Why would you nerf the rep grind?

This is true
meanwhile blizzard : “why is everyone in a rush to hit 70”
Player base : to take advantage of early gearing without bans or reverts

The last time I ever heard of Blizz taking action against someone exploiting a bug was back in Wrath when they banned a player who admitted using a boss with a quick respawn to be the first for whatever the level cap was.

Now, it’s probably a case by case thing because some people will swear they didn’t know.

Corporate accounting put a kibosh on that… for certain.

You’d think that someone who has as many posts as you have, would be able to figure something as simplistic as that out… Maybe you’re not ‘Smarter than a 5th Grader’?

interesting thought concept …
I don’t see the relevance?

Like cosmetics are, besides armor specific ones, account wide…
Do Alts need the gear? not really… as they can get it easier as soon as M+ starts.
Do alts need the Mount? no because account wide.
do Alts need the achievements? No because account wide.

SO what exactly do Alts need from those reps that is Mandatory

You still can. You just need to spend twice as much time doing it now.

You gotta think like a business person that doesn’t respect your customers’ time - then it makes more sense why they do this kind of stuff.

My dude, the expansion isn’t even a week old, you’ll be fine, I assure you this isn’t an issue for 99% of players. Try enjoying the game instead of stressing over the imaginary rat race.

because it is content that needs to hold for 2 years …
and shouldn’t be consumed in 7 days

This rep grind? For 2 years? You’re funny.

Also - you can just add more rewards each patch to extend the life of the grind without disrespecting paying customers.

And that will potentially happen because the key grind is only the first stage of the obsidian keep afaik.
At least I thought seeing other stuff that was datamined

So the rep grind doesn’t need to be nerfed when it was already obnoxious in the first place. Check.

Hyperspawn needed to be fixed …

Your alts applying to a mythic+ group is based upon your ilvl first, you know that right?

lol. True comedian.

“A thing that has always existed in the game, every expansion, every tier, all of sudden needs to be fixed.”

Good one sir.

…it’s much more likely that they think this will deter people from the grind, and that’s their goal. So much more likely I’d place money on that bet.

Which is done by the majority of players in this game, now I am starting to see that you have been defending against our points because you’re just selfish.

What kinda bugs me is the combo of nerfing plus the rep being purchasable on the AH. If it’s a pretty quick grind, then whatever, but it’s frustrating when something is both a) a huge time/effort commitment and b) able to have that time skipped if you have deep pockets.

Ultimately though, the bulk of the playerbase probably won’t notice this happened.

They do purge a lot of these every expansion. And I do mean every expansion.
