I’m currently ranking can only get WSG
Getting stomped on by the same players on repeat some WSG I get 500 honor
AV or AB doesn’t pop
Don’t know if I’ll even hit my cap
The PVP rewards aren’t worth the time investment for the vast majority of players who don’t have a premade group with AQ open, especially with so much gold in the ecosystem so people can just swipe for the gear.
Basically need to farm rank on holidays or wait for fresh.
That is the problem - the player base at large has accepted that this is the only sane way to rank. There are clearly plenty of players that want to rank because there were upwards of 10 AV games last Friday.
With the new ranking system change it makes sense that they also need to change WSG in a way that allows for more honor to be gained now that the ranking population that wants to grind honor outside of AV weekends is critically low.
Pre-SOD release I could hit 100K+ on a Tuesday with AV however currently with long queues and only WSG even 30K is a struggle.
I got 100k honor yesterday from WSG and farming sand between queues. This is a git gud problem. And if they’re going to change anything it should be reverting back to the honor system pre-SoD.
If you want r14 strap in for some 12+ hour honor grinds. It’s supposed to be at least somewhat brutal. No casuals allowed.
R14 and 20 man raids is the quickest way to get a fresh 60 warrior Naxx ready. Just 8 weeks. Totally worth it for a warrior and you get near BiS flask set weapons.
This is why half the high warlords/grand marshals you see running around are warriors.
Odd coincidence that AV weekend is once a month, just what is required to keep people subbed for as long as possible. This fact and removing rank decay is keeping people paying their monthly sub a lot longer than if they could grind ranking every week. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
