The only way to gain Reputation with WSG is to cap a flag or turn in marks. Working as intended.

Before Rep from a win is 35 and rep from a loss is 10. now its 0. It’s even in the comments on the bottom of that guide.

Perhaps they it is a change to make it more inline with Vanilla then? I honestly don’t remember if winning/losing gave rep in classic, I didn’t really pay that much attention.

It is quite possible that I am wrong, and will edit if I am.

35 for winning is gone. Always felt the 10 for losing needed an increase for the amount of premade stomps happening.

I thought I remembered losing giving you rep back in the day, since I mostly lost due to all the premades that were in there, and knowing it would take a really painful amount of time to hit exalted with so many losses.

But I live in a legal state, so I admit my memory isn’t what it used to be and could be wrong.

I was always under the impression that the only thing that gave you rep was a flag cap. It seems that there was a consolation 10 rep for losing and a bonus for winning. However, I am not sure if that is true to Vanilla or a Classic oversight…every reputation guide I have found has no mention of it. /shrug.

Like I said, this is something I could be wrong on…or at least in my Mandela Effect
alternate reality it was only flag-caps.

looks like the adding of Arathi Basin reverted WSG to an earlier form where yeah, the only way to get rep during the game was to cap a flag. It was a later version (likely the 1.12 that everyone hates) that added the rep of 35 for the win and 10 for the loss.

In this case, you’re correct. This WSG reputation at match completion was a recently discovered bug, that did not reflect the behavior in the 1.12 version of the game, so when we discovered it, we fixed it. You are only supposed to get reputation for flag captures.

I apologize that this wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes.

So we just went a ahead and fixed the glitch.

Bill Lumbergh:
Great.

Dom Portwood:
So um, Milton has been let go?

Bob Slydell:
Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won’t be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally.

Bob Porter:
We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem solved from your end.

You guys let this go on for months and let all the premades hit exalted while pugs still struggle through all the premades. This is a stupid change after months of the 10 rep for losses. I’d understand if it was week 1, but this is months later.

Ok… but of all the things to fix… this is one of them that you picked to work on? LOL

When you wait for AB to release so you can grind WSG rep with less premades vs pug but then they nerf rep gains the day before. Oof.

Try winning. That’s how you get rep. Capture some flags. You can do it if you try instead of ghosting.

can you guys be more vocal and talk about the issues of classic? Seriously, why are you so scared of backlash, we would all be WAY more appreciative and secure about this company if you guys would just communicate with your customers.

Wow is this for real? 0 rep for a loss? Honestly, it’s going to take me a good month or so PLUS grinding wsg to get exalted. I was depending on that 10rep on a loss to get exalted since alliance rarely wins wsg with all the premades. Even when its a pug alliance mostly takes a L. Big woop this is stupid.

I think you may be thinking BC era with PVP 2.0 where you got something even if you lost?

I think we have been getting away with a bug this whole time

edit
nm, i see blue post clarifying that we have been getting away with a but the whole time.
