WiltenRose Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've seen a number of posts since the lvl 50s were separated out from the rest of the PVP community that some people will resist getting to 50 because they enjoy the gameplay of 1-49 PVP better. Perhaps part of that concern will be addressed in the re-balancing of PVP gear coming down the pipe, but I would like to offer an alternate suggestion: Allow a lvl 50 player, when cuing for a warzone, to choose between General PVP and 50s bracket PVP. If they choose General PVP, any 50-specific bonuses they would normally have from their gear, etc. would simply not apply. It would be as though they were a lvl 49 character in lvl 49 gear. In this way, a lvl 50 player could still do pvp with their lower level friends, and if they were not interested in chasing the end-game PVP gear, they would not feel the bite of it. I think if something like this was done, you could worry less about the discrepancy between 50s decked out in BM gear, and those that are not. It would allow less experienced/geared 50s to still make progress in PVP and reserve the 50s bracket for those that are really serious competitors and gear chasers. In order to add incentive, so that most 50s wouldn't abandon the top bracket, I would suggest making sure the rewards for a lvl 50 playing in the 1-49 realm should be a good bit less than if they play in the 50s bracket.

McBinary Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 50's should definitely be in a separate bracket, they have some serious gear/ability advantage. Turning off leveling has a problem as well though, because this starts twinking which again has the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocdogg Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 As per Gabe'n'Georg, they are working on making life easier for new level 50s in endgame PvP. If you don't want to play level 50 PvP, roll an alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
