Flying rep grind miserable for returning players

It definitely is a grind no doubts there. It is a mad house trying to get to rares being grinded. Least in Mechagon you can get jetpacks. It definitely helps. Keep up the grind if your there it wont be long to get to revered. Have your guildies or friends fly u around in nazjatar. If your not in a guild, join one. It helps tremendously.

How Blizzard does things

A researcher puts five monkeys in a cage. Thereā€™s a bunch of bananas hanging from a string, with a ladder leading to the bananas. When the first monkey goes for the bananas, the researcher sprays all five monkeys with freezing water for five minutes. Some time later, when a second monkey inevitably tries to go for the bananas, the researcher once again sprays all five monkeys with the cold water for five minutes. The researcher then puts the hose away and never touches it again. But, when a third monkey tries to go for the bananas, the other four attack him to prevent him from climbing that ladder. They are afraid of the punishment that may come.

Then, the researcher replaces one of the monkeys with a new monkey who wasnā€™t part of the original experiment and was never sprayed with water. And, as soon as he touches the ladder to go for the bananas, the other four monkeys attack him to keep him from doing so. If he tries again, they attack him again. Thus, the new monkey learns not to go after the bananas because heā€™ll get attacked if he does.

The researcher replaces a second monkey with another new monkey. When this monkey goes for the bananas, the other four attack him, including the new monkey who was never sprayed with water . The researcher then continues to replace all the monkeys one at a time, until all five of the original monkeys are removed from the cage. Each time the newcomer goes for the bananas, the others attack, even when they, as new monkeys, have never received punishment for going after the bananas. And thus, the new monkeys, who have never been sprayed with cold water, learn not to go after the temptation of the bananas.

The researchers hypothesize that, if they were to ask the monkeys why they donā€™t go for the bananas, theyā€™d answer ā€œbecause thatā€™s the way itā€™s always been doneā€.

waitā€¦are we the monkeys and this is your explanation of how blizz got such a cadre of rabid fanboys to defend their every mistake? Or are you saying that blizzard is represented by the monkeys?

confused and a little drunkā€¦

At this point it might be a little bit of both

Iā€™m sure you will be greatly missed in the fields of Azeroth. Good luck!

Nah, my individual presence wonā€™t be missed, but as the servers get more and more quiet and the people to play with become more and more hardcore IOscore metasexuals (people who are so obsessed with the meta that if they could copulate with it they would) and thus drive off more and more casual players who play for fun rather than to prove something, youā€™ll definitely miss people like me.

Thatā€™s fine though. Cyberpunk will be out soon and that game is looking better and better as we get closer to release.

How is the playing field not level otherwise? This post is nonsensical.

If you find the game miserable, maybe this game is not for you anymoreā€¦

Have you ever think of that?
Will you still work at a miserable company?
Will you still eat pizza with pineapple even if miserable?

The CRZ and connected realms have ramped up which breaks a lot of the immersion of having servers. If they are going to resort to that at least allow players to pick the shard they want to go to be with friends or even guild mates like other MMOs and MMORPGs do it.

Forced sharding/CRZ/connected realms is not cool IMVHO.
