PvP Battlegrounds Weapons ("Gladiator" weapons?)

Czirne

Hello everyone,
As many of you know, there used to be a time when people could get master weapons by participating in Cyrodiil warfare. For a longest time it is not an option anymore. Implementation of battlegrounds into the game is a great opportunity to indroduce new "one piece set weapons" like Master weapons and Maelstrom weapons.

Some unique, but nice looking - not a curved swords, sword-like looking battleaxes nor reddish steel anywhere(rubedo weapons looks so dumb...), but nice loooking weapons based on looks of real medieval weapons.
Yea, and you dont even need to think about what enchancement it should have, i will tell you: "Reduces damage you take from damage proc sets by 30%" and of course weapon damage/spell damage 189.
Could you make it happened, Zenimax?

I correct you: Reduces damage you take from damage proc sets by 100%"

I am fine with 30%! We (pvpers) need something more rewarding than 3k ap!

This would certainly be interesting, and I'd be happy to see more PvP sets!

Might as well make them the next actual master/maelstrom weapons. I mean, they already wasted thousands of hours of people's time grinding a solo PvE instance for BiS weapons :^)

I probably would not go there - at least until some rating system is introduced. You see, at the moment is easy to be at top battleground leaderboards - all you need to do is play a lot, and it does not matter how good or bad are you playing.

VMA and VDSA are dificult content, and you have to learn mechanics, and be good to finish those. If they make next actual vma/master weapons from battlegrounds, it would be much easier to get them at curent state of leaderboard ranking, and PVEer would be mad that they have to do pvp to get next BIS weapon.
On the other hand, with enchant that reduces damage from proc sets PVEer would not have to get those, and some new builds will be viable (basicly all the builds that would use maelstrom weapon atm, but are weak because proc - 2x five piece and weapon, 1x five piece, moster set, agility/endurance/willpower and weapon etc)

Completely agree with @Czirne

No, no and no, before they change how current leaderboards work. This grinding emperor-like excrement must go away. When they add leaderboard measuring how the player perform and not how much time he spends playing, than we can start thinking about adjusting rewards.

Yes, it can not be very hard to implement some rating system and base leaderboards on it.
