How to Help Alleviate the Damage Caused By This Launch - Rep/Scarab Reduction

Hey guys, I understand that no one feels great about how launch went. On top of the very questionable Classic Fresh launch during the War Effort, which fragmented a lot of players and left a lot of players realizing too late that they had missed the boat to farm Brood rep, I’m offering some ways to help make up for some of these issues.

  1. Remove completely or Lower by Half all Brood Rep Requirements for Tier 2.5, or double the Rep gained. You would make a LOT of players happy with this, and considering how much shorter this phase is going to be compared to Classic 04 and 20, this should already be a thing IMO.

  2. Reduce all scarab and idol requirements for ALL items requiring them by Half, or increase the drop rate x2. Again, this will make it much more accessible for players

  3. Reduce the Cenarian Rep Requirement for Exalted Items like Earthstrike and Profession Patterns. Same reasons for the others above.

  4. Increase craft mat drop rates like Obsidian Shards and Silithus Herb mats. This will lower AH prices for all of these making it accessible faster to lower end guilds.

Although SoD Phase 6 looks amazing on paper with all the farming and open world gathering required to prepare for raids, which is what Classic Endgame is (along with the PvP that it brings) outside of raiding, keep your players who want to play both Fresh and SoD happy by not making them burnt out of SoD trying to keep up. I hope this reaches y’all, and thank you from your consideration

From,
Someone who’s finishing SoD all the way no matter what

The ball was dropped so hard on Blizz this time. It honestly feels like they’re actively sabotaging SOD.
Very well written post, I agree with all points.
With the fact that Path of Exile 2 just launched and it’s so good, my entire guild and most others I’ve talked to are just going to cancel our wow sub if Tuesday’s patch doesn’t fix everything, and that’s coming from someone that cleared SOM all through Naxx.
GG Blizz, at least that’s one less launcher on my PC :slight_smile:
