I don’t.
I don’t care about authenticity for the sake of authenticity. I’ve been in all these threads proving that honor in original TBC was just as bad so people stop demanding Blizzard make it like it was “Back in the day.” I don’t think demanding Blizzard make honor gains like “they were” when it’s already freaking there is a valid strategy to get them to buff it.
You don’t see me posting in those threads of people asking for Blizzard to improve the situation in numerous ways because they’re not asking for something that is already the case!
Blizzard is still letting their terrible “no-changes” or “authenticity first” philosophies dictate their every move. They’re so slow and timid when making changes because they don’t want to break authenticity unless it makes them money or they feel they have to do it.
Look how long it took them to implement the Chronoboon Displacer into Classic. Then they had the gall to say something like this:
Sit idly by. They couldn’t “sit idly by.” They sat idly by for OVER A YEAR AND A HALF. This is what is going to happen with the honor situation if Blizzard doesn’t realize that putting authenticity ABOVE ALL is absurd.
So yeah, I agree with you; I don’t care if it’s authentic. People are gearing up in PvE far faster than they did in original TBC. The honor rates, or the honor cost of gear should be adjusted. There’s other things they could do too but I doubt they will. Here’s a thread:
Obviously wouldn’t work well on unbalanced servers but that’s just one idea. They could also use cross-realm in those areas but some people would absolutely lose it. Ya know, “nO CHaNgeS!!1” and all.
