If you were doing pvp for the gear....

@khmfdoom No one was questioning pvp's system. The question was "Why pvp now since the vanity piece we were after, will be available to all, without having to do pvp at all?" As well as "Does is suck to know you got r30 thinking your gear was only obtainable via pvp only to find out it'll be craftable with minimum work?"

All that talk of matchmaking and stuff is fine, altho that system requires more people in order to work. The "normal" r30 ppl you run across are easily remembered and can be counted on 1 hand since most ppl at r30 get their gear wanted and never touch pvp again unless it's to level up someone else. Seperate them and put them in their own queue and I imagine a worse waiting process than now. There are then those who are level 23ish+ who won't want to be in a matchmaking system outside the higher ones cause we can run into newbies that cost plenty of losses. The queues are horrible with everyone mashed together, how much worse will they be once they seperate people.

Doesn't this kind of approach invalidate the entire game? "Gee, it sure sucks you bashed your head against extreme primals for a weapon that will be replaced by free tomestone gear with minimum work."

In the end there are a lot more people who want that gear than there are people willing to suffer through bad PvP, so of course they'll repurpose it. Expecting them to put a hold on content just so you can feel special is silly. Your progress in the content you choose to spend your time on is the only reward you should take as a given.

Of course, ideally the dungeon sets should have been dyable in the first place and the PvP and new crafted sets should have been entirely original, but hey, progress is progress.

I get what you're saying but along those same lines extreme primals can be accomplished in a day as well as they will never be completely useless. PVP content is probably the longest grind in the game timewise, once reaching level 50. Ask 90% of ppl why they pvp, and it'll be for the look of the ilvl90 gear. Thus, taking that trophy away from everyone, is taking away any purpose for having done it. If I knew this look would have been so easily accessed in 2.2, myself and I'm sure alot others would not have put so much time into pvp. I don't know who asked for content to be on hold so iono how to respond to that.

Well... tough tomatoes. You invested time into content to get the rewards as they existed. They are not being taken away from you or changed, and it was your decision to do something you didn't enjoy so that you'd have a sweet robe to show off to people, and you got to do just that.

If you really need some sort of prestige award, just remember that you're now that much farther ahead of the other players when they add the actual PvP exclusive gear sets.
