Once again asking for Era to get repeatable turn ins for World Buffs

Uhhhhhh… complaints about the classic PvP system were probably the most common complaint on the forums during original WoW and also during classic

Can you link your spreadsheet where you logged every complaint ever made in Vanilla and Classic and show us where it actually ranks on the complaint list because people whined pretty much about everything, including the pvp update itself. Can you point me to the thread and its author so I can thank them for getting the game changed? Otherwise, it just comes off as you pulling your talking points out of you know where.

Vanilla is its own thing, the complaining about pvp in Classic was because BG pvp became a toxic, sweaty premade RMT driving metafest complete with mafia brackets and blatant cheating. Ill refer you to the blue post about it:

@Kaivax

• Since players are ranked based on a percentage of how many PvP participants there are, some players will engage in an activity called “pool boosting” - Pool boosting refers to the process of artificially inflating the total pool of players in the system so that each rank bracket are larger and allow a larger number of people within each bracket to rank up. This is often done through the use of automation (bots). For example, someone will run bots that will kill one another repeatedly until they reach the minimum required number of kills per week to become a part of the ranking system. They then switch to new characters, and repeat.
• Bracket fixing becomes the meta - Some players work together to take turns in a top percentile bracket, which allows them to increase the number of people who earn top-tier rewards and lowers the Honor ceiling for each bracket. This isn’t strictly a bad thing as players of the same faction often work together to ensure there is a pecking order and that, over time, more people earn rewards with less grinding needed by effectively capping the amount of Honor each rank needs to earn each week. This isn’t really in the spirit of the old system. Ideally, if players put in the effort, they should be rewarded, and shouldn’t feel pressured to be part of the in-group to earn top PvP rewards. This also often leads to conflict among players on the same faction, when players break the fixed bracket limits for their current rank and essentially raise the amount of Honor everyone else in the higher ranks needs to earn that week to not stall out their ranking efforts or even decay and lower their rank progress.

So yeah, its no wonder people complained but again, it wasn’t because people simply asked for something like the OP in this thread is doing. Furthermore, they just complained, no solutions were offered by players that were adopted by Blizz. Blizzard had to intervene to save us from ourselves. Era’s population started rising, we saw some bracket activity here and they didnt want their prized fun server to get overrun with the same nonsense. That’s why it was changed.

It had nothing to do with a fan request being adopted and implemented by Blizzard because they thought it was a terrific idea.

Same concept as allowing existing characters to pop world buffs once a month.

Its nowhere near the same thing - its not even the same kind of content - its pve. Players aren’t driving development in the way you would have us believe.

@Axewipe-whitemane

Doesn’t fundamentally change the game. Just makes it more accessible.

Making Era more accessible fundamentally changes the game. I get that’s really difficult for some people to grasp but there it is, whether you want to accept it or not.

Before Classic launched and perhaps for a little bit afterwards the whole point was to get away from all the accessibility and QoL. Lets also keep in mind Vanilla was already a casual MMORPG. It really doesn’t need a ‘talk do this npc once a month for your free buff’.
