I think you’re drastically underestimating how hard 750k is going to be to farm for most people.
Easier yes, everyone…hell no.
Will anything be done about que times if you remember Horde had hour+ long queues for AV. WSG/AB more less will be pre-made like no other then if you’re waiting forever for one AV good luck getting the max honor for that week.

2 for AA 4 for Horde lol
It shouldn’t even be “easier” in the first place. The current pvp honor system is good as is for vanilla and it incentivizes people to go to low pop servers. As of right now, low pop servers are easier to rank on so if the new system was requiring a static 750K regardless of server size, that just reduces more incentives to roll on one.
750K is pretty easy on sweaty servers too. so it’s likea frankenstein of bad changes
They need to find a way to bring rank 15 into the game and the unused titles
For humans, Protector of Stormwind
For orcs, Overlord of Orgrimmar
For dwarves, Thane of Ironforge
For night elves, High Sentinel of Darnassus
For undead, Deathlord of the Undercity
For taurens, Chieftain of Thunderbluff
For gnomes, Avenger of Gnomeregan
For trolls, Voodoo Boss of Sen'jin

Any change we can select from the PvP titles we have? Since rank 14 will be easier to get instead of seeing warlords and HW all runing round be nice to use the other titles that dont get used often
No changes are needed for World of Warcraft Classic Era.

No, I feel the people that want there to be only one rank 14 just want to have the biggest WOW peepee, and gatekeep others. Find other ways to feel accomplished in life, I want HWL weapons to farm lowbie dungeons and kill mobs.

Not sure why they want to change or update anything on the classic era… figured it would just be in a time stasis forever… shrugs maybe there tryin’ to keep people on for a bit until the next SoM comes out… part of me likes this change since its easier to get the R14 gear…but I just can’t help but not want it even more though… to preserve the OG :|…

Eww this is garbage. Yea the old system wasnt great but this is worse. Now its like everything else stale and boring. Even tho the grind sucked on the old one it was unique and it made the game feel like an MMO because the world mattered. What others did effected what you did. This just makes PvP ranking play like a Single Player Game. Why are you doing major overhauls on Classic Era. This is something you put on Seasonal. Stuff like this is why Classic+ will be garbage. You got devs working on it that had nothing to do with vanilla and their only experience is Retail. People play classic because you already ruined Retail and retail is in prob the worst shape its ever been in. Everything thing feels pointless. Woo transmog, go and 1 shot a boss is hard to get loot everyone else already has. Nothing means anything. I can do the Raid 4 times in a row cant wait or do same dungeon 25 times! LOL What made vanilla great was you couldnt go do normal or LFR ect if you didnt kill the boss you had to actually learn instead of just ok ill go kill him on LFR and get the same feeling like I killed it on heroic. Takes away the feeling of overcoming difficulties. There’s literally 0 prestige in the game anymore. In Vanilla Rank 14 gear meant something because the grind was so hard. Now its just boring guaranteed ranks. There will be ALOT rank 14 BOTS. Bots are literally exploiting wrath boost right now and making 100g in 1min over and over. Guess what it will never be fixed. You have one of the biggest dev teams and all you make is literal crap. So crap that you tarnish something great like vanilla.

Agreed all they do is ruin vanilla. Nobody wants retail, and these garbage devs keep trying to turn Vanilla into some bastardized version of the game. The old grind made the world and people around you matter. Because it effected you. This turn PvP into a single player game. Guaranteed ranks is just bad, pls take your hands off era/vanilla go mess up Retail or Wrath. Its all the devs are good at is making the game worse anymore. Why does blizzard even hire anybody, getting paid to make a game worse. Just put the server up and go away nobody wants your dirty hands touching vanilla.

That makes no sense and your obviously have a baby peepee, cant even post on a main. You want things handed to you instead of working towards a goal. Your the LFR player that thinks they “DESERVE” to beat the content because you payed for the sub but at sametime nobody wants to play with you because your garbage. This is WORLD of Warcraft, Notice the WORLD. These changes kill the WORLD by making it not effect you. Old system sucked but it meant the world mattered, the people around you effected your ranking. Now its going to be bot city.

That poster also said this:
“I don’t play this game for drama, nor do I play it to make friends or socialize.”
The true fun of classic “Vanilla” revolves around this stuff, and not having it is easily found in other versions of WoW. So there are already places for people who don’t care.
This type of person is pure cancer to what makes WoW classic a great game. Self-centered, gear-driven, and probably grey parses a 2 in his social skills.
The sad part isn’t that he exists, but it’s that Blizzard caters to the lowest common denominator of an MMO player like he is when making decisions, and they will probably continue to, even though doing this will make the game as soulless and unspecial as Retail. It’s very sad.
It takes 12 weeks from 1->14 with bracket 1 every week. If you br2 at r12/13/14 it adds 2 weeks to your grind. This shows you had 1 bracket 1 week in your grind which means you probably got r14 in 15 weeks which is almost 4 months.
600k honor is 300 bgs at 5 minutes queue and 6 minutes a bg your looking at 6 bgs an hour. Which you would be spening 60 hours a week in JUST BGS for 15 weeks (maybe longer due to the screenshot).
7 1/2 hours of just playing wow every single day for 4 months while working full time hours AT MINIMUM is something that 100% would need to be changed. There are times were there was just 0 queues in the morning aswell and these times went up to 10-12 minute queues.
After all this you also had your group of premade give you br1EVERY week from your low rank instead of giving 1 extra person HWL/GM is insane.
Individual results may vary, probably would have finished sooner if our lowbies didnt kill the damn civilian in Uldaman’s pre-instance

Probably more. I took it easy for the first 11 ranks.
Well, Blizzard is probably having caps set at 500k or even maybe 750k and that will take close to the same time as my 600k shown, especially for those who don’t premade and I did. So what’s your opinion of that?
They didn’t “give me BR1” every week. I waited for my turn.
You were doing 14 hour days for bgs then 8 hours of work 4 days a week my friend for 3 toons which is just about 11 months. I have a feeling like most of this didn’t happen when bracket caps were 600k.
This is at minimum btw. You said you didn’t have br1 every week until r12 which means this could most def be a 1 1/2 year thing or even more of atleast 7 hours a day and upwards of 14 hours during r7+.
What people dont seem to understand is that during the Wrath prepatch were you could full farm pvp gear that was decent in everything from just honor (about 200 bgs for full gear) was the MOST played pvp experience the game has had for the last 10 years and it was mostly solo.
I would queue just to fight people in AV 1v1s and there were amazing battles similar to those in old vanilla wow and I would remember people I fought who were doing the same. Ranking premade’s are not a community its a mob and the ranking system in vanilla being redone to allow for more situations like the wrath pre patch will be amazing.
