Cempa Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Its about that time in the progress of gear based MMO's when populated servers have a large number of well geared people and new players gimp the team, so people take a look and if they find 14k and below they just leave. Time for brackets BW....Gear based PvP is so WoW and so 5 years ago BW, grow up and stop copying WoW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheg Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 What's funny, as a sentinel in full BM gear, I have a little over 15,100 hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibboo Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 In full recruit gear, my marauder was around 13.5K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zintiel Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I inspect people for badly geared baddies. Then I tell them where to find the recruit PvP gear vendor and explain how they will not be able to last in PvP without some PvP gear. I am not mean about it, I don't leave, and I don't tell them to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netskink Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 lulz, I saw a guy doing pvp as a jugg on my server yesterday wearing some lvl 20 gear. Yes, lvl 20 gear as a 50. I don't even know how that is possible to do but he manged to do so. I did not give him a grief but I did have to say "nice gear". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not mean about it, I don't leave, and I don't tell them to get out. I would never tell them to leave. I don't have an easy kill if they are gone. I've said it before, look around your teammates and inspect their gear in the lobby. Help the ones who have gear and focus on them when they are your opponent.

Not make complaining posts about how they are ruining PvP and such. Perhaps some people just don't know...help them out, by explaining it to them..!!!

If someone on my team isn't very well geared I will try to stick with them as much as possible under two circumstances. If I am in heal mode, or if they are a healer. That is how you earn your way into better gear; by supporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikrazy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I inspect people for badly geared baddies. Then I tell them where to find the recruit PvP gear vendor and explain how they will not be able to last in PvP without some PvP gear. I am not mean about it, I don't leave, and I don't tell them to get out. I realize I'm not very tactful and am better off just getting to the point: if your expertise is less than 500, I will call you out. I used to try whispers but people are like 'fu, you're mean', basically doing anything to change the subject without acknowledging that ultimately I'm right, even if it makes me a dick. What I've noticed is if that player has any aspirations of being a good player, they realize that not being properly geared drags their team down. These players that want to be helped will make it easy for me to give them some tips and directions. Those who only think about themselves will get defensive and upset at the fact that I've pointed out their weakness. Ultimately, this is offensive to anyone on the team that actually tries because these types of players tend to be deadweight anyway and must be carried by the rest of the team.

Perhaps some people just don't know...help them out, by explaining it to them..!!! I agree with the sentiment, but people get REALLY defensive when you mention that they are under-geared. They find every excuse they can for why they aren't geared up. I WANT to help new players. They just want to play the game the way they want to because they're selfish brats. I am going to keep calling them out until rated WZs come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for brackets BW....Gear based PvP is so WoW and so 5 years ago BW, grow up and stop copying WoW... Once they get cross server queues going it'd be nice if they could match people up based on gear, but requiring 15k hp simply isn't feasible. I think people should be required to wear pvp gear, but the recruit set won't even get a lot of people to 14k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there is only 1 running at a time you take what you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some people just don't know...help them out, by explaining it to them..!!! Me and my buddies tried that for some times. ALL our numerous attempts but one were responded with loads of aggressivity or stupidity, ONE person actually thanked us because he didn't knew about it and went buying some recruit gear, i even gave credits to this guy when i met him again and confirmed he upgraded some of his gear. From now on i just don't care and /facepalm them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call this the "Homeless Guy Excuse" Can't be bothered with making money to buy the gear, but they will continue to join PvP WZs. As an analogy, you wouldn't want to show up to a Hard More flashpoint or OP undergeared; why would you want to show up to PvP undergeared? Is it really hard to get 200-300k for most of the recruit gear? You don't even need the full set since after a few games, you'll be able to get some BM gear. Also, I think the 15k HP is arbitrary. The OP is just getting at the fact that loads of people are PvP'ing without the proper gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
