I’m motivated to not spend conquest because i don’t want to buy an expensive conquest item when there’s a chance i can get it for free next week.
I used to be excited to spend conquest currency on the best gear. Now i’m afraid to spend it.
Also making tier gear only accessible from weekly chest is nothing short of a meme.
the whole arena forum should be about this rn wth
no sack fr
Recipe for fun: Don’t let players buy the gear they want with the currency they earned.
it occured to me that this expansion with all of the loose parallels to wotlk did another sneaky one.
Vault.
Vault of Archavon.
the og weekly rng pvp gear.
10 characters
I honestly hate the vault. The rng they’re using to inflate game time is nonsense. Maybe if they added protection against getting a piece we’ve already bought it wouldn’t be so bad, because its effectively a free piece from just doing what we were going to do anyway, but nothing feels worse than buying a shiny new piece only to get it in the vault on Tuesday. If they’re going to make me feel like I just wasted 875 conquest that I got repeatedly curb stomped to get, at least guarantee that duplicate has a socket…
Except VoA didn’t drop weapons iirc. And that’s the big thing for most people.
I’ve gotten trinket off last weeks dungeon reward quest, this weeks dungeon reward quest and 2 options of trinkets in the vault.
The vault is why my friends quit due to getting gear that’s useless over and over.
I have disliked this xpac the most and that’s saying a lot since bfa happened.
preach it sister
this is exactly what happened to me this week… and my friends
Are you complaining about a free item given weekly?
You know in previous expansions we had to go kill a boss for it. It was also not personal loot meaning you were rolling on it with the other 9 noobs from your class there, if anything did happen to drop for you.
Yeah it only dropped specifics. Which in a way is an improvement lol. You knew what you could afford to wait on cause vault might drop.
I’m just not a fan of loot boxes for pvp
Release your soul of that pain and just spend all your conquest point and forgot about the chest.
I got a wep this week seems like a good system to me bro idk why you’re complaining
Good rng for you while others unfortunately get double back pieces or garbage stats.
The vault should not allow multiple pieces of the same armor type as rewards.
Many of us don’t have the time to soak an immense amount of time into WoW every week per work / family / responsibilities so it’s really frustrating when you get absolute garbage or no upgrade at all. I understand that it’s rng but they shouldn’t allow multiple items of the same armor type to waste a vault unlock spot.
Idk what is sarcasm
yeah I can’t relate actually
Oh that’s right, forgot this is the troll hole.
thats why you wait till you get your vault item to spend the currency
That’s not how this works.
The “free item” cuts into conquest we’d otherwise be able to earn.
We don’t earn 1k or so conquest per week (or, our rating doesn’t increase our weekly cap as it did in previous expansions). We earn 500 conquest per week because of the weekly vault.
I would much prefer to be able to farm more conquest on a weekly basis than lose that weekly currency on pure RNG.
The weekly vault is an opportunity cost, removing extra conquest we’d otherwise be able to farm and subsequently spend on the gear we want. It’s not a free item.
Edit:
It feels good to work for currency and then use that currency to buy the thing I want.
It feels bad to work to then have to wait until the following week to maybe get the thing I want even though I worked for it.
He was obviously being sarcastic
I would much rather just get a conquest bonus from my weekly vault.
That would be the best option.
Could even keep their “earn more honor get more rewards” structure. As in, instead of having three items available because you earned 6k honor last week, you’d just get bonus conquest.
