Wildstar Taugrim's Post about Wildstar Endgame PVP

I started following Taugrim while I was playing Warhammer Online since he did a pretty good job of producing useful content. He is a PVP-focused player and usually has opinions solely from that perspective. He recently posted an article on his blog about the flaws in Wildstar's endgame PVP (reddit link below).

I think he does a nice job of summarizing how I've felt about level 50 PVP. I had a blast in the level 6-49 PVP, but as soon as I hit 50 I quickly realized there was a huge gear gap in the practice battlegrounds that made it practically unplayable for me. I originally started looking at Wildstar because of the Warplots since I tend to enjoy large scale PVP more than arena style, but I quickly lost interest in this aspect of the game when I saw that I could not compete with other players because of my gear.

We'll have to see how Carbine implements these PVP changes. Until then, I'll just be a PVE healer <3

Yeah, being a more pvp oriented person I'm biding my time a bit waiting for some major changes in the system.
 
I really want to pvp. I dont want to win trade. Unfortunately, you cant keep up with the wintraders in gear and because of the huge gap, even if they are scrubs, your chances of beating them are insanely slim.
 
I really like Taugrim, and unfortunately I agree with everything he talks about, except for the "cosmetic only" rewards when referencing WoW. That's actually what I hated about GW2 pvp. I felt so unrewarded.
 
It's tough because I do like having gear progression that is meaningful but I also want an even playing ground.. Cosmetic PvP gear seems pointless to me.

Agreed. There definitely needs to be some kind of "carrot" but the implementation of the current pvp state is not ok.
