Why are you so worried about what others are doing? Worry about yourself, brother.
Lul. I mean you are trying to devalue glad mounts by introducing into rss where it will basically free by the end of a season. And every degenerate like you could get it for free.
Maybe thats the reason.
Shutup nerd lol

Did i hit a nerve?
I wouldn’t call less than 1% basically free, but that’s just me, idk.

2s and 3s with friends. I stopped pushing 3s for rating in WoD and the next few expansions weren’t enjoyable for PvP. Templates killed Legion. Corrupted gear and scaling killed BFA. Shadowlands ruined the glad achievement…
RSS made the 3s experience accessible again.
Prolly some rare 2s and 3s. Likely put more focus into M+. If they improved LFG and gave us actual tools to find people, I’d still be doing 2s and 3s. Building groups is still incredibly sweaty.
Give LFG the following:
- Class selection - What you’re looking for
- Experience selection - acceptable rating range or achivements
- Goal - what rating are you aiming for
- Offline advertising so people can add you whenever
Whats the % of people at 2400 in rss right now?
Im pulling numbers out of my back, it has to be like what 5%? Is that free?
There is no point in these tools when it isnt the system itaslf that is flawed but the population
Whoever is looking for glad exp partners will continue to do so with a new system. If right now people are instant declining arcane mages that will continue to happen with a brand new shiny lfg system
Just saying from personal experience one of the reasons why I gave up doing most rated content. Having better tools improves the game for everyone and this is a fairly easy task. Given the current system, you have much smaller window to find players and you still have to deal with a decent amount of noise.
What makes RSS great is I can hit a button and just wait while the game does the work. What if it was similar to building groups? Instead of you automatically being queued, why not let the game build a group for you (or come close to) for 3s? Take the effort of making groups out of the equation and more players would do 3s.

Rank 1 in 3v3 is about top 200 right now, and 2400 is about top 1725 according to drusvar, so 2400 would be approximately top .85% currently. So yea, the lvl 28 warlock that said glad is basically free is typical elitist mentality. People at both extreme ends of a distribution generally have a pretty skewed perception of what is easy/difficult, at least in comparison to the general population.

Mostly just random battlegrounds and world pvp. I hadn’t done arena seriously since TBC.
If RSS was gone? No skin off my back. I’d just continue to play Blitz and world pvp with the occasional epic battleground thrown in.

I love this idea… Instead of RSS you had a group maker? Where you could put what specs you’d like to play with and the game would put you in a group with similar cr people and then que you into the 3s bracket?
Is that what you meant? Seems genius to me… Ques no longer split. People wait in que but eventually get into a group where they can play a bunch of games together.

Pretty much. Either it just places you into a group or just gives you a selection of players you could play with that fit your criteria. If the game was building groups for people in the same way it does for RSS, but you were only queueing single games, I think lots of people would do it.
I think most of us just hate staring at the screen and then having to look people up. This is especially true during off hours. Might take 10-15 minutes or more to make a group. I’d rather focus on other stuff. Let the game do the heavy lifting.

Gonna disagree with you there… Back in tbc I was top 50 on my BG in 2s (playing war/hpal - I think we were one of the highest war/hpal teams on the cyclone BG, not many people playing it above 2100), and I def wouldn’t have been able to get there by clicking. You basically had to have weapon swap/stance dance+spell reflect macros and stuff to not just insta lose to rogue/mage. But, I don’t think anyone above 2k was really clicking anything (and especially not in WotLK). We didn’t have weakauras, but still def used add-ons like gladius and had targeting macros setup (couldn’t do it through the keybinds menu then)
And I’m posting the obligatory hoodrych video just because it’s an absolute banger/classic

It’s all relative. What it took to be rank 1/glad then isn’t the same as what it takes to be Rank 1/glad now. Doesn’t mean those players weren’t amazing for their time. It’s similar to comparing the best NBA players of the 60’s to the best NBA players today. Pretty pointless.
When talking about the GOAT’s though, I like to look at how dominant they were compared to others “within their time”. For example, was Jordan more/less dominant during his time than Lebron has been in more current times. How much better were they than their peers? How many titles/championships, points, etc.
Probably, but I do remember a rogue hitting glad while using a first person camera angle. The only reason I know this is because when I first started playing wow I was used to playing counter strike and a friend pointed out I could still be good playing like that. 
Those were weird times.
There may be some exceptions. Did he have double 4 set and glaives and/or full shadow resist? Pve-lord rogues at the end of TBC could basically run over people, and warlocks were very strong/meta, so if you had the pve shadow resist gear for mother shahraz in BT, you could basically just negate the whole class and they legit couldn’t do anything, but these guys were suuuuper rare/uncommon. There were maybe 1 or 2 on my BG that I remember with double glaives, and not many people had shadow resist either until they removed the BT attunement a few months before WotLK came out
For sure. I would imagine there were plenty of ‘broken’ things in the game that could be harnassed. Was more or less saying that the game was pretty lawless in a sense and the volume of players getting glad was huge. My roommate in TBC was 2k+ in arena and clicked. He was the one who originally got me into the game.
I wasn’t trying to weigh in on the conversation too much though. Just was pointing out that there were some ways people played that wouldn’t get you far these days.
