World of Warcraft’s PvP game is getting a helping hand come next week’s Patch 7.1. The devs said that they are trying to encourage players to participate more by increasing rewards gained and making potential rewards easier to see.
“Artifact power rewards have been increased for PvP in Patch 7.1, and the user interface will now show you exactly how much you’ll receive for a victory,” Blizzard promised in a dev blog this week.
Players also will receive bonus honor in the first round of any given PvP activity for that day. Even better, battlegrounds will start paying out gear comparable to what PvE players have been getting through world quests. The final adjustment to these rewards comes with rated PvP, as World of Warcraft will deliver gear based on a player’s best rating from the week prior.
