Retail is dead

At 50 points a win? No thanks

I think it was 50% increased exp but idk if its still active since the expansion launched

Odd because I literally turn off the stream watching Cata.

Wrath was horrible lol

When wrath started most people talked about how much better BC was. When Cataclysm started most people talked about how much better Wrath was. Over time though, most people talk positively about BC and Wrath, along with Mists, WoD (for pvp gearing only), and sometime’s legion in regards to pvp. Cataclysm, WoD (actual pvp gameplay), BFA and Shadowlands have not stood the test of time. Shadowlands actual gameplay wasn’t too bad IMO, but the gearing process and the expansion itself was pretty crap.

Obviously it’s all subjective in the end, but I’m talking about the general population. I haven’t heard too many people say wrath pvp was horrible though, excluding s5.

yeah viewership sucks for cata pvpers compared to retail. I imagine that’s why blizz is paying them otherwise they wouldn’t even bother. Who knows which ones got paid and didn’t but one of the bigger retail pvp streamers said he’s getting sponsered by blizz to play it.

Link it or take the tin foil off your head man.

Isn’t it pretty common to play and stream the latest hyped thing until interest dies off in 2-3 weeks

I’m not going watch a week worth of 6 hour a day streams trying to find exactly where he said it but he clearly told everyone “I was already going to play cata but blizz is sponsoring me to play it so I might as well”

go ask ruki in his stream, maybe he’ll address it again. Not like it really matters because it will die in a month anyway. He was getting less than half his usual viewership playing cata.

maybe for the smaller streamers trying to get any viewership and direction they can but pika didn’t even bother playing it this time. Most streamers I watched didn’t look like they are having fun, just going through the motions.

You are burdened with supplying proof to your claim.

honestly, 2s isn’t too bad if you can pump. I’m not saying to climb in but just to play for conq. the higher you go it’s just cancer teams but yea, you can farm some solid conq for a while

just asked him in stream he said it was only for 1 day. But still. He was paid to play it. A bunch of other streamers were too.

don’t know if the time stamp is working on the link but it’s at 3 hour 9 minute mark

This describes any streamer ive ever watched play. They’re all doing mmorpg content for hours every day. Its all going through the motions and you’re fooling yourself otherwise. Pikaboo, all of them. Its their job man. They’re professional entertainment.

I love Venruki. He’s such a down to earth dude and a positive influence in the community.

Besides that, Cata is awful. It’s a lesser form of retail and I’m not sure why blizzard is trying to push it on us. I would imagine it would be to sell character level boost.

Why are you constantly harassing me?

I asked a couple of more casual friends if they wanted to queue last season and they’d link me one of his videos and cite deflation as the reason they hadn’t queued.

Well, only two of them did but still. :dracthyr_love_animated:
