Maybe it increases exponentially. By April 29th, you can get 20 renown in 1 round doing Captains orders consisting of landing and/or killing a buzzard
Doubling at the near end? Should have been doubled at the start…

I got it done before this, but I’m happy for my Guildies who still need to finish having an easier time than I did.

With 15 days notice. Why tf cant they give us a month? WHY?
fun
plunderstorm
cant have these two words together
I’ve been steadily plugging away at my renown, trying to get a level or two per day. Don’t play PvP, but love that I can play a kind of stealth game instead to get the rewards.
My older sister, however, gets super stressed by playing this, and she will be super relieved to find that she can still get to Renown 20 a little faster.
I know there’s a lot of divisiveness on this event, but I have honestly been having a really good time with it. I hope they give non PvP players reasons to earn plunder going forward. One more way to enjoy WoW is (almost) always a good thing.

I actually enjoy it quite a bit. Once you stop worrying about the rewards, it’s a fun romp.

Those who know how unpopular Blunderstorm is and how much blizz cares about metrics and that at the end they’ll bite the bullet, lower the grind to bump up the number of accounts who engaged with it because this whole thing has been a painful, abusive exercise in forced player engagement.
Hopefully Phil at Microsoft is smarter than them and asking probing questions like “how many unique accounts engaged with the content once they’d gotten all the rewards you enticed them into playing for, how many after they got the tender awards? How many stopped after getting the bird mount?” and so on which should separate out nicely just how unpopular this is.
Though I fear the real attempt here (and let us hope it failed because we are MMORPG players who want an MMORPG and devs who spend time developing an MMORPG for our sub dollars) may be to see how many new people subbed for the first time just to play this and how many people re-subbed to play this. I hope both those numbers are very low because if they’re high unfortunately it encourages the devs to spend more time on “experiments” like this that the playerbase hates to try and draw in new blood. Just like Netflix’s ugly habit of dropping shows after a few seasons was due to the fact that performance was graded on how many first time subscribers watched the show as the first thing they viewed and for shows several seasons in that number dropped obviously.

I don’t really see the point since I already progressed through MoP when it was current. I’m not a collector so the random FOMO mounts don’t really grab me and at the end of the day it’s kinda like Runescape Leagues – effort put into a character that isn’t relevant to the “main” game. I appreciate that it’s accelerated to mitigate that feeling of wastefulness, but that’s all it does – mitigate it.
I have a friend who’s really excited for it though, so I’ll probably at least dip my toes in.
LOL. No one saw this coming /s
I admit I had to just get it done so I could never touch it again. I’m glad anyone on the fence about completing has a chance to wrap this up faster but I feel bad that you’re likely left with the people that just want to pvp it.
Well, I’ve almost got the parrot mount at level 20, so, maybe, this means I’ll be able to get to …level 25!
I hit 32 today and try to get one Renown each day.
Will def hit the 40 now.

Honestly even with the boost I’m not going to do it. I played it two times and it’s just not my type of game
Can we get clarification this is a rep increase and not a plunder increase? The last time you increased things you increased plunder and massively skewed the levelling curve, if this is another plunder increase some people are going to be level 10 before they’ve left their landing area.
Bro out here tryna poop on other people while maining SoD lmao
