1. WG gear is old and outdated.
2. Keeper Shards are useless for most part.
3. Honor gear is way behind.
4. No weapons for BGers.
5. Arena is stale and a niche sport
Meanwhile PvErs are on their 5th Badge vendor and constantly getting new content added. Know why you need to buff resil? Because you keep adding so much pve crap that its letting players nuke pvpers in full resil within seconds anyways. 5 bagde vendors and you still have only ever upgraded the pvers like once in comparison. Im not complaing about pve do not get me wrong because you actually did pve right this expansion but you have completely neglected pvp.
Solutions
1. Add WG items. Should be one main piece non set bonus. And periodically an upgrade for any other slot. Every 4 weeks add a single new item. That really is not much when you think about it.
2. Add stonekeeper items. We should have heirloom legs added. Make them 350 shards. We should have pvp head and shoulder enchants for 75 shards each that are different from other chants. Add metas that are 200 shards and unique and good not crap
3. Remove the arena rating req from honor gear. Its failed to entice more people to arena. Most pvpers really do not care for or about arena or havent you been able to tell yet? I figured the fact that arena has been dead this ENTIRE expansion would have told you that. Time to stop punishing the majority of pvpers.
4. Put previous season Arena gear on honor vendors. Make the cost 50k per item. This allows most pvpers to properly gear and still rewards arena players with the best gear. So what if BGers can get a tier behind. True pvpers like challenges anyways.
5. Put previous season Arena weapons on honor vendors. Make cost 75k mh- oh 50k. Make each also cost 50 of each BG mark. THIS IS CRUCIAL. Arena players will still arena for current season. Non raiders will be encouraged to pvp
6. Keep 2 seasons behind vendor up . to give a low cost budget option for casual pvpers.
7. Lengthen the duration of deserter to 1 hour. If you get 2 debuffs in a 24 hour period, make the debuff last 6 hours. If you get 3 debuffs in a 24 hour period, give a 48 hour debuff. If you get 7 debuffs within a 5 day period, give a 7 day debuff. This will help eliminate
8. Make every item also cost some of each BG mark. Like bracers, 30 of each mark. This forces players to have to do different bgs and actually try to win instead of honor grind. This is a big reason WHY you have afkers.
9. WG queues. COUNT THE QUEUES. If you have 90 of one faction queue and only 30 of the other, then only allow 35 of the majority to actually enter. Its ridiculous. Stop letting one side over queue. Keep the queues within 5 or 10 of each other.
10. Do not give ANY honor to anyone who does either no damage or healing in a BG. Award the honor only when the BG ends. This also prevents people from hopping bgs when a different one queues. It might suck to dc and lose honor but its a small infrequent price to pay.
11. Do not allow people to leave the bg for another one. Its all or nothing. They queue and they go. When they enter a bg erase any other queues
12. Put in a RANDOM BG queue. You get honor and a mark as normal if you lose but if you win you get extra honor, an extra mark and maybe something cool like heal or mana potions that can only be used in bgs. Only pair up people who also did random unless the queue is taking too long. In other words, lets say you are 10 short each side in a random av, do not add people who specifically chose av until the queue hits like 5 minutes. If it hits 5 minutes then fill in the bg as needed.
You do my suggestions and pvp is revived in glorious fashion. Because right now, PvP is in fact dead. PvP guilds are dead. BGs are dead. WG is so screwed up on most servers due to population figures. Bring back premades. Give people a reason to queue for bgs again! and not just for a month either!
