Lmao you dont play a warrior do you. its three buttons gear is all that matters. an awful warrior with good gear will dumpster a good warrior in awful gear.
Continue to walk around with your eyes closed and blizzard will put a wall in front of you too. If your addons weren’t available in vanilla then you are exploiting by your own definition.
Dang, the truth hitting hard af out here lol
Imagine bothering with Blizzard TBC after being treated like we’ve been with classic.

Bracket bloating affects the entire server community. If you are 200k honor away from cap and just playing casually on weekends or whatever it is more likely you’ll hit your target rank if you have other people on the server bloating compared to not.
“Blizzard will make you face the wall” holy mother bruh you cant exploit gear you arent in some commy hellhole getting executed for wanting to go out past curfew.
i dont like this change at all.
but to play devils advocate, im sure this change was brought on as an improvement on blizzards backend. so much more work goes into figuring honor calculations at reset that im sure this change will clean up, not to mention the RMT’s that is prevalent in these “pool parties”. lets be honest with one another, this has grown from just players making alts.
so whats done is done, so now update honor on time weekly.

I cannot believe this change honestly. I already hit r14 so it barely effects me (although I did want to rank another character which I now wont be doing), and I’m still completely baffled and extremely saddened by this change.
You let people grind their ranks for almost a year straight, allowing thousands of r14’s, tens of thousands more people who went for a lower rank, but now that the gear is almost irrelevant and there are only a small amount of people left ranking, you decide to completely ruin these peoples’ WoW experience and make them miserable, as all their hard work has now been for nothing.
I ranked back when there was no bracket stacking, no pool parties, and I didn’t even make it to rank 10 because I had a job. I was playing as much as possible whenever I could to get as high as possible, not even rank 10. Anyone that goes to sleep or does anything besides pvping on wow is no longer obtaining their rank.
Which, of course, is how it was supposed to be, but not if you’ve already let thousands of r14’s into the game, Blizzard!
Insanely idiotic change.

Yes, thats the point. People are getting ranks they shouldnt.

Hahahaha holy crap the boys and girls at Blizzard must have a bet going on to see just how many and severely stupid ideas they can push through before people speak with their wallet, the level of hubris is astounding.
I honestly cannot fathom any other reason why they would make such a change, a change that not only goes against their “warts and all” mantra, but that actively hurts their player base. This has to be a troll company at this point, because clearly there is no rational thought or foresight to be seen.

Dear blizzard. This was my final week I needed to get r14 on a small server. Without any extra bodies in the pool there is only a spot for one rank 13 player here a week.
I understand you dont want players to exploit systems, but as currently implemented this system is exploiting the players.
Its literally impossible to achieve in game rewards with your current system.
Please look into what you can do for these smaller servers. perhaps add a small number of bracket 1 spots.
I could go into a sob story about how much time and effort ive sank into this dream of mine, and how heartbreaking and demoralizing playing this game is going to be after getting 1 week away and never obtaining high warlord.
but please. just do something for these smaller servers. the only people being hurt by this are casual players who care a lot about this game. There is an incredible amount of time being put into these things, its not like they arent deserved. there are much more harmful things being exploited in your game that could be focused on.

You guys have got to figure out how to pay attention to your player base again. Have you guys not learned anything? I really wish you guys would stop trying to do the things YOU think WE WANT, or worse what YOU THINK WE NEED and Instead; do what WE ASK FOR. This community as already shown you guys we know exactly what we want/need.
I could not agree more.
Yup.

Yeahp, just three buttons.
These three buttons include: Heroic Strike queing, Bloodthirst, Whirlwind… aaand Berserker Stance/Battle Stance, Hamstring spamming in the interims, using Bloodrage on cooldown, Overpower when under 25 rage and available (requires stance switching,) timing the usage of Death Wish and Recklessness, Cleave when multitarget, and Battle Shout every two minutes.
Just three buttons, gear is literally the only thing that matters 
Can’t forget Sunder/Mocking Blow/Taunt/Pummel/Demo + Battle Shout.
If you’re on a small server, then the bracket mafia should be easy to enforce.

Oh yeah, I intentionally left out a few that were situational just in case he decided to pull that card lol
A bad warrior in r14 sitting there spamming BT/WW/HS and than execute when its up will outperform a tryhard warrior in bad gear because they never rage starve adn need to do sub optimal stuff like use OP and hamstring fish for WF procs.
If you’re talking about a Warrior that doesn’t even have MC/BWL gear, then yeah.
Thing is, your post said the warrior had MC/BWL gear. Which anyone should be able to get into at this point, they’re 40 man raids that can be done by like 20 skilled players. Trust me, gearing up a new warrior will NOT be a problem, and R14 gear isn’t so much better than MC/BWL gear that you can ignore huge chunks of your ability pool and still outperform people who don’t.

Why are we even discussing the gear dependency of warriors. The point I was trying to make is that between two average players a well geared warrior is going to be able to pump out 20%+ more damage atleast and no one is going to give the lesser geared warrior a second glance.
