Every PVP MMO normalizes gear in PVP

pretty sure OP is just trolling

Gear isnt the major factor, I have killed myth players with my lvl 36 bard wearing gc gear, the issue is due to a handful of OP skills and players who really know how to play (lvl 50 myth) being able to sync down to face off against players with less playtime and thus less (in the least offensive way) skill and experience as their chosen class. eg/ a player gets to lvl 30 with their 1st class and gets nuked by a lvl 50 dragoon (with 2 other lvl 50 jobs) in full wyrm gear with a gea bolg zenith and binding coil drops... not really about gear then, its all about experience and skill, the latter player would in theory have more.

just keep to PvE for now and try doing wanderers palace a few times as it really irons out any creases in your playing and makes you think on your feet more, then try PvP again.

I hope this helps and I hope you do well in your PvP matches soon.

"Terrible idea" - > The most successful MMO on the planet is doing my idea because it's what everyone wants and people in WOW got sick of losing to gear in arenas.

I don't think it's a terrible idea.

I love wow. But this doesn't need to be wow.

There's a lot of things in WoW that shouldn't belong in here. Like weekly lockouts.

Please explain why balanced equalized gear skill based PVP doesn't need to exist just because WOW is doing it.

I didn't say that at all. Nice try though.

[Amused]

I agree with OP. Gear imbalance does not belong in a competitive environment. It only serves to remove the PvP from being any legitimate form of competition. As someone who enjoys various competitive genres like fighting games, it pains me to see people defending gear advantage.

No, this isn't 2004 anymore. Gear should NEVER be the deciding factor in PVP, if it is, you need to disable PVP until it's changed.

Says who? You? I love how every thread of your's is spouting your infinite wisdom of the MMO genre. You think any idea you come up with is the end-all be-all argument and is completely infallible.

There hasn't been a single person that agrees with this thread. Get over it.

none of us care what wow does, seriously go play wow then.
even if the pvp was how you wanted it, im pretty sure you would come here and whine like a child about something because you are inept and can't adapt to the way the game is setup.
