I like the grind in this game in general but PVP rank 11 - 14 grind is way too much. I’m really glad they’re adding 5-day weekend bonuses, but I hope they have a multiplier of 2 at the very least. Anyone else feeling similarly?
These are just the standard bg weekends, identical to the 2019 version of the game.
The pvp grind is a perplexing one because I’ve heard people say it’s too easy now, doing the math on it, optimistically its 150 hours over 5 weeks but there’s a chance it’s closer to 175, if you are starting from r11 0%

That’s really disappointing to hear. Yeah. My estimation came close to that. Truly impossible for most people. I hope they consider changes because it’s anniversary but i guess i shouldn’t hold my breath
It was never meant to be obtainable for every player.

love people who just pretend to know developer intentions with no basis in reality.

It’s endless on these forums man.
I swear half the ppl on here claim they were writing on the white boards as they planned vanilla…
“What they originally intended was …” Just stop.

I hear the gear becomes purchasable at some point, in the past there was rank decay so obviously there was a line, pretty obvious the intended design was competitive.

competitive is fine but this isn’t that. this is just a flat time sink of 45+ hours a week.
Rank 14 was literally designed not to be obtainable by every player. Blizzard had too many people crying, so they just made it a time-sink instead of an actual ranked ladder.

r14 is based on percentages and the last 3 weeks means you have to be in b13, there aren’t enough weeks for every player to be in b13 because there’s only 1-5 of those slots per server (mostly) so its quite literally not obtainable to everyone as the original vanilla devs designed it

OH YEAH?! you have a bug on the devs cellular telephone or something huh!? (sorry that was sarcasm, also it was just a trick to drag you into a parenthetical exposition monologue, who knows how long it could go on for, we’re in the parenthesis now, kind of weird that it is not pronounced like thesis, kind of like how hercules isn’t pronounced like molecule which does bug me when I read it out in print like I did just now, but wait I promised exposition, let me movea in 2 diagonal lines that intersect at the middle, haha that’s x positioning not exposition, okay I’m done now, just need to erect the final parenthesis or the close parenthesy? parenthetical terminus? not sure what would fit best there, I can edit it later parenthesis out)
The four forum trolls need to be tanked orthogonally from eachother, facing away from the DPS. That is to say, if you have plane in three dimensional space, a vector is orthogonal to the plane if it is perpendicular to every vector contained in the plane.
ya feel me?

Explain it to me like im 5.
Did the original HWL honor grind, doing this one also.
This honor grind is extremely easy in comparison. Of course we never did AV for honor back then, it was all WSG all day every day for a few months.
crying because of what
only because you didn’t have a mafia controlling the ladder
yeah i see no information that this is how the anniversary classic pvp ranking system works. it’s just a time sink. that’s all. stop just saying things just to say it. most cringe behavior
People complaining it’s too hard… Man, real og vanilla would have broken you guys.
My server never did the bracket mafia to artificially limit weekly honor caps, and my one guildie ended up clearing 2.5million on one of his weeks on his push from 13-14 (7 different people playing his account 24/7 premade 6min ab or wsg wins).
Literally 5x the max amount farmable in a week right now. Some of you guys don’t get it, R14 was extraordinarily rare back in the day. Wasn’t even “not meant for everyone”, it was like 0.001% of the population.

I don’t think people are complaining it’s too hard I think they’re complaining it’s too time-consuming.
Even with this version I would not have enough time to hit rank 14.
I don’t have 40 spare hours in the week
