it may not be as fast as the teams that put forth a real effort and play correctly, but in the end, you'll have gear that is only marginally worst than those people with high personal ratings.

seriously, you don't even have to win a single game, it's retarded.

when bosses start dropping epics and set pieces after 10 wipes, you'll have a case.

PvE is earning your gear, is an accomplishment.

PvP is a joke, as you said, balance doesn't exist so *yank yank*

I like the rating change, it means people will finally stop making throwaway arena teams for free welfare epics.

thank god.
If you ever feel like stepping up and being part of the big boy discussion, feel free. This isn't the wow forums, so that "QQ arena is welfare epics" elitist bullshit isn't going to fly. I actually took you off my ignored posters list thinking you were going to provide examples of why you think PvE is so much harder and impressive than PvP.

From someone that has little to no interest in PvE, I don't understand what infuriates you so much about seeing me standing around in a major city in my epic PvP gear waiting for a BG queue to pop.

I just wanted to point out how ironic their tournament server is. You pay a fee to have the same class selection/gear as anyone else.

The first time someone pointed it out to me, and all I could think of was "So I have to pay more money for fair PvP?"
