Battlegrounds is the new PvP - but not in way you think based on title....

I don't mean BG is now the better / more popular form of PvP. I mean that many aspects of PVE will yet again be nerfed or drastically changed due to real or perceived 'imbalances' within BG play.
To be fair, I am not saying entirely one sided that only PVP influences how PVE is balanced, it also goes other way around too.
Simply that as the new attraction and new form of PVP option, BG will add even more pressure to the already cooking pot, and will spur (yet again) many unwanted changes to PVE for the sake of BG 'balance'
There are already threads started about changing potions/poisons. The usual skills/classes change petitions will follow.
Whether you believe PVP influences PVE nerfs more, or vice versa is irrelevant. Which side influences or gets changed the other more is meaningless as long as you agree it does influence the unwanted balance changing to one side due to the pressures of the other. Therefore the only reasonable solution is to balance PVE and PVP separately.
Whether BG needs a 3rd separate skills system I will leave to the BG vs Cyro crowd to debate. But Cyro+IC+BG should have entirely separate skills/mechanics than PVE - otherwise we continue what the title of this thread suggests --> that with introduction of BG, we will have yet again more PVE nerfs for the sake of 'balancing' BG play.

pattyLtd✭✭✭✭✭There is no denying that things get nerfed because of this and its one of those things they seem to are dedicated too stick too. They really dont want to seperate the two wether thats good or bad, i am not sure tbh.
I personally think having more skills perform slightly different against players would go a long way for this.
I like to play both and if i like to play as good as i can its already quite a pain to get ready for pvp.
Completely seperate skills or maybe a third morph could work too but then they really need to add the possibility to save builds so we can just change to it with a simple click lol.English is not my native language, no grammar police please, tyvm0
