" * Crests now drop from Rated PvP activities. Weathered Harbinger Crests are now rewarded by Combatant 1 activities. Carved Harbinger Crests are now rewarded by Combatant 2, Challenger 1, and Challenger 2 activities. Runed Harbinger Crests are now rewarded by Rival 1 and Rival 2 activities. Gilded Harbinger Crests are now rewarded by Duelist and Elite activities.
From this hotfix note it’s clear that crests should be dropping within rated pvp, however it appears that battleground blitz will NOT drop crests of any kind.
Within the 39 games I have played this week in blitz, not a single crest has dropped. I’m unsure if this is a problem in other brackets as well or if it is just blitz but this is a clear issue that should be addressed.
I was stoked to hear that rated PvP would give crests as I’ve been enjoying BG Blitz so much. Now, I could grind gilded crests from rated games and upgrade my gear for my weekly raid. What a waste of time grinding blitz last week for NO CRESTS. It’s a shame this hasn’t been fixed yet.
