Like the title says. Its unfortunate that people on these fresh servers will have no opportunity to earn these amazing titles.

Please consider adding a way for us to do that.

That was a Vanilla title. If the toon wasn’t around in Vanilla Classic, it shouldn’t have it.

No reason blizzard can’t implement this in WOTLK and make it a WOTLK title. I mean, why did they get rid the entire Grand Marshall PVP system? It was fun as hell and really encouraged BGs

LOL. Naw. Maybe play the game (you know you can still get the title through SOM) and quit crying to blizzard for crap like a pleb.

It was beyond broken and encouraged extremely unhealthy behavior.

I’m pretty sure these titles are achievable in Wrath by hitting 80,000 honor kills.

Of The <Horde/Alliance> is 100k

Battle Master for getting all the meta achieves.

And Conqueror + all the Arena titles remain available.

Here is the steps to take

  1. Create character on season of mastery realm
  2. Level and pvp gaining rank along the way
  3. Get to lvl 60 take a month vacation pvp 24/7 earning grand marshall title
  4. Transfer season of mastery character with grand marshall title from som to wrath servers when it becomes available.
  5. Mission complete

Wait, did they nerf the title to only take a single month rather than 3 minimum? And are there even enough players in the pool to support one? And is there no one else going for it?

I barely made it to Rank 11 and I can confirm even in those earlier ranks it’s absurd how unhealthy this system was.

13

U can get to rank 11 before 60 which leaves about 4 weeks left to r14. I have no answers for the other questions cause i dont play som

14

As someone who only went to R11 with full intentions of stopping there, any title beyond 10 very much required the support of many people. Even if you were some solo BG hero who totally got R14 without ever doing a premade, you absolutely were not doing it alone.

The vanilla PvP system does not work without massive amounts of teamwork over long periods of time. Even more so for smaller servers like what I was on.

15

If SoM does not require a minimum of 3 months for R14, then anyone xferring to Wrath with a SoM R14 title should have it downgraded, imo.

lol no

I agree with you, most people won’t.

I LOVED ranking. More than the PVP it was the people I met, there are several people who I ranked with that I still keep in touch with. Seeing the people go through the highs and lows was something. There was a real PVP community on each server. It was intense and crazy but that made it just really fun and interesting for me. Not static, not boring, not self-focused. The memories I have and will continue to have are mostly awesome. I binged and I will never regret that.

This is a pretty rare opinion but it’s true for me. Today the PVP may be about “the skill” but is incredibly self-focused or only with a few others and that’s a lot more boring for me. I have a pretty high played time in Classic but have only played TBCC about 12 hours in the last 3 weeks to raid. I don’t expect to play a lot of WotLK either because I don’t expect to have that same level of fun.

Anyway, what ranking is not is WotLK and there’s no chance of it coming into WotLK. Nelgastos is right on the SoM option… but who knows about transferring to the fresh servers that I know you want to play on.

People have made threads about supporting RBGs and there are the titles there. That’s a different playstyle but still with a team and playing the BG maps which are still something… RBGs probably won’t be added for WotLK C either though.

Overall the title doesn’t really matter and no one cares about it so maybe focus on other ones you like.

Part of the fresh experience is that you start over though – and that no one has that stuff from Vanilla. So I’ll say no this time. It’s worth noting the titles will be back for Classic Cata.

This is what I liked about it. This made it fun.

That was fine.

But between pool sizes on small servers, bracket breakers, beating decay to get your desired title within a reasonable amount of time, and it being solely a competition against your own faction, it was a very poorly thought out system.

Surely we can have community encouraging PvP without seeing people play themselves into poor health conditions, yeah?
