Anyone, from any faction, can flag for war mode and then go to a PVP area to kill each other. Once you’ve killed many, you get a bounty, and then all your friends, Horde and Alliance, get the loot: honor, bloody tokens, and conquest. Do this all day until you have a full set of gear. This needs to stop right now and those players need to receive a consequence for gaining advantage by exploiting the game.
This kind of thing is a drag and quite frankly makes me want to do something else other than play WoW.

Out of curiosity… when you have a bounty, why should a handful of Randoms get the bounty and more rewards than that of your group who have created the bounty? If you go 30-50 straight kills before death, why is your bounty worth considerably more than your accumulative 50 kills? If they wanna fix it they can straight up give the bounty rewards to the entire group when your char dies, including you.
But why? It is already do easy to get your bloody tokens and conquest ect.
Both Bloody Tokens and Conquest are time-gated and on a cap right now…you’re literally prevented from achieving a FULL set of PVP gear.
Also, the bloody token quest takes maybe 20 minutes to complete and you can get two pieces of gear from it.
Weird thing to quit over.

Current rumors are that it’s intended behavior. At least with the box drops but if it isn’t it’s probably something that will be stealth hotfixed.
OP, youre wrong, there is a cap on bloody tokens. Cant just farm a whole set. Bloody brawls of crazy fighting is SUPER FUN. You should go back to dungeons… just saying.

The first cap is 1350. The cap goes up to 1600 after your first purchase.
If you don’t want to wait for next week’s quest, try going to the PVP island with up to 40 other players (1 horde to 20 alliance ratio is my observed estimation), and spam kills so that eventually a bounty pops (approximately every 3-5 minutes). Collect Bloody Tokens AND Conquest.
If you don’t believe me, think about these:
- I only post on forums if there’s an actual problem.
- I pose this to you, why would those people spend hours upon hours at a location where a 20-minute quest is?
The only thing I have not personally tested is whether I can loot the same faction bounty loot. But I was in Discord with a person who said he did. The other thing I have not tested is if I can spend the next 1600 Bloody Tokens this week, but I know I can accumulate them. The only way to test that is to join the bounty spam exploitation.
If there is a work-around to earning pvp currency you must know many players will do it.
Conquest from bounties are on a daily loot lockout
Nvm seems like a bug
I’m still confused by the issue here.
Yes, the conq. cap is 1600 and you can’t get the weapon from it the first week. it’s always been that way. There’s the free one now, that you pointed out, or a crafted one.
Bloody tokens, no matter how long you’re out there, are capped. Doing the weekly quest pretty much gets you there itself.
Some folks stay out there 'cause open-mosh-pit-PVP is fun.
None of this is exploiting?

Yes, but this isn’t a bug. Bounties and War Supply crates are supposed to reward Bloody Tokens and Conquest.
The thing that people are saying here is that Bloody Tokens don’t work the same way they did in Dragonflight.
In DF, yes, you could just farm for Bloody Tokens, but you could only buy the blue/rare WM quality gear with it (the one that’s 3 PvP ilvls less than Honor gear.) To get the purple/epic WM quality gear (the one that’s 3 PvP ilvls less than Conq gear), you needed to obtain Trophies of Strife and Bloody Tokens, and the trophies were timegated (quest was up once a week).
In TWW, Bloody Tokens are the only currency needed to buy the Purple/Epic WM quality gear, however, Bloody Tokens are on a seasonal weekly cap similarly to Conquest. You can only obtain a set amount of Bloody Tokens in a week, once you’ve reached that cap, you cannot obtain anymore until next week (similarly to Conquest)
I mean, yes, you can obtain a good mix of WM gear / Conquest gear by doing this, but it’s not a bug or exploit by any means.

We all know that bugs and coding mistakes happen. That being said, I hope you’re right and the caps are working. But the amount of activity in one region on one server begs the question. If there is a bug, does Blizzard know about it, and is it to be fixed?
I play this game to have fun. The prospect of exploiters knocking out players because they have better gear is annoying. It is indeed a frustration that lends to avoiding the play.
It’s a new season and a new week.
How are they exploiting the game? Nothing you said is an exploit and is intended. It’s just a side effect of the free for all PvP areas. They should remove the bounty system though.
No it doesn’t. Cap is hard capped at 1350 this week.
Only cap that is 1600 is conquest

Imagine assuming there is an exploit just because people are playing the game lol. You didnt even test this at all or get any info from anyone? Its capped… Conquest and tokens still show up on loot crates and bounties as if you get it, but you dont if you are capped…
Blood tokens are capped, nobody is going to be full blood token gear or conquest
