Relentless gear and weapon at Honor shop, in order to prevent the gear gap between servers with completly different activities.
- Put Blackrock PvE starter gear in Vote Point Shop for the other realms.
- Considering changing the vendor system in Blackrock, without hurt them too much of course, but without allow them to get access to every item ingame except for 284 weapons just with 1.8 rating.
Hope to receve some opinion about that, also up to critism in case someone is willing to explain me if my toughts are wrong etc.
Best regards
