Hello everyone with BFA taking a lot of the value out of glad titles and the upcoming mount changes taking it one step further I think it’s time we have a conversation regarding the purgatory that exists between 24 cr and 3k at the end of the season.
A simple thing I can think would be to have 2 glad mounts, same model same color. The 27 one has armor which can be a reward for 50 wins above 27. Call it the corrupted gladiator’s elite mount. include a temporary elite gladiator title for the season and we have a good bridge between current glad and R1.
Open to any other suggestions but I think some form of a bridge needs to exist.
Idk why but in my head I just imagine Blizz forgot how to do math so they did away with percentile rankings.
Makes me giggle.
Or maybe they’re just lazy. Idk.
But yea I wish it’d go back to that. And let us keep our non-r1 titles…not sure how everyone feels about that part but damnit we earned them, we should keep them.
After this was announced in what, season 2(?) it should’ve been that way. I like my welfare Duelist and I’m hoping for a welfare Glad but after this expansion Elite should just be a 2.4 title and Glad goes back to what it was or maybe 2700+? Since titles are during the season now Idk how it’d work unless they reverted.
I’m pretty sure 2400 WAS top 0.5% for most of BFA. according to arenamate there are more people playing at 1400+ than ever before because there’s PVE rewards and echoes to grind, so the 0.5% was pretty close to 2.4
Honestly it makes me want to Q less. Knowing I can get whatever title this season and then it gets wiped clean at the end of the season just makes me feel like “What’s the point?”
I remember coming back after a long break to Legion S7 and seeing a warrior with the elite set and I said “I’m going to get that set.” So I got it, and I’m glad I did.
I guess the point is I’d rather queue for xmogs at this point because at least I get to keep those.
This is exactly what I assumed players that dont live and breathe pvp would think.
It doesn’t really have any incentive for many people. Imagine they get glad at the very end of the season, they get to wear glad for like a week then they lose it. Has to feel bad.
That’s fair I am only viewing this from the gladiator perspective which got to keep the mount which felt appropriate.
For those that played for the other titles I can see why it felt hollow as there wasn’t anything great you got to keep that signified that achievement.
I know I’m not good enough to obtain R1. I could be if I played more and really tried to improve or find a reliable team I think, but I don’t want to sink that much time into it.
And since I can’t keep any lower titles I just figure why would I even try.
