ppl play the game for the loot
pvm gear isn't worth much so i'd probably need an example of a whale that isn't hoarding pvp gear to understand what you're talking about
my point isn't that whales are playing pvp. they are trying to accumulate rare and high roll items that are mainly used in pvp
that actually was a side point, my main point was that when the pvp is balanced the pvm will be inherently balanced, trying to do it the other way around you get phrases like "feels strong" like it's completely unempirical. the old devs were smart they attempted to balance pvp for a reason.
Pvm whales are just people who want items. The draw is progression and gambling, not pvp gameplay
How much does 15/3 400grief vs 399grief matter in PVP? I'd argue it makes no difference. price difference can be 10x though
Why are 45life lightning charms worth anything?
Why are warlock items worth something when warlock pvp doesnt exist outside of random pub bm?
