Can we have the hellhound gearset available to buy with Trophy Crystals?

I don't want a recolored mount. I want the original. You know in China, everyone who participated in the feast received the dreadnought mount regardless of top 100 or not?

Completely different country, game laws and values. Due to having a highly regulated allowance of playtime BY LAW and the general value of "everyone is a winner" being ingrained they made it that way so there would be no complications.

You basically cannot compete there.

If they add old ranked rewards that new ranked players weren't around for, those new players will quit because.

This is your argument. That adding old rewards will make new players quit.

New players won't quit PvP, but it will make them quit PvP ranked mode. I don't think many old players did ranked PvP for "fun" per se, the same way many don't like wiping in ultimate 500 times. They are rather in it to see the fight to the end/to have high quality matches and the rewards that come with it. If you can obtain that another way, why bother? Old players already have it, so its a meaningless update for them, and new players can accumulate points over time instead of stressing themselves in ranked.

There are plenty of strong wow pvp players that came over to dominate ranked cc in ffxiv recently (ffxiv CC pvp is a joke in difficulty compared to other games)

I think even them would like a higher playerbase of skilled players, so matches are more "fun" and don't depend on who is getting the most inexperienced fresh diamond player in his team, which happens often I guess from my experience. I don't think WoW has such skillgaps in the same tiers.

China...Communism something...xD



To the other replies - there are not only legacy items that are still unobtainable, introduced into the game before PvP. If we go by timeline they should come first I guess.
Regarding the benchmark - this was already the case in previous benchmarks, it was already an option then. They just didn't change it.

One odd thing is still, they changed the reward structure with CC, to counter the hated FOMO. But they added Series rewards that are seemingly not coming back either. Instead of timelimited ranked season they made a timelimited casual season? If it is really along a "battle pass", then it would have been better to let people pick the battle pass they want to progress, no matter at what time. There is no clarity on this, even now 2-3 years later.
