2.4 PvE Tokens for PvP Gear

by Gamer at February 17th, 2008 in PTR | No Comments »

With the recent unlocking of the gates on the US PvE Public Test Realm, several new vendors are now available. These vendors allow you to hand in Tier 4, Tier 5, and Tier 6 tokens (tokens drop from boss kills) for Season 1 Gladiator gear, Season 2 Gladiator gear, and Season 3 Vindicator “honor” gear (belt, bracers, and boots). Additionally, you may not use Badge of Justice to buy Season 2 “honor” gear (40 badges for boots and belt, 25 badges for bracers).

• Tier 4: Gladiator Season 1
• Tier 5: Gladiator Season 2
• Tier 6 (Mount Hyjal, Black Temple): Gladiator Season 2
• Tier 6 (Sunwell): Season 3 Vindicator “honor” gear (belt, bracers, and boots)

This is an interesting change that may help to calm PvE players that often complain that PvPers get their gear so easily. PvE players can get PvP gear without having to step into Battlegrounds to farm honor. Furthermore, PvE players that may have been hesitant to take arena seriously due to lack of time to farm honor can now continue to PvE and receive the rewards that way. I think this is a welcome change and I don’t think that anyone on either side (PvE or PvP) can argue against it.
