they only named the section plunderstorm but its all stuff thats been around for years, barring the shark hat which is new to the TP
Players: I wish Blizz offered fun silly designs to the game that gave generous rewards we know we could earn.
Blizz: Okay, here, see how you like this, it’s just a fun game mode and has lots of rewards that just playing you know you will earn, no RNG.
Players: Why do you hate us!? >:(

The game mode is RNG incarnate, and is built on griefing others. So no, there is no possibility I will earn it as is. 40 renown? Nope. Should take as long as the Gilneas questline took

I really didn’t feel like grinding out one more level to 33 for trader tender. I got from 26 to 32 today. The matches are much harder now than ever.
But I’m getting good at getting 600 to 800 now. So, it makes for manageable gains. The lag is still horrendous at 300ms.
then don’t play plunderstorm
I don’t get why people throw a fit any time there’s content not geared towards their specific tastes.
Plunderstorm is fine, offering rewards for doing it is fine. I don’t like the mode so I just don’t play it.

No fit was thrown. OP just mentioned that they’re using marketing tactics to get people to play it and they think it’s affecting the Trading Post in a negative manner.

the forums in general have been throwing a fit about it.
OP isn’t the worst offender, but it’s definitely the straw that broke the camels back for me.
OP’s issue isn’t even Plunderstorm itself. Maybe read the thread?
It’s not griefing/trolling just because you don’t know how to krump.
It’s built on griefing, very simple. Hence the RNG setup, lack of real toolkit, and lack of 1v1 protection
Ooh, “goad”. That’s a new one. Well done for not going with “force”. I think we were all bored with that one. It’s still not true though. Goading someone means to provoke or trick someone into doing something by annoying them. Which they aren’t. It’s just a reward that you get if you fufill their requirements. Otherwise known as an incentive.

You can hit 40 and even place 2nd without attacking another player. Sometimes you will get a very very terrible start, it’s a good thing there are quests like ‘pick up a pile of plunder’ ‘defeat 10 enemies that takes 3 clicks’ that you can do all while running from another player.

Not really, since people attack you.
Very frequent, since Blizzard increased reward for attacking others.
Doesn’t matter if it’s not fun, I ain’t doing it. I am not going to play a mode literally made to get griefed
Jokes on them, the trading post is always full of so much garbage and recolors from the previous month that I never buy anything but the pets and mounts. I have like 5k tendies and barely ever have anything to spend them on.
I’ve hit 2nd easily not fighting people. It’s part of my shenanigans, following other players around and offering spells, showing up at the final circle as a level 3 charging down a level 10 just to rank 1 smackrel and die.
You use this word without understanding it.

Then you are fighting people, just not winning, got it.
You just used a lot of words without understanding any of them.
Except it’s not fun.
Eh, I don’t doubt that there are people enjoying it. There’s nothing wrong with that either. I could argue semantics about design all day, but fun is almost always subjective.

Oh I win, game is easy to win in. shrug
Do you find everything in WoW fun, are you someone who accepts they don’t enjoy everything? Do you consider your opinion fact and welcome bad faith if it supports your view?

You do not, you just said you always run. Therefore you lose any of the fights. If it was fun to you, you would be participating in that, but you do not.
