The new PVP system needs to be explained better

On the small servers, people were getting R14 with 200-300k per week. People were just coordinated in who was next in line and paying for pool parties.

On big servers, people were account sharing regularly. I played in multiple premades where various people who go to work and their brother/sister/friend would just silently pilot the toon to keep up.

500k is still a big time committment for casual players.

I think the system is fine except that it spamming AV has become the meta as it did in SoM. I wish Blizz would tweak honor/rep to encourage mixing it up outside of holidays.

People throw this term around, but the PVE gear is easier to get.

I mean easier is relative. if you have the gold pve is super easy.

just join a guild, and gear is EZ mode

I didnā€™t see it linked but I found this calculator that someone made and it seems pretty accurate on where I was last week to where I am at now - https://soffe.github.io/ClassicEraHonorCalculator/

calculator is off
and by that I mean it goes off of what blizz states in their post, not reality

Doesnā€™t really matter. Era as a server isnā€™t all itā€™s cracked up to be. The game isnā€™t meant to be played at p6 forever. Itā€™s a joke how much gear the server holds as a whole. People getting free r14 makes no difference at this point

The calculator seems fairly accurate as to what I was last week.

|1|1(75%)-4(90%)|33750|
|2|4(90%)-7(90%)|72223|
|3|7(90%)-10(20%)|196875|
|4|10(20%)-11(84%)|262500|
|5|11(84%)-12(98%)|461538|
|6|12(98%)-13(72%)|461538|
|7|13(72%)-14|461538|

I started at rank 1 nearly rank 2 last week. Hopefully this is accurate. The calculations make it a 7 week journey for me. Honestly a snooze fest if true.

no it doesnt. just pvp to get higher ranks. explaining it more will allow more people to gameify the point system, instead of just being better at pvp

Hey blizz how about you make a pvp bar?

Overly geared players from SOM and prior carrying newbs through raids is where the real day to day welfare epics come from.

Iā€™m curious in your mind what is ā€œbetter at pvpā€. Is it doing objectives, racking up hks, or is something else? Regardless of what metric you use for ā€œBetter at PVPā€, classic pvp ranking has always been about honor per hour. So isnā€™t that the only real metric that matters?
