I am super excited to get the announcement for BWL, but at the same time not excited about the 2 week delay on PvP ranks being unlocked. Some of our players have gotten only a couple items out of MC due to the large loot tables and how much garbage is on them. The increased cadence is nice and all but only increasing the speed at which the raids release isn’t the right answer, we needed to see all the bosses drop at least 1 more item in Molten Core as well.
Blizzard never tends to think things through when releasing Classic. Only 2 mega servers? Not adjusting Lotus/Rich Thorium spawns, or making changes like they did with SoM/SoD. Lotus coming from high end herbs, Elemental Earth/Fire coming from mining nodes. The fact that some of these items are more expensive than they were 5 years ago is a pretty telling sign that something is wrong on how things are handled on the Classic team. I know some will say “blah blah they removed GDKP” and while I agree that it wasn’t the right answer, but if they’re not going to police their own TOS on RMT it was the right call.

Cool story but BWL is not even hard.
You’ll manage champ.
Think of it as a challenge instead of insta Karening
You are not supposed to be BIS each phase. You probably won’t be. You are gonna have to manage this reality that you are in.
How do you not have gear yet, there’s been 12 clears so far.

Because who cares about MC loot? Except for 1 or 2 items.
They said we thought we did, but we didn’t. When they realized we did, they were mad about being wrong, so now anniversary is being knee-capped (gdkp ban) and neglected so that they can be right.

You aren’t getting GDKPs back just give up already.
100% accurate and very real post. Thanks for your thoughts. I agree 100% and believe Blizzard should both increase loot drops in MC and also unlock Ranks 12-14 on DAY 1 of BWL instead of waiting 2 weeks. We had a lot of melee users in our raid forego weapons with the idea that they wouldn’t make an incredibly weird? decision to keep gatekeep R12-14 for an extra 2 weeks. It’s a weird thought process, not sure I think they should wait.
Buff / debuff caps made the game like 25% easier.
I’d be okay with increased loot drops if they made boss health 30% higher or something.
This company just wants to waste your time. It’s the “bread and circuses” of our time. Video game companies using psychological tactics to maximize the amount of time you waste on the game, stringing us along crumb by crumb. The wait between phases is too long so they have to add in these mini-phases so you don’t lose track of the crumb trail on your way to death.
There was no good reason not to release AB along with wsg and av, there was no good reason to not have the lvl 50 quests till now… The whole game should have just been on naxx patch with only the raids timegated, with r14 grind able to be started on BWL drop. Sometimes I wonder if there is just like a mentally challenged son of some uber-billionaire that is the true sole benefactor supporting wow classic, and this person is in charge of the decisions being made to accommodate drooling belligerent purists.

I’d even be alright if they gave us one of the two… Either increased loot drops or PVP ranking starting right away Mar 20
Or you can quit if you don’t like it the way it is?
some of our raid group also have only a couple pieces.
mc drops 24 pieces of loot on average and each player is looking to equip 15 (up 17 if you count offhand and wand) pieces of gear from raids. across 40 players its 600 pieces of loot to fully equip a raid group.
thats if no gear gets wasted on say, druid or hunter gear because you dont need a lot of that.
at 12 clears only only 288 pieces of gear have dropped and our group only has 8 clears.
