Weeks of time gating. Or time spent in game playing it.
There are literally no other options.
Why do we have to gate content at all? Because if you can get everything easily, it’s not satisfying. Playing a game is literally voluntarily overcoming unnecessary obstacles for fun.
I hear that you think the rewards aren’t worth the effort. OK. I think they very much are. Who wins? Who’s right? Neither of us. We have different preferences.
In the end Blizzard will decide which better suits their game. We can only give our feedback and then evaluate with our dollars whether it is worth it.
You want it changed. I like the rewards for investment.
Don’t assume your preference is somehow superior to mine or anyone else’s. Neither is mine superior to yours.
You want something. It’s hard to get (to you). I hear you. I want gladiator armor for my drake. It’s hard to get. I have to either put in the work or deal with not having it.
Some things require work to get. You get to decide if it’s worth it to you.
And with good reason. Some of us like some challenge. Some of us like many rewards. Some of us don’t especially want to get through the content fast. That’s okay too.
This was an alt - if the main was over 20 renown from that faction - that character would get 200% up to lvl 10 and 100% up to level 20. Which means the story campaign would give them a possible 6 levels of renown and the one time quests would give them about 15 levels of renown. The wrath/sab weeklies would probably also give them at level a full level of renown. There was the world quest event recently and that would have given them one or two levels of renown.
Why are you trolling the forums to mock people pointing out how absurd it is to unlock a new pet family?
Edgy warlock fantasy?
Why are you so intentionally antagonistic? Are you trying to cement your edgy goth anti-establishment persona so you can drink coffee and complain about conformists and how lame they are?
Ya renown is a way for them to massively increase rep grinds or decrease as they see fit. They are not restricted by the old rep model anymore that is why we have renown.
Lol they just want to skip content the troll says the to hunter with fulll gear from solo pve farming and some lfr to fill the gaps.
I can’t get over how much of a jerk that edgy warlock is it’s really sad.
Players: “I want really cool things that make me feel rewarded for my efforts from doing all sorts of things in the game.”
Blizzard: “Okay great here’s a ton of cool things, but you have to put in effort for them so it’s not like everyone just gets it for free and you feel rewarded.”
Not really, I’ve only been actually trying to raise renown for a few weeks and I’m well on my way. Just play the game and do the content available and you’ll get there. I like that they’re not just handing things out.
On what planet is grinding a cumulative 30-ish hours of crapy timegated chorelist WQ’s in any way easier than killing a boss from the first raid tier of an expac on Normal that you could knock out in like 20 mins with minimal gearing even when the raid was current or just wait for a couple tiers of content in the expac till catchup gear gets to being practically Mythic ilvl from that tier
Edit: My bad thought you were talking about the dragon taming, I definitely think the Ottuk Taming is significantly more appropriatly placed on the renown level tree compared to the lesser dragonkin taming
Also at what point did I ever say solo Zul? I said you could just make a pug and knock it out with minimal difficulty even when the raid is current. Normal isn’t hard, and if you wait till later in the expac it only gets easier as you get more catchup gear even if you don’t raid at all
You can solo and get those other taming. Valdrakken don’t even take that long. Just do the Dragon keep place every week. As a Hunter I knock those weeklies super fast.
Zul is required for Blood Taming. Currently he isn’t really soloable due to mind control.
I’m not going to disagree with you that renown is a cancer to this game, but SL has asked you to hold its beer when it comes to grinds. I would have to flip a coin to see which was worse: flying gating in SL or flying gating in BfA for grinds. BfA had way more rep grinds gated into flying…add them all up was worse than renown system.
The fun is in collecting the pets, not waiting to collect the item to collect the pets. Reknown 10 would have been fine, or better, a rare drop off dragonkin as has been suggested.
