Renown Sucks, Please No

So, I hate renown. Didn’t play any of Dragonflight cause once I got to max level the story was locked behind renown grinding and I’d rather jump headfirst in a wood chipper.

I’d rather step into oncoming traffic.

I’d rather hop-scotch into a train at full speed.

Anyways, is TWW also gunna be garbage that locks the story behind renown?

Renown tracks are a million times better than just plain old rep tracks.

Locking away storylines is bs, though.

I wouldn’t go that far but I don’t care for renown

It’s basically just rep which I didn’t care for either.

Cool story.

Renown is a much better system than the old honored/revered/exalted system.

  • There are more breakpoints so you get rewards more frequently.
  • Hitting certain breakpoints makes alts gain renown significantly faster.
  • The old reputation system still had storyline quests locked behind different tiers. That isn’t unique to renown.

I didn’t ask if I wanted vanilla rep, or say that it wasn’t also worse. And I’m not thankful the new system is slightly less annoying and abusive.

I asked if the next expac was again going to lock the narrative behind a useless grind.

If you say so, pretty low bar. But I guess that’s you.

Probably.

Its how like, every expansion has worked in WoW’s history?

Fortunately it was pretty optional.

Afaik rep will be account wide in TWW which is awesome for me. I usually play 3-4 characters about equally so rep and reknown always felt bad for me. Level 20 reknown on one and 14 on another instead of being maxed out already. I don’t know if there will be rep story locks but should be easier for altoholics

Me too, so just ignore it. There’s no player power attached to it that isn’t more powerful elsewhere, so it’s worthless. The only time it became remotely relevant is in this current season where you needed a little renown to do the weekly quests for the half spark.

My core issue with renown was that doing bog standard quests don’t generally give any.

While normally that’s a good thing since you know what you can ignore, you don’t know what a chain will end up giving without looking it up and that’s lame.

Yes, because I enjoy those modes?

I have nothing wrong with them taking my money.

I don’t enjoy renown grinds, and do enjoy the story.

I don’t see what’s hard to understand here? Locking narrative behind tedious and boring grinds, does not an RPG make. Or at least not one that sparks any degree of joy.

But I get it, you’re trying to be cool. Continue, please. I’m waiting.
