I didn’t buy a boost, I just wanted to play to have fun, I have a job for work. Blizzard just wants us to buy a boost so they can make that money, so if they find anything inconvenient they can do over the next 2 or 3 months while the iron is hot we will see things that hurt our ability to get anything done. First it was taking the prepatch from 6 weeks to 2, now its hurting BG gains (and an extended maintenance that supposedly stole peoples marks but I don’t know much about that past the complaints I saw), we apparently didnt get an extra slot for a new character so its grind a fresh 60 AND delete one you have if you are that kind of player it seems, next we will see an early launch of a few days to get people to REALLY panic about buying an alt because then they sure as sure won’t have their new toon ready.
Most of us are not arguing for this speed during TBC. Just for prepatch since it is so freaking short and we have much less time personally too.
I’ve played this game most of my life but at this point I hope a new better game takes them out
Im willing to be the honor did go down at 70. The rate of honor gain per bg would be less then now.
I really hope a better game comes out
At this point I am seriously considering going to FF14 till Ashes comes out.
I grew up on warcraft as well. Watched brother play W1/2, played Warcraft 3 and was there for the opening of WoW. I’ve only ever unsubbed due to irl issues or needing a break. Never once have I felt that I wanted to leave the game due to how poorly Blizzard themselves treated it. Till now sadly.
I’ve been hoping for years now.
ONE guy made a post saying it was too high, also ignoring the fact that we earn next to nothing from kills. They then rush nerfed the bonus honor from BGs while doing nothing for kills. We needed the bonus honor to make up for what the kills weren’t killing us. Now they axed that and left us with neither.
I know it’s a little higher then it was back in the day; But I’m done. I keep getting kicked 1/6 games I finished. I know I’m not the only one with these odds either. I have a brother who plays this and he’s blessed by the gods; hardly no kicks and he started early in the morning and got 2 pieces so far.
Here I am with 1 damn AB mark after 2 hours of struggling. It sucks all the life out of me. I DONT want this and it feels like I’m wasting my time.
I just cancelled my sub. I have a full time job and I play for fun, not for an impossible grind. I had fun for the hour I got to play with achievable awards (was expecting to play bgs for 2-3 hours a night for the rest of pre patch and get 3-4 pieces of R14 gear)
Good job brother! Blizzard doesnt deserve a cent.
I am not playing this game again until all the mess is cleared and there is a fresh reset. In my late thirties. Been playing since the beginning.
So, probably not playing again. A small window after June 1 to see if they release a non-retail, fresh classification of servers. Then I am done.
On the upside, been playing Cyberpunk patched and Resident Evil Village. Great single player experiences if you have the horsepower.
Sad thing is that TBC is an OLD EXPANSION. Not only old, but an extension of a game–not a new one.
Blizzard has already RUINED TBC thoroughly.
This is a reasonable expectation, and the way it was in 2007. Honor came so easily I bought the updated blue set first, and then started gradually buying hte epic pieces as the pre patch continued on.
The bottleneck was never the honor points.
Ahh. Thanks for the kind clarification. Doesn’t sound fun. Guess ActiBli$$ion has totalled PvP experience in the pre-patch, too.
i’ve been seriously considering making Elder Scrolls my MMO because of how screwed Blizzard has been lately
Cancelled my sub as well, sick of the bs
Cancelled my sub this is a joke. On to the next game.
Getting like 1/3 of homies like “It was like this in vanilla” and just straight up dissing normies like me. First no; it wasn’t. I swear it was more and we weren’t getting kicked every old gods damn time. Prepatch had clickers in full r14 gear thinking they were Gods. now I won’t get that chance.
Mock me all you want. But I know we’re all being screwed here.
lots of good legacy games out there as well, I have had an itch for Star Wars Galaxies and Warhammer online lately, both were a lot of fun in their own ways. Not as good as WoW at the time but still fun and a nice change of pace. Also free, like the private servers I may as well go play on if all their fixes are going to continue to come AFTER a bunch of people take advantage of it.
yeah I played through Warhammer Online last year, I quit because the community was pretty toxic. But it was a fun enough game.
