Easiest solution to WSG: Revered is the New Exalted-Done

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

Let’s just make Revered auto complete >Exalted (this is in line with other recent faction changes to the Ashenvale event)… currently the only incentive to premade wsg is so players can get exalted for next phase. Let’s remove that incentive and proactively begin to redirect player behavior towards other pvp activities (over to STV, AV/AB etc in Phase 2/3).

With this change WSG would become casual friendly. As a note, during phase (and honor cap) changes, premades would likely still run rampant in whatever game mode is the optimal honor/hour, so they will exist in other formats going forward with this change. Further, I assume devs will continue to pump out new/better rewards in new game modes in the future (specifically the Stranglethorn Vale Event in Phase 2), so there would still be new/other faction rep grinds to pursue in the future.

The goal of this change is to redirect player behavior itself, rather than forcing new/different queues that are being constantly demanded by players.

Edit to add for context-I have one character that is exalted already, and 2 characters that are halfway to exalted in Season of Discovery. Yes, I would benefit from this change, but I’ve already done the grind once, and am halfway done on 2 more characters. It’s not about me, it’s about the player experience going forward.

I’d almost say they should remove honor/rep gains from doing BGs entirely. The whole point of a BG should just be casual fun.

Everything they turn into a grind with a reward at the end of it, ends up being completely ruined by players who do not know how to enjoy anything. They just grind whatever the thing is in the most efficient way possible and ruin whatever the activity is for everyone else.

That or it ends up turning into a system where new players have to get ground into dust by geared players in order to get their reward, and they stop the second they get their stuff… but it’s a completely miserable experience for anyone new coming in.

If people stop doing the activity when there is no reward for it, its because the activity wasn’t fun from the get go.

For all you old heads, recall how many matches of Day of Defeat or Counter Strike or Quake III Arena… or Tribes that you played simply because it was fun – despite there being no reward.

Not everything needs a treadmill.
