It was fun getting some WSG to pop this weekend. I’m glad I got my rank before SoD came out. It’s going to be terrible to push for rank come Nov30. At least for 3 to 6 months. lol
Yes this is my point. The honor required to achieve rank 14 should be fluid. I don’t know how blizzard could do this but just like that post above, it will be impossible to rank to 14 during SOD if the ranker has a full time job.
Grats on getting to your R13 goal!
Blizzard probably will need to lower the amount of honor required (it’s “really” 413k. right?). Will they? Who knows.

Not even raiding is this time consuming. Ranking to 14 shouldn’t require anyone to spend 12+ hours on their weekend.
Thanks. =) It’s all I wanted and its great that I can actually push to r14 at a later date if I choose too.
I thought they will drop it but who knows. They do need to consider same faction bgs… cuz the same problem that happen to the horde in TBC is happening to alliance in Era.
There is a fine line cuz it shouldn’t be super easy neither. Only reason I had to play 12+ hours on weekends was because I couldn’t play during the week.

Well before 1.14 ranking to 14 was a goal only people who would / could do that were able to achieve. And it was a lot more than just 12h on the weekends, it was nearly everyday for a month.
With 1.14 it became significantly easier like 1/3 to 1/4 of the commitment compared to ranking in 1.12 but still a climb - especially if the queues are slow.
At this point basically everyone that wanted rank 14 gear has it and it has little prestige left - so they could just remove decay altogether and it would be much easier for people to push rank 13 to 14 even with slow queues.
The sucky thing is that the easier it becomes the worse rank 14 players are - it just takes a long time to become really good at a class and the current system doesn’t really force players to play enough to get to those levels. Also, in 1.12 the community would basically self-select who got the highest brackets and they were rarely bad players.
So idk what is best, but I feel like we may as well just give people the gear so if they are bad, at least they are bad in good gear and it carries them a little bit. Whatever improves the quality and amount of pvp games more I support.
I am willing to bet 1% were good.
Horde had 3 hour AV queues almost all classic vanilla. We didn’t complain about it
The truth is . Anyone who wants to be 14 already is and done. Playerbase is probably 10% what it was when the new ranking system came out.
Play on the popular faction deal with the consequences
In my experience the majority of rankers with top bracket slots were pretty far ahead of the average pvp player.
Especially when the meta was mostly WSG and they were running with a group.
classic vanilla? lol
Anyways… TBC would like to have a word with you and it carried over into Wrath. (or was it in wrath?) I dont remembe when the horde same faction bgs came out. lol
TBC. Because horde literally couldn’t play the game.
At least alliance in era can go world pvp for honor
I dont know… in my experience there were few that were any good at their class but excel in group combat.
My point was… Horde cried about it and Blizzard changed it… I am willing to bet Alliance can cry about their queue times and blizzard wont do a damn thing.
Yes because it’s era… which they’ll never touch like that
TBC was full of changes. Made complete sense.
They would if it were Horde crying. lol
Well most of the time having 1v1s in WSG is straight griefing your team.
Nothing is worse than a player who thinks they are good because they kill someone in WSG or had a good k/d ratio when they ended harming their team by killing someone who was just trying to get back to their side of map faster.
Like they kill an OOM priest who will rez and be able to escort the EFC because they are playing with zero brain and think that kills are important, or they put a DOT on an EFC that is sapped / sheeped / rocket helmed with a FAP…
I was still posit a significant majority of rankers that pushed to 14, and were given slot by other rankers, were far better than the average player you will see in a BG (which is a pretty low bar).
A good chunk of them knew how to duel with their class to a good degree too.

Again… we had 3 hour AV queues all classic and they did nothing about it
How about get good + skill issue?
You had 3 hour queues cuz horde didnt queue for AV. Wasn’t an imbalance issue.
I dont care really. I just want the other bgs to start to pop. =)
mercenary mode fixes queue times.
Because alliance didnt queue you mean. Not our faults we smoked em.
