Please Remove Gear Restrictions (Rank)

[AntiSocialPanda]

Please remove or lower the rank restriction on PvP gear. This is just an arbitrary system designed to increase grind and it's not like this game needs more grind, right? Also, for GCs that have premades and a solid gear advantage all it does is give them an upper hand. When we are waiting 1hr and 30mins for a queue, grinding that many games could take MONTHS.

I think it's fine the way it is. Took me 4 months to get rank 40 with 2 hrs queuetime, but it was worth it cause I had so much fun doing it.

If you don't enjoy pvp then there's no point in doing the grind anyway

The longer the grind the greater the sense of accomplishment.
As the person above said, play PvP for fun. Over time the ranks will come. PvP gear is already being synced to ilvl 80 (twinking doesn't even always require the ilvl110 set gear) so I don't know what kind of advantage youre talking about. Wolves Den doesn't count since no one plays that anymore (sadly).

Do you want everything to just be handed to you? If so, GW2 is an option.

Working for something is fine. But days, weeks, and months of useless grind isn't fun. It's a chore.

You want it? Work for it.
You don't enjoy PvP? Stay out of the queue and don't ruin my fun.

For the love of God why is everyone here so brain dead ...

Well, then i suggest you to quit the game. Because you might noticed, that this whole game is about grinding and every piece of gear will be useless after 3-6 months. Fun fact is, that the pvp gear is probably the only gear wich can be up to date for more then one year (Because of Moral and the overall slow development for pvp in general).

For me, your post just sounds like you want to have the i100 gear as free loot and dont want to take effort in it. Yea, its a grind, but its the end game gear for pvp, so you have to work for it. Just like you have to work for i130 coil gear, wich is end game gear for pve.

Look, I've professionally pvp'd in a lot of games and I have absolutely no problem with grind. It's inevitable and if done well it can give you something to aspire to. The problem I have is USELESS grind and zero progression. I guarantee you this system wasn't put in place to encourage players, but to stall them and drag out subs. I regrind pvp gear every season in WoW and I do it with a smile. But this? This is utter bs.

They will most likely lift the level requirement of the animal gear, since they have slowly removed requirement from other equipment as the rank increases. However I do believe the rank requirement of some gear is necesary as a reward for people who have been dedicated enough for it.

Also unlike the other PvP games, the skins are mainly cosmetic as the stats are locked anyways.

Dude....are you serious? Its NOT that hard to get rank 45. PvP gear does help you twink in front lines. It is not useless unless you have full i120+ gear with the desired off stats which in most cases the pve gear has accuracy which is useless. Right now pvp 110 gear is bis in almost all cases for frontline gear. And there is clear PvP progression especially if you just hit 50 and don't have any decent pve gear yet. Not to mention ranking up your skills helps tremendously.
