World of Warcraft PvP Gear: A radical rethink, explained

In a new blog post, World of Warcraft senior game designer Brian Holinka outlines a series of changes Blizzard is implementing in PvP gear for its next expansion pack, Legion.

It’s a radical rethink of how the developer handles gear — something which is the backbone of the World of Warcraft experience, as Holinka writes: “One of the foundations of the game is being rewarded for your efforts with gear that makes you stronger.”

It’s also a brief history of how the company has tackled the gear issue, and worth read for that reason, too. you can check it out at the official World of Warcraft blog.
