BG Hero grovelling

All I see on these boards lately is BG heroes grovelling for wrathful gear. The reason you do not get the top end arena gear is because it rightfully has a skill requirement. If that requirement was not there, people would have nothing to achieve in arena, or in BGs.

In vanilla it used to be a grind requirement, meaning you had to be unemployed for months for the Grand Marshal weapons. This was far, far worse than the current system where if you are skilled enough, you don't need to put as much time in. Its also fairer in the sense that there isn't an extreme amount of premades facerolling you BG heroes into the dust where you belong.

To make even more concessions, Blizzard have allowed relentless gear to be accessable through frost badges. So even if you're low skilled, you can still be low skilled and do well at PvE if your situational awareness is bad. There are therefore two routes to top end arena gear:

1) Doing moderately well at arena (Medium-High skill requirement)
2) Joining a raiding guild (low skill requirement, medium time committment requirement)

This beats the vanilla method: grind until you die of boredom in BGs. It is not hard nowadays to get top end PvP gear, and yet all I see on the boards is cry and whine for free handouts. If you can't participate in the two routes which Blizzard have set out for you to get the gear, when raid videos, pvp videos are available from top pve/pvp'ers, you are undeserving of having the gear. There is no argument.

No one wants to play an MMO where every bad has equal gear regardless of skill. If Blizzard did that, everyone would reroll some RTS game. We're here to do as we do IRL; get wealthy and show off in front of bads that we are better than them. Don't like it? don't play an MMO. Or start putting effort in to get the gear which isn't hard to get.

But for gods sake stop asking for free handouts, its like walking in a subway and getting the usual tramps spamming SPARE CHANGE PLEASE?
