So obvious that it took them over 10 months to address.

Blizzard… the word of the day is ‘priorities’, yours really need some looking in to.

How does the honor system in general benefit player experience and gameplay?
because its fun; and fun is subjective.

Answer my question; don’t dodge.
The honor system, as flawed as it is, provides a goal for players. Even with pool parties, hitting rank 14 is a good achievement for many and isn’t easy.
Obviously the honor system as it is is not ideal, but it’s the system we have, and pool parties eased the pain of a bad system. Now the bad system becomes worse. Advocating for an entirely new system in Classic WoW is a farfetched dream that will never happen, so the best we can do is ease the burden of a bad system. Blizzard stamped that out, hence why people aren’t happy.
Your turn.

I would be okay with this if you did it in phase 1. It’s phase 5 now. Stop being a complete joke.

So much for #nochanges. You’re so concerned with the honor system in classic but are too short sighted to realize that even the original developers recognized it was flawed but waited until The Burning Crusade to remove it. All the while people continue to trivialize the raids with world buffs. #Nochanges was #Changed very early on so I’m not surprised by anything you do.

I really hope Blizzard realizes how bad a philosophy “No-changes” was. It’s also a really bad look making a fix this late into the game that serves to hurt casuals more than anyone.
How about you completely dump “No-changes” (you almost have already) and adjust the honor system to bring the brackets back up to the average across servers that was obtained with pool partying?

They hide this post, but it’s true. They are acting maliciously towards their PvP rankers with this “fix,” essentially telling them that “we don’t like you being able to rank up and have a life.”
Blizzard, you’ve already changed Classic from Vanilla several times over. If you’re going to take away the one thing that made ranking bearable for people who don’t eat, drink, and breathe WoW, fix the damn system.

But I play vanilla for pvp. Other people play vanilla for pvp. Some people play vanilla because they enjoy feeling like a god with WBs in raid. I don’t want a TBC pvp system in Classic WoW and I’m sure the majority shares the sentiment of waiting for TBC. If I wanted a new game I’d play retail.

This is actually one of the dumbest changes ever. The current PVP system (not including the pool parties) is one of the most toxic and cancerous systems in a video game and promotes an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Back in original vanilla you basically had people sharing accounts and playing 24/7 in order to get R14. The pool parties and organized PVP brackets are an attempt to prevent that behavior and also create a way for players to actually achieve the goals. Without Pool Parties, its going to increase the degenerate gameplay and toxic atmosphere.
Rethink this. It hurts the entire game.

What are you talking about? I’m saying the current system lasted all of vanilla and should remain that way.
Oh no people will have to play the game as intended… ANYWAY!

This right here is a pretty darn plain and clear confession the people who made this decision don’t even play their own game.

Yes the pvp system is awful. So are half the other things in classic. Warts and all. You dont get to exploit it just because you want easier rewards.

As intended would mean as it was in vanilla so you’re completely wrong.

This didnt happen in vanilla so it wont be happening in classic, Seems like an accurate recreation to me.
