The recent changes to the Honor system have been great, making ranking more equitable and humane. However, it’s obvious that the new system was rushed, and still has issues with cutoffs, and the time required to rank for the larger faction.
I’ve put a lot of thought into solutions for these problems without coming up with a solution. I guess my subconscious has been mulling it over, too, because last night I was dreaming about spamming AV when an elegant, easy solution occurred to me. It was so exciting that it woke me from my dream and I wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget. Here it is, in it’s entirety:
Remove honor decay.
Not only will this remove the need for complex, arcane calculations to determine the honor you need to rank up each week, it opens the ability for EVERYONE to rank up. Just think of how this will increase PvP battleground participation. Everyone will be rewarded for their time with better gear AND cool PvP titles.
Note to Blizzard devs: I will happily pay the $87 it will cost to have someone from Upwork program this change. Hit me up, you have my contact info.
Why remove decay when they’ve already made the change that you can’t derank, especially when in most ranks, you only need one week at cap.
I agree that the changes have some positives, where maybe the biggest one that would appeal to the most casual crowd is the no de-ranking, but adding no decay seems a little too far lol
in other words, what is that “fixing” other than just making it easier than it already is? Tons of people are getting the cap even on alliance (last week 400+ ppl had over 400k honor, being a conservative estimate), so I’m not sure what even warrants that kind of fix.
also, nothing is “cool” about a pvp title, especially now kekw
I agree - sorry I should have worded that better - it’s not an “easy” or like “quick” grind by any means (and frankly the fact that it’s almost entirely dependent on a single battleground or killing bots probably makes it a lot worst). But then again, many many people get 500k every week, and at 13 you need 420 (unless fixed), such that there is an audience for that longer grind. Maybe if you can only play 2-4 hours a week, ranking just isn’t for you.
So, what I’m hearing is that you just want to gatekeep an almost 20-year-old game because you had to walk to school uphill both ways through five feet of snow when you were a kid.
I am trying to keep the game functioning properly.
I don’t think we need to break the games stability because Joe Schmo can’t play more than 2 hours a week.
Screw joe. rather have a proper functioning server. I was all for making ranking easier and it is. If you can’t play the game besides when you brush your teeth that’s your problem
wtb fix for that
