Honestly think this combined with the illusion going to 1950 are great changes. Previously there was absolutely nothing between 1800 and 2100, now there is something at 1950 and something really great at 2100. This might even incentivize more people to push past 1800 which is good, and also might incentivize people to get into pvp if the rewards they want are a bit more achievable.
I do think there needs to be something maybe between 2100 and 2400, thats 300 points to just get a tabard at 2400 now. So maybe tabard can move to like 2250 and we can get a different enchant at 2400? Kydravs idea was a tyranny style enchant, think that would work well here.

Not necessary. I donât mind the change either. Let people have their rewards and have maybe 1 or 2 things at 2400. Tabard and glad mount.

Interesting, but theyâve already effectively been 2100 since Dragonflight because Solo Shuffle has, like, 250-400 free mmr.
It would be cool if they bridged the gap more. I really like that they made something at 1950, it was a good break point. A lot of people who couldnât hit 2100 didnât bother after 1800, but breadcrumbs motivate people.
People who used to stop at 1800 are now far more likely to give 1950 a shot, and then maybe try 2100. But then the trail goes cold, that 300 gap is large and imposing for newer player.
I assume you mean basically 2100 right?

Are elite weapons already 2100 and illusion 1950 or is this a wish list post?

ong should give every1 the same mount @ 1k and let it become armored/modifiable as they progress up the ladder, make one for shuffle, blitz and arena. When you get glad its fully armored and stuff, r1 idk something fancy

Yeah basically this improves the gap on the lower ish ends which is very good overall, think it will help participation with these being not only a bit more achievable, but coming pretty soon after getting 1800. You hit that and your now close to an enchant, and if you get that you are now close to recolored weapons.
I still think there needs to be something at 2250 though, nothing between 2100 and 2400 is a relatively big gap. Moving tabard to 2250 and putting something new at 2400 would be cool to see.
Eh the glad mount isnât technically just 2400. You donât get it automatically for hitting 2400. Most of the time you have to push above, when I was rushing my glad push we got up to 2540 i think, so I wouldnât really even consider it 2400, that is just half of the requirement. Like I said above I think 300 points between 2100 and 2400 is a lot of points to have nothing earned, so moving tabard to 2250 and then something new to 2400 (that you unlock right when you hit 2.4k) would be great.
Iâd actually be so down with this. Get a starter mount then upgrades as you climb. 
Each season has its own mount and higher and higher ranks get more bigger and flashier upgrades.
Best idea Iâve seen for pvp prog rewards in a while omg.

Vicious mount having upgrades and modifiers would be sick

Literally my #1 wishlist, as allowing it to be modified by the user a la rostram(spelling?) would make it so fun to slowly attain rating.
Tail armor @ 1200
Chest armor w/diamond @ 1400
bro idk please blizzard just do it

Itâs just greed to want more. You have plenty.
I actually thought this is what they were doing for the DF glad mount in s1 when it was datamined on beta, and I think holinka mentioned something about armor for your dragonriding drake in an interview. It ended up just being a full skin, but it really sounded like it was going to be upgradeable or something and getting glad would unlock the main pieces of armor.
I think applying this to vicious mounts would be great though, but they need to start making some that can fly then lol. But they could use the dragonriding rostrum of transformation thing for this, the tech is in the game already. Every milestone you just collect a piece for your vicious mount, all the way up to 2400 maybe? And then glad mount would be a separate unique thing?
I mean Iâm fine with it as is, but I think having rewards sprinkled throughout is really good overall for anyone participating. Its why they are moving rewards around now, because having big gaps in rewards between rating âmilestonesâ is not as motivating as hitting 1800, then 150 points later getting something cool, and then 150 points from there getting something really cool, etc. Previously it was 300 points for the next reward from 1800. However that is still the case between 2100 and 2400, and putting something at 2250 would help incentivize people to continue pushing esp in solo blitz/solo shuffle etc.
The only issue is⊠the elite weapons look bad, in fact most of the elite sets/tabards/weapon glows do.
Blizzard trying hard to incentivize participation by making rewards more accessible, sadly if those rewards arenât appealing then i donât see the point.

Think the weapons look fine, they are recolors of the raid weapons so it will be based on how those look but I like them personally.
The tabard improved a lot s1 tww from any of the ones we had in DF, those were pretty bad and I also really dislike how the tabards never actually match the color of the elite sets or elite/now duelist weapons. They also tend to throw in random colors that donât match the main color of the tabard itself making it pretty difficult to use (s3/4 DF tabard is a good example).
I agree with the enchant for the most part, I think df enchants were all good, shadowflame being one of the best in the game, but s1 tww is pretty meh. Needs to have better particle effects.
Iâm not a high rated player but I think they need to add more stuff for the 2400+ peeps

So everything is becoming less and less unique. Sweet. Instead of adding more rewards, theyâre just devaluing the ones we have. Solid plan.
With the addition of shuffle and now blitz lowering every (didnât even know weapons are 2100 lol) req outside of glad , will be a mistake they have to deal with in the future.
I can see why they tried this change but it honestly just devalues seasonal pvp rewards by too much, I promise the people that only push 1800 every season for their âmoggiesâ arenât suddenly going to push 1950 for an enchant, but only time will tell.
