So if they made plunderstorm something you can que in game with the exact same rewards you wouldnt have a problem?
When, throughout WoW history, has this ever not been the case?
It only seems to be a “problem” when pvp is involved.
People cried about 2 BG wins for the legendary cloak in MoP.
People cried about the Dalaran Underbelly in Legion.
People cried about Children’s Week every year.

Apples and oranges my friend - apples and oranges
Those mounts - not only is it just one mount - but they take some amount of skill to get
Plunderstorm though - again - nothing from winning - just throw your face at plunderstorm for several hours and you’ll eventually get the renown
If there was a fancy mount for winning X games and I never got it - I’d be totally fine with that
In fact when I won a game I was super disappointed there was no retail reward - and now I’m just go around collecting as much plunder as I can then running into the storm
Praise be to the stormwall

The sole purpose of this renown track is to farm play time - no one would be investing as much time in pluderstorm if it wasn’t for the tedious grind

Raids, dungeons, bgs, rated content…
They all have rewards.
And that’s okay to have, cause if you earn em it gives you extra joy out of having em then it is to toss your money at it.

If they made it actual content, yeah.
In my view PVP content is an afterthought, just as it was. It was added months after the game launched, a mistake, and everything related to PVP should be second tier if that.
Enjoy murdering each other like lunatics, and be second class citizens. Arena basically ruined balance for years until they finally split abilities. And I honestly loathe the day they added PVP, every day I log on.
Now if they made a real event, with maybe a PVP ring for those so inclined to stab each other, great. The rest of us would ignore it, and them, and do quests and whatever world boss, event, etc they made. And we’d get pirate stuff, and you’d get to stab people. But prolly like most world arenas, nobody would step foot in it. Cause nobody wants to get their teeth kicked in, it’s not the most fun.

I don’t care if people cry about it. I just wish people would use the Plunderstorm forums instead of GD.

It was released as DF patch 10.2.6 - so it is WoW content and DF content - despite it being a completely different game mode that has nothing to do with DF <3
So, not too sorry about clogging up GD <3

The “Selfie” patch was better by far than Blunderstorm.

I would have much less of a problem with it. The “limited time” FOMO garbage is absolutely terrible. Not only did they give us something outside of wow and claimed it was a wow patch, it’s not even a permanent mode. Pure scumbag move.

Oh yeah - the fact that this is a tedious grind behind a limited time event in which they haven’t told us the EXACT date and time the Plunderstorm servers are being taken off line - is kind of annoying.
At least with WoW Seasons in game - we have a general idea of how long they are.

Im sure they will add it as a game mode within WoW when the limited event is over, like quing up for raid finder or pvp
Pretty much this
Sorta reminds me of 9.1.5 Mage Tower, except back then I don’t remember anywhere near the same amount of spam on the front-page 
Legit seems like if a certain demographic of the playerbase doesn’t just get what they want/have everything handed to them “for free” they throw a big baby tantrum
With the Mage Tower it was NPCs that actually fought back (gasp!), with Plunderstorm it’s not really NPCs but other players (…who also fight back) as the main gripe

Notice there are no incentives for any other Blizzard title added.
Target audience = WoW players.
And the reason is they were able to spin off a “new” game mode using old code. Smoke and mirrors aside, it’s nothing more than Warfronts meets Islands meets random battlegrounds, tied to a grind that provides metrics to show players are “engaging” in a 20yr old title.

Then vote with your wallet and don’t do it.
Oh… Right you can’t cause your necessities are extremely crazy for wanting pixelated rewards
