I think this is now functioning as designed...

"Fixed" tomorrow allegedly.

Because they want more of the game to be accessible to casual players. My suggestion allows that and still keeps gear progression intact for actual PvPers.

Bolster is easy to fix at 55 if they would just do this: 1. Wearing a PvE piece gives you no more than 2/3 the total available expertise for that slot. Keeps you from getting steam rolled, but doesn't put you on par with PvP gear completely. 2. No gear in a WZ can be better than the highest current PvP tier. Scale the gear according to the tiering in the game: Highest PvE gear becomes highest PvP level with 2/3 expertise (see above). Scale down accordingly for additional levels of gear. Boom. Done.

Oddly enough I was just logging in to make a similar post. Mine would have likely been locked and I would have gotten a temp ban, so this is better. I understand wanting to make the PvE crowd "competitive" in PvP, but you guys honestly don't have any clue how to make that happen it seems. So here is what I propose: 1. No PvE piece can be bolstered above a Conqueror piece in stats in a WZ. In fact, bring them down to Conqueror level if they are above that. 2. No PvE piece gets more than 66% of that slot's Expertise. Period. There is no reason to let people have 1900+ expertise if they can't spend the time to get PvP gear.

This HAS to be taken off of ranked WZs at the very least. It should be gone from all 55's as well, but that's problematic since you changed the WH/EWH gear...

Although the game runs fine in Parallels, I would welcome a native OS X client.

It's already in the options menu. Can't remember where exactly, but it is in there.
