Literally 0 reason to have gilded and runed crest capped in WEEK 4. Personally dont think there should be a cap at all but if you’re going to keep a cap maybe have it go up substantially instead of 90 each…

Erm runed is already effectively uncapped and most people don’t have many mythic pieces so
Removing the cap on crests would force players into endless grinding just to stay competitive. It would widen the gap between hardcore and casual players, leading to burnout and frustration. Caps ensure balanced progression, preventing no-lifers from completely out-gearing everyone else. WoW should be fun, not a second job.
Sure people who base their self worth on the video game (someone with near 50k forum post and as many achievements points) might be happy but these arent really typical every day players and blizzard needs to think about the broader audience not just the addicts.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard lol
Stop drinking the Kool-aid my dude.
People mostly have already finished M+ goals, and gotten BiS for the most part (just need to upgrade them). Top 150 is 5/8 or more on mythic raiding with top 200+ having 5th boss on less than 10% to kill. 2,188 guilds have cleared Heroic 8/8. This wasn’t a hard season by any measure.
The cap is there to time-gate everyone because the next patch of content is in 2 months.
Nothing more.
They knew, and we knew, this patch was not going to have enough content. THAT is why the cap is there. Has nothing to do with “balanced progression”.

Lol, what game are you playing? You are only a few weeks into the season. Very few players a close to finishing their seasonal goals and they most likely dont have their BiSs.
At this point, your statement only applies to the super motivated…but for everyone else, its going to take at least a few more weeks if not months

They’ll remove the cap about half way through the season.

Experience may vary I suppose. My server has dozens of people with the mounts already running around. Feel free to check scores, there’s already over 350 teams pushing 16+
This is a common sense issue. Apply critical thinking and it is no longer dumb.
I always find it funny that the biggest “kool-aid” drinkers are the ones literally chugging the stuff and projecting it onto others.
Even worse, you agree after calling their take dumb.

“Dozens” and “350 teams” are both insignificant portions of the overall player base. Its silly to claim “people” have mostly reached their goals and then throw out such small numbers lol

Dozens out of millions of players…you do realize that is a very small amount? And you think I said something dumb?

Once you’ve hit your caps, there’s not much point left to playing. Maybe this is Blizzard’s way of depopulating the game.

I appreciate the cap as it gives me time to work on alts without losing progress on my main

Same, it allows me to actually enjoy the game as opposed to partake in the rat race.
Would you really prefer to get outpaced or luck diffed in the first couple weeks of the season lol?
Actually I’m happy there’s a crest cap as I am a pretty casual player.
Stay on that copium though
Only if you ignore having fun and only prioritize gear.

Just because you no life the game doesn’t mean everyone else does.
Very happy with gilded crest cap as is. Runed crest cap kinda just doesn’t matter after week 3-4.
But ultimately would prefer if we just didn’t have gilded crests or myth track at all.

You peeps are some of the biggest flip-floppers I’ve ever come across, it’s hilarious…
Not dumb at all.
Look at what happened at the start of Legion with people doing non-stop AP farming for their Legion weapon. The same held true with people grinding Azerite to level up their Heart of Azaroth, or during the MoP Remix people who had high-level cloaks compared to those who didn’t and how that hurt that expansion. Hell they even penalized people who did Frog Farming, despite everyone and their mother knew of the Frog Farm since days where MoP was the current expansion.
Raids used to be capped. in ICC, you could only get to Deathbringer Surfang before you got locked out for a week. As they opened the raid in chunks that lasted 3 or 4 weeks. I think Uldar was like that, too, where you couldn’t enter Ulduar until week 2 of the raid being out.
Having a cap is nothing new under the sun, though it would be nice if in the .5 patch they unrestrict the cap and allow everyone to farm as much as they want to.
