From what I’ve read on the general official wow forums (despite the source) due to the amount of talk I have more reason to believe that there will be “No epics from BGS”. Only arena may you receive epics. At first I figured it was a troll post but more and more people are flooding in making new posts about it, I think this is the real deal.

If I was a single boxer, I would be forced to quit the game if this does go live. The reason being is the times I play. I can never find a group, also I don’t enjoy arena at all. It’s not that it’s a fair fight or anything else it’s just a small duel instanced to me isn’t as fun. There no elements of surprise there is no “war” so to speak just a small duel. There is no war; no creeping up behind some hill and raining down AOE as a caster, none of the stuff that makes wow what it is for me. Blizzard is now forcing everyone in to the arena grind if you want PVP gear.

After reading the very disturbing news, I figured before I jump overboard let me look at this logically. Perhaps this could be a “Buff” for boxers. Outside of arena if no PVP gear exists (other than blues lol) then couldn’t PVE gear be valuable again? Wouldn’t that give boxers an edge in this case since we can farm gear pretty easily? Again I’m trying to look at this from a positive angle.
Pre Battle grounds I remember I used to play a rogue, I’d spend all night LFG only to realize that 50% of the server was rogues, I know because every single reply I received was “Sorry full on Rogues”. My once fun character was no longer fun after people started getting instance gear; while I was in level 45 greens. I was forced to reroll and picked Hunter. I was actually able to get groups once in a while and I found myself able to compete and enjoy the game for a while until Guilds started getting MC and BWL on farm. Which point the problem resurfaced. Long story short to combat this problem I would reroll play till 50 (before any epics entered the picture) Once I hit 50 I’d reroll again, sometimes even the same class. I did this just for the pvp experience leveling up to 50 as it was even experience, and most of all fun!

Today I have means to run almost anything I want (5man). Will that hold some wealth in the future? I really hope so. I or anyone else shouldn't be forced to play something they don't enjoy to advance imo. I enjoy instances so if that works to compete then it works for me.
