Now Blizzard as installed a system where you cant go “fast”, it is worst than a pay to skip model in a mobile game, you have time gate on everything you could “farm” in this game. Where is the fun of being “forced” to do a daily for 30+ days, if I want to do old content, is there really a problem to remove those from old content, 1h a day for 30 days is the same as 30 hours divided as you choose. I’m paying and cant even do half of thing I would like because the farming necessary, and we are talking about mostly cosmetic stuff here, is restricted, why? Just to forced us to not clean everything in 2-3 month of cosmetic? even then, if I do every daily of all the reputation or zone I didnt do back then, it will still take me a while, but with this system, im not even trying
Do you have an example of this? What old content is locked behind a 30+ day quest grind?
BC: Shatari Skyguard,
Netherwing
Wotlk: Champion
Panda: Cloud Serpent
To name a few, you can farm maybe 500 rep per day with their daily, needing 35k rep for exalted so, 30 days +
You can grind Skyguard rep as much as you like.
This is one reason I use tokens to play i can stop whenever I want not stuck in a 6-12 month contract , if something is months away I just stop playing for months
All of those are optional content though. You don’t have to grind any of them unless you want mounts. By “Champion” do you mean the Argent Tournament?
Ya argent tournament, I know they are optional, but they are still blocked behind the wait wall. this is the only reason to “farm” those, duh, cosmetic and achievement
yeah, like killing monster for 15 rep a pop?
The game is always around that premise of a cap on how much you can get done. They want people resubbing so it is ongoing, not just burn through something and quit. Just how MMO’s function.
They’ve doubled down this time around to slow you down even more which is annoying. But whatever.
They already know what would happen if there was no time gating. People would complete everything in 2 weeks then sit there and yell at them for not having anymore content in the game.
well now it is the same “problem” just differently, You do stuff for 1-2 hours (if you dont touch old content) and you have nothing else to do, so, whatever how is this different
I like it, I can play 2 days a week and not fall behind.
15 rep for one-shotting a mob is very generous.
Because you cant unsub now because you have to come back tomorrow. If you finish everything and dont have anything to do tomorrrow the chances of unsubbing are higher.
They’ll have people complaining either way. This isn’t really to stop people from burning through it as opposed to ‘‘lets add a crazy number so it takes them X months to get’’. So they just have to work ------- this hard instead of ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this hard.
Maybe have something in between, not restrict it so much of having 2-3 daily each rep, like have double or triple the amount of daily for the old content.
Yep. Even tabard upped in old dungeon you are seeing 3 usually, sometimes 5.
One time I made a mag har orc. She needed a proper orky know watz (warhammer orcish) ride. Closest game has is goblin stuff. So i power spammed rep in dungeon to get the rep locked goblin trike in a night.
15 rep would have made this much faster than the 3 and 5’s of a mechanar loop rotation.
Netherwing can be farmed in an hour or two. Just go collect eggs. it’s far easier than doing the dailies anyway.
Eh? The Cloud Serpent rep can literally be knocked out from Neutral to Exalted in like an hour.
