EU+US Battleground crate gear buff?

Anyone think that battleground crate gear may get a higher tier added?

Doesn't seem right that 2nd tier invasion gear (WF+5) > batteground crate 1st tier, particularly with the BG gear not covering all the armor slots. Would be nice if BG crate gear 1st tier were lvl 31 or 32. Unfortunately, I don't have any good reason to believe Blizz would care about this.
 
It won't get changed. Blizzard never intended the invasion gear to be a permanent gear solution; it's meant as a quick way to gear up for Legion and some cool tmog sets. They won't change other gear based on how they compare to the invasions gear.

I have gotten shoulders and chest that are ilevel 34 and other warforged gear that is 29
 
Totally fine how it is.

If you missed out on Legion gear there's not much else you can do iLvl wise (at the moment).

The PVP crate blues aren't a bad alternative.

What "Legion gear" are you talking about? I just renewed sub, and I'm assuming I missed out on a ton of stuff. Are you saying that if I "missed out" on it, I'll never be BiS?

Yeah man, during the pre-release of Legion there were several "Invasion" events that took place in zones like Northern Barrens, Westfall, Hillsbrad, etc.

By entering the zone, Horde and Alliance players alike would clear 4 Stages together. The first and third stages were clearing Legion mobs that spawned in the zone, the third and fourth stages involved slaying Legion boss mobs.

At the end of the second and fourth stages, players who were in the zone received a chest item, which contained geared scaled to their characters level (all of the mobs in the zones scaled to your level as well, meaning any level eligible to do the invasions could participate in the effort until the end of Stage 4).

The gear contained in those chests were blue fel-gear, however if you were lucky the chest would proc and you'd received a Warforged or Titanforged version of the piece of gear you got.

The fel-gear item levels are as follows:
Normal blue: item level 24
Warforged blue: item level 29
Titanforged blue (it will still display as "Warforged" next to the item): item level 34

TL;DR
You could AFK in the zones or participate for the 2nd stage and 4th stage chests to try and get pieces of the item level 34 gear (the PVE stats on it are superior to BoA and other pre-BiS gear before invasions) which, in turn, was the best in slot for Battlegrounds since BG stats scale off of your characters item level now, instead of actual equipment stats/enchants.
This gives players who have full Warforged gear a significant advantage in PVE, and a slight advantage in BG stats as well.
There's no other way to obtain the fel-gear anymore as of this moment.

Hope that helps fam.

Bruuuuh....

Alright well that sucks >.<

Are 19s the only twinks that are vastly affected by warforged? Because I literally can't deal with not being BiS so I might as well move on to the next bracket xD

If they didn't have better PvE stats on them than pre-legion BiS, I think it would be easier to cope with... I can deal with having 0.1% less of anything than the next guy. But duels and shit... man, anyone who missed out on that gear will get blown out of the water.

They are only affected outside of bgs for duels etc, even with full warforged gear inside a bg the stat difference is literally 1 stamina.

Yeah, the whole BG part doesn't bother me at all. I understand the concept of instanced PVP now, and I get that it's just a few fractions of a stat.

It just kinda blows that World PVP for 19s won't be the same against players with legion gear

Inb4 skill > gear
