Where did I say that? Show me.
Again, where did I say anything like that?
No, you’re not making any sense at all. It’s all because you cannot accept you’re wrong.
One more time:
Current player power is tied to Plunderstorm. Fact.

Mythic is the end game ilvl, if you compare that to normal ilvl that is not being reasonable. Normal raid is tuned for the average player, and this late into the season its only a catchup mechanic.

yes there will be players who didn’t play, and dont play. Now they dont have to raid to get a piece of raid loot, they can play plunderstorm! You are viewing it as a negative when in fact its a positive, since its only an additional way to obtain loot, not the only way
To my 14 year old Normal is endgame. To some people Heroic is endgame. To some LFR is. Not everyone is a highspeed Mythic CE raider like you. Not everyone has been playing since season 3 began. So once again you are incorrect.

If there were no rewards tied to it, it would be a ghost town and people would be complaining that nobody plays.

You’re 14 year old decided to come back and play at the very end of the season, While Plunderstorm is a way he can get raid loot, without being rejected by every raid pug that he applies to because hes got season 2 item level and no raid xp. This is actually a benefit to your son because those pugs will not invite him, but he can get the gear in plunderstorm. He’s also not forced to play it, he can run mythic dungeons and upgrade the gear using flightstones, or he can run LFR and upgrade the gear, or he can run normal . etc
Just so we’re clear, you’re now admitting there’s current player power tied to Plunderstorm?
It is a negative because this piece of loot is tied, not to another game mode, to another game altogether.
Nobody in this entire thread has claimed Plunderstorm is the only way to get normal raid loot, stop it.

Its a negative because you have to participate in a completely separate game and genre with vastly different playstyles all together to get gear for the game you actually play. It’s like if they created a WoW FPS that you had to log into a separate client to play in order to get an account bound piece of raid gear. It’s degenerate. It doesn’t matter if its an additional method.

What I am admitting is for fellas like you, that haven’t killed a single raid boss, and clearly don’t intend to. This late in the season you can play plunderstorm and recieve a gift of low item level gear. That most players even at the average (normal) raid level is beyond. But its still not the only way, or even the most effecient way to get gear.
Ok, so you CAN get gear in Plunderstorm. Thank goodness he’s pretty good at Fortnite. Who knew that skill would be useful for gearing up in the MMO World of Warcraft?

Or even a way they will enjoy, at all, ever.
Just wanted to add that important piece.

Why are you acting so condescending and arrogant? You were the one that was wrong.
Low level gear compared to what? Mythic raids? WQ gear?
Prove it. Show your stats or you’re talking out your backside.
Never claimed it was efficient. You’re so bent out of shape over being proven wrong you have to make asinine statements like these to make yourself feel better.

It shouldn’t have been on the wow timeline is all.
It has next to nothing to do with base wow, so it seems kind of silly, especially with all the cloak and dagger mystery.

I say Hearthstone is more closer to WoW than Plunderstone. Atleast Hearthstone has Gnolls.

Neither is Trading post, yet people (including PvP Pauls) still complain about it and somehow bizarrely think it’s not free despite not having paid extra from their sub to get this…
…Then what else you would call a separate server with different sets of rules and gameplay?
Nuwala isn’t criticizing them, she’s making an observation that blizzard tends to put cosmetic rewards in order to incentivize players quite a lot instead of letting it be there and see how well it gots without the incentive, like they did with some of the micro hoildays they did.
Not saying i don’t want them to, i’m saying that’s what she’s saying.

Couldn’t care less if people like or don’t like it. I tried it for 10 min, hated it instantly.
What I’m upset about with Plunderstorm is that it’s not a WoW event and it’s a waste of an entire half-patch at a time when we’re struggling for new content and THIS is what they come up with which will only appeal to a very select group of players.
This event did nothing to bring people back to retail and does nothing for anyone who actually wants to play WoW. They even put it on it’s own server so you can’t even interact with friends and guildies when you do it. Horrible design.
Another epic failure in Dragonflight and game development. This expansion is going down for me as worse than Shadowlands (and I can’t believe I just typed that).
At least I can see now why they didn’t want to tell us in advance what the event was. They deserve all the backlash they get from this.

I would have no problem with Plunderstorm if Blizz hadn’t tied cosmetics etc, for WoW to it. If they had launched it, had its own reward structure for itself most players would be fine to ignore it. Instead Blizz did a very Blizz thing and tied desirable rewards behind it and strong-arm players into it, in an effort to boost engagement metrics. How many people do you actually think would play it if they didn’t have any of the rewards for WoW tied to it.

Do they pay you in Blizzard store credit? Or is it an in game currency like just straight up gold or maybe some tenders?
