nonsense, the reason why wolves den "soured" players is due to the queues time suck hard,the match last one round, the button response time is bad, its rigorous "1 tank, 1 healer, 1 melee dps and 1 range dps" meta game and also the fact that WD is arena and many players do not like arena pvp, but like large scale objective pvp.the morale stat is just simply the last straw for alot of ppl.
hmm...no. the grind for r30 to r40 was never an issue, it was the long queues and the power creep that the ilvl 110 gear had over everything.
the morale stat was totally the last straw in the conga line of things that mess up pvp in this game.why do you think ppl were forced to grind 30/40s? hmm was it because they found the lower queues better OR it was the only way grind wolf marks without being smashed by ilvl110 players in pvp. when pvp first came out, everyone gears was pretty even.however, after awhile, ppl started to get their pvp gear and the power creep beside pve and pvp begun. players were forced to do 30s and 40s before even touching 50s. this was the main reason why alot ppl quit because most newcomers would get ROFLstomp a rank 30 team in 10 seconds.
also LOL if you think WD is the "competitive" pvp in this game. the meta for WD is so braindead in its 1 tank, 1 healer,1 MDPS and 1 RDPS comp that it requires NO SKILL. yes i said it, it requires no skill to "compete" in WD, only just superior gear to kill the other team healer first. all you have to do is kill the healer and game over. that is all "teamwork/ co-ordination" that exist in this game.you can get a team of newcomers against season pros (both with equal gear) and tell them:just kill the whm or sch fast" and your team has just much of a chance to succeed as the other team. of course if you feel like shaking it up, then you can go to second meta which "RDPS,HEALS, whoever is left"
wow.such skill.such teamwork and competitiveness.
edit
nonsense on the "The real gear progression stopped at i90 direwolf stuff. The animal gear was just for wintraders and ppl with a lot of time"
idc if you meant this or not, but i am so tired of this being the community perception of the animal series gear.do not assume that every r40 is a WTer.
i can name about 8 legit players who has earned their r40 gear legitimately or is close to get their gear.just because WT dominates the animals doesnt mean all the ppl who has animal gear aare win traders.
