Let Us Get PvP Gear From PvP Titles/ Ranks - Icebrown/Blackrock
We need an alternative to gear for those that don't want to do arena and get farmed by higher geared / skilled teams. We need a system that rewards hard work, not skill. I think arena should stay as a way to get gear but I would like to see the option of being able to gear via PvP ranks or titles.
For example, High Warlord would give you access to buy WF weapons, Warlord would let you buy WF armor, Champion would let you buy Rele etc. The higher rank you have the better gear you can buy basically. The currency used to buy these could be Arena Points, Honor, Gold, or EOF.
The problem with arena being the only way to acquire BIS PvP is it rewards highly skilled / min maxed combo teams. It's also hard to get rating when as soon as you start queing up there are BiS boys farming you for half the games. This makes it really difficult for non-bis people to gear up.
The PvP ranking system is tedious and really long but as long as you put in the time, you will rank up. MMOs have historically been about hard work - not skill. Skill is always a factor but we need a more grindy way to gear up.
Thank you.
