Ideas to increase character developement

[ludvigpasse]

I think character progression is a big part of wow, or any rpg based game whats so ever. Right now you can reach best in slot by just donating 10-27usd and then all kind of character developement stagnates. The only thing left is wep fragments which only affects the look on your weapons. This makes any form of honor/bojs/bg marks you farm (after you brought what you need) pointless. Any sort of progression just stops instantly. My idea is to create a sink for bojs/honor/bg marks while also creating some sort of minor character progression. How about being able to swap in X amouth of bojs/honor/bg marks for a wep fragment?

Now what about the idea of ontop of that also make a few (not all, but a few) of the sunwell loot items not currently avaliable for us, items that are good in both pve and pvp, be avaliable for around 350-400 wep fragments each or a 30-40usd donate?

The amouth of sunwell items avaliable from donate/wep frags should ofcourse be very limited, im thinking 2 per class, items that are better then s4 for both pve and pvp. That way there would be a long term character progression while not bringing back sunwell gear fully, and the imbalance that comes with it.

After all the effort done to finally remove most of SWP gear from Smolderforge..... Let's add it back!

But wait! Don't forget to add warglaives. Rogues need a buff after their kidney shot was bugged for nearly a day.

Would be nice if people atleast stayed on topic. Anyways, adding like 2 SWP items per class avaliable from a really high amouth of wep fragments is not really identical to adding all swp gear back into the game. Also if 2 peices per class is to much, how about just one peice? Just to create som sort of goal to reach after 150wep frags.

Imo the only good way of reintroducing sunwell gear would be opening SWP if the scripts actually worked.

The disadvantage with that (ontop of taking alot of time to get it working correctly) is that you would limit SWP gear to PVE-ers only on a PVP oriented server. Also you could get full SWP gear which creates PVP imbalance.

The idea im proposing is that first of you need the resources such as Bojs, Honor and BG-marks actually fill a purpose, right now the purpose stagnates really quickly. Especially if you basicly only do pvp since then there is no purpose of bojs for t6. I think that these resources needs to have some sort of longterm value/purpose, preferibly as a sink for wep fragments.

My idea is as follows:

Create a vendor which allows you to:

Swap 80 Bojs for one wep fragment
Swap 50k Honor for one wep fragment.
Swap 30WSG, 30AB, 30Eots and 5 AV marks for one wep fragment

Now this could be enough to create a feeling of character developement. If you want to take it one step further you could also add in 1 Sunwell item suitable for each class for primarily a pvp purpose, at the cost of around 300-400 wep fragments. This would create a sort of goal for players to reach beyond legendary xmog while not causing all the pvp imbalance full SWP gear did, in which it was removed from the game in the first place.

SWP is mainly PvE gear as far as i know so you make no sence. Arena dudes aren't expected to raid swp after all..

I dont know warriors s4 gloves stats ontop of my head but im willing to bet Borderland Paingrips is a better choise, even without the resil:

Is that enough examples for you, or do you need to me to post more? Ofcourse these suggestions are about best in slot for pvp, not only for pve btw.
