Rank 14 grind

tbc has arenas for this reason

stop trying to change classic

Nice 9 Month Old Necro. As if we didn’t need anymore Threads, on this same subject, flooding the front page.

Arena is a failure. Blizzard even admitted it.

FOR HORDE!

not in TBC

it flourished under that system

People forget that about the OG devs.

They literally said those words, it the one thing they added to the game they would have taken out if it wouldn’t have upset players.

Nope it requires a lot of work and if you aren’t able to get it that’s on you.

Honestly it’s this type of min/ max achievement focused gaming that really takes something away from the gaming genre for me.

Nobody plays games just to be entertained, you can’t be satisfied with not acheiving rank 14… but that was never intended for the majority of the population. It wasn’t intended for the top 10% of the population.

Rank 14 was supposed to be reserved for the top 1% of the population. Now I’m going to try to avoid hurting your feelings, but if are you reading this post there is a 99% chance you are definitely not the top 1% of players. You don’t deserve rank 14, you shouldn’t try to get it, abd you will be happier when you realize that.

The same can be said for world firsts, speed run clears, server firsts, etc…you are not that special. I am not that special. The sooner the average player accepts this, the sooner they can just enjoy the parts of the game that are meant for them to achieve and only reach for the goals that are really worth trying for…

I agree with Eagle, and I was not, nor ever will be horde.

The classic ranking system is for the unemployed, disabled, and the streamers. No one with a 40hr week job is going to get rank 14 most likely. I would be interested in being proven wrong.

There are plenty of examples

That’s what people did - and that’s part of how we wound up with Retail. This notion that everything needs to be accessible to everyone is just garbage.

ya but, u dont need world 1sts or speed runs to get gear. lol. Mediocre gear at that, r14 is replaced at AQ (which is an easy raid now). The thing is back then, rank 14 = AQ and Naxx effort because raiding was hard then, while rank 14 was actually way easier than now.

Now, raiding is super easy, while the PvP system is 3x harder cause everyone is minmaxing for it.

Sometimes it seems that way to me.

But what was it like back in 2005-2006? Apparently people LIKED the game back then.

back then rank 14 was not as bad as now. People got in on most servers with like 10 hours a day of playing, if not less sometimes. Now, you HAVE to play 20 hours a day, literally, or you will not even get rank 12.

This is for the highly skilled and dedicated men and women of the alliance.

Horde have no honor and will gladly cheat their way to rank 14. Sad, that horde will que dodge, account share and bot for such a prestige.

Shout out to all the amazing Grand Marshals. You make the Alliance proud.

lol now i see what kinda alliance u are. It sure took skill to PvE over and over again for 20 hours a day, for months. That is a sign of acc sharing or mental illness. Nobody ever played that much in real vanilla.

The great men and women of the Alliance dis no such dishonest acts.

Pst. I play horde also. Watching what Alliance did to get rank is beyond disgusting. At least they played and did not bot. Premades avoiding all pvp to get high rank. Is an exploit that should have stripped the rank from them. My posts when its regards ro ranking is very sarcastic.

this is not true for a lot of classes/specs
