Comments on: How Resilience Ruined WoW PVP

Hello!
I am actually one of those players who haven’t experienced pre-BC nor have ever been part of a big raid on a major city. In fact, all I have done in WoW which has felt truly “great” or “epic” was beating up a few people in BG’s who were packing this kind of gear. What annoys me to bits is how the gear is farmed, it takes no amount of skill nor “other than PvP” farming to gain these sets. I would prefer to go on a hunt for the legendary swrodsman who betrayed his combat squad in the heat of battle and kill him for his sword? But that aspect is just plain nowhere except for in lower lvl PvP, and guess what – they now have something called Heirloom gear which can be farmed by your powerful lvl 80, then mail it within the account. The gear has no lvl req and scales with the wearer’s lvl. This gear basically makes you a twink for which ever level you are and there is little if not no gear which can compete with it no matter how much you grind or farm which no one does since they won’t use the gear in 3 levels :/ So as a new WoW player it kinda sucks since all the “vets” have such a nasty advantage not only on their good ol’ high lvl chars but now also on the new chars they make -.- when the fuck am I to feel equal to anyone?!

Clearly frustrated and annoyed – Yours sincerely Ellesarath Moonsnow

Im no dinosaur im all for cahnge but the direction their changing in is for noobs, period not for the entire community and most of the player base are noobs due to not playing earlier on in game and just joining and gettign the wrong concept of the game its beign deviated and diluted blizzard needs to make the game have a brain requirement most players cant even play up to par they dont even know what true skill really is thats why they whine nerf or op everytime or their biased towards their class and want nothing to counter their abilities its jsut a shit fest full of trolls and retards and great people near and far its bad really bad.

@ Tom mackinnon

No, he is actually right. resilience fucked the game up and by the way you’re a fucking scrub retard.

@ Tyrone

You’re no better then Tom. You can say anything constructive. All that you seem to know how to do is be a childish retard and throw stupid names around. Me calling you a retard is an exception.

I got tired of PvP. I started to goto BG’s with my PvE gear as many others. We lost much anyway, as the battle group was full of resilence horde, I mean arena brutes. Allies full of whiners and people who didn’t know half their spells. My paladin got 4 sets of gear and the resilence gear sucks, but is full of resilence. That stat is finally gone now. 2 million honorpoints wasted, but it looks cool. Maybe I roleplay a couple of months: “What! It’s gone?”

man i couldnt agree more. i was reading up on this because i like to pvp but wasnt sure what resilience really was and wanted to make sure. WoW i still so fun but they did fuck shit up. not to mention its annoying having everyone go after the same tier sets in the same raids. everything is so repetitive. it is sad. everyone is so hyped up on this new gear score system too. i never played pre BC but i can appreciate waht it once was because i hate the new shit as much as all the old schoolers. RIP = (

I can only mourn the days before resilience and the arenas.

In those days I had fun in pvp, TONS OF FUN.

i had 100k VH+ before BC. stopped pvp after resilience+arenas.

I agree with Pallondo. I just enjoy leveling within the old world to 60.
The fact that I can get lost exploring,and leveling. Taking different routes or the same, keeps me still here with WoW. I dont know what the future holds with me playing but i do not play my 80 anymore. looking for a new Wow to play any ideas?

I have been playing for a lil less then 2 years. In that time I have mainly run BG’s. In fact, PvP is the only interesting aspect of WoW for me. I to started on a PvP server. B4 WOLK, getting camped by 60+’s as a 20 was not a great aspect, but I delt with it, for a while. Just b4 WOLK hit, 70′s, knowing that there was much better content instore, stoped raiding and commenced unceasing camp fests on anyone they could find. Prompting me to leave the server for medive. By this time, I had several toons that were pretty well geared at lower levels, and I took to twinking. With the idea of twinking, one could set themselvs apart through a focused effort by attaining gear that simply was to “HARD” for the common person bent on getting to 80 to bother with. Blizz then kills the twinks. Essentially. All content lower than 70 is completly pointless. Nobody bothers running the lower end raids or world bosses, cause though the content is as difficult as ever, the rewards are simply worhtless when you can get quest greens within five levels that kill your pretty epics. Competition in the BG’s is absolutly horrible, due to the massive influx of people whos only interest in PvP is the break it offers from questing and leveling. + the advantage of gaining xp at the same time. Consiquently, the “team” aspect is gone, JUST GONE. Its every man for himself with no coordination or communication. Accept for the infintile commments from peopel who have the brass to call everyone noobs in one breath, then ask what they are supposed to be doing the BG they just joined. Yes, its that bad. Everyone has the shittiest gear you can imagin, because there is no point in working or ginding for better gear you will out grow by tomorrow. The only thing that kept me going was the hope that getting a toon to eighty would allow me to be competitive again. However, I was dismayed to discover that getting purps at 80 can be accomplished by stubbing your toe. And this is the real truth. Not only does EVERY SINGLE 80 have the same epic gear, it is madatory for you also to have the gear to be little more than average. True, ther are still epics that are much harder to attain then the new welfare epics everyone is wearing. And the best part of it all is, it all comes right back to the same ass thing that Blizz was ultimatly trying to kill. There will always be a majority of people with average gear, Yes, epics at level 80 are the new greens. And a small minority of people with the “NEW” real epics that set them well ahead of the people they intend to slaughter. Only in order to for this to play out, everyone now must get to 80, and all of the content that came b4 it is just a mud bog and slog fest for new players to race through on thier way to mediocrity at level 80. Im sorry, but for me, WoW has lost its appeal. I know there are butt loads of people that I will call the zombie masses that still think wow is the shit. The only thing I can say about that is the huge influx of the newest WoW players have never experienced what wow once was. And I am disappointed knowing that I myself have missed probably the best time to be playing. Pre BC.

hehe 4 responces before someone said something constructive. I agree too, ressilience took a piss on pvp as we new it from good old Mc days. tops itself with the developer trying to balance pvp and pve still even tho they clearly want to keep the 2 gamemodes apart. Like US politics

I agree entirely. I miss the old days. I miss the honor ranking system and I miss when Resilience never existed. I never expected it to ruin WoW but it did. Hardcore.
