Gear Matching for BG's Update?

#0 - Feb. 9, 2007, 2:58 a.m.

I know that at one point there had been a big todo over gear matching in battlegrounds. A feature that would scan your bank and the gear that you were wearing ((there were other variables but I don't recall them)). Originally it had been meant to come out with the BC, but was then pushed to a later update.

I was trying to show my girlfriend 10-19 BG's today in order to get her interested, and basically she sort of brushed me off after I got one shotted by three times by a -insert generic name with 'twink' in it here- of <insert generic twink guildname here> Rogue with White and Purple Glowsticks and easily over 1300 HP.

I'm not trying to degrade twinks to be honest, though- whatever twinks say they prefer to play other twinks missed out as this individual bypassed every level 19 on my team and went directly for lower levels...but that is a whine for another day.

Basically, I'd just like to know if we can still expect Gear Matching in the future or if this is just something that sounded good at the time and has been quietly swept under the rug.

The matching system is currently on schedule for the next major content patch. As anything, that is of course subject to change, but we're doing what we can to ensure it's release.

Q u o t e:
Besides, I thought the twink mantra was 'Twinks want to fight other Twinks'.

The good ones yes, and there are quite a few which will appreciate this change. The others, well - "Some of them act badly because they've had a hard life, or have been mistreated,but ... some of them are just jerks."
