Releasing WSG leggings early, what are Your thoughts?

[Maric 2]

First off, let's try and keep this separate from the releasing pvp sets earlier suggestions. 

 

From the info i gathered, WSG leg slot items are to be released with the 1.11 patch. Seeing as AB items are coming next patch (they are, right?), with some really powerful caster items (staff which is better than anything in MC, it's a slightly downgraded Nef staff), why not release the rest of the WSG items as well and help the other classes? Power of these items is in line with the current progression, some would never even see play. Caster cloth is basically worse than preraid BIS blues, "rogue" leather is worse than T2 Bloodfang, and i'm guessing hunter chain would see some play until people have full T2. Both "druid" leather and paladin plate would be the only properly stated hybrid items at this point, making them desirable for anyone wanting to try some "offspec" builds, seeing as hybrid classes won't be seeing any items until 2.5 sets and the upgraded pvp sets. Warrior pants might be a bit on the strong side, as there are currently no crit/hit pants with that amount of str on them, but since fury get nothing from tiered sets it's fair to toss them a bone as well, besides getting exalted with WSG is no small task for non-ranking players, it's a fair reward for all the time invested. It's my belief that this small change will increase the amount of people wanting to pvp, give premades a larger pool of players to work with and provide good rewards for non-ranking players who want to set smaller goals unlike the R14 grind. 

 

So, is there any incentive to push for this or am i alone in this line of thought?

I support anything that promotes increased PVP, but I think this argument is not as strong as the upgrade blue gear gear, as beautiful as those Warsong leggings are.

The whole point of the Upgrade Blue Set argument is that you're not getting anything outrageously BiS; Instead you motivate the people who would like to PvP, but don't see a point in actively doing BGs because the currently PvP rewards are shit. The upgraded PvP gear is generally on par gear with what has currently been released, or at least the same as current dungeon blues. It gives you ways to itemize, but you're going to wear BWL gear if you can get it. The Warsong leggings are better or on par with AQ gear so that kind of breaks the argument they should be released before then, not that I don't agree they are awesome for warriors. 

The argument that you make for Time VS Reward is completely valid, hopefully the administration show the community that their servers are not just for raid logging.

Good luck seeing anything like this released before its Irrelevant , PvP will be next to dead before AQ is out.
