Why’s it have to be labeled toxic? It’s difficult to obtain, but also people seem to tend to form community around it, and that’s a sort of interesting aspect of the game, isn’t it?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming that I went to Rank 14 during WoW Classic. I didn’t go past Rank 10, and I don’t expect to go to R14 during SoM, but that’s because R14 isn’t on par for me with my RL responsibilities.
But for those who choose to make it their priority, it makes sense that it’s difficult to obtain.
