WoW Classic Era 1.14.4 PvP Ranking Update Examples

Can someone explain this to me simply like I am a baby?
Roughly how many hours a day for how many weeks to get to rank 14?
I quit at rank 12 last time because 14 seems impossible for anyone who doesn’t break the ToS (Anyone who doesn’t account share or bot.)

I think if you honor cap every week from 0 it’ll take 9 weeks of capping honor to get to 14.

this is misleading and completely wrong, no one need to honor cap below rank 10.

yeah its a shame blizz came out at first saying it can be done in 8 weeks, but bc they rushed an untested system and people were exploiting it now it they added a week to everyone who will rank instead of banning or taking care of the exploiters!

it was 8 weeks said by blizz, but last week people found a dishonorable kill exploit and people went crazy doing it now everyone has an extra week, instead of punishing the ones who did it

awesome info!

This is nice!

bruh!rank is too easy now

Now the meta is to get the honor out the match and just afk out since the ques are long enough to just get in the next que wow bout time you made people stay to finish the match to get any of the honor that’s just plain dumb not to have it that way!

500k is still super un healthy.

10 hour days to cap is just insane to a normal working individual. Meanwhile I can log on for 3 hours and raid once a week and get geared up how does that make sense?

HWL isn’t supposed to be a casual grind. It’s one of the few things in the game that requires you to play more than the average person.

so its okay to casually gear in pve and then stomp all the pvp’rs out who dont enjoy raiding and are stuck in crappy blues and greens??? Make sense

Yes it’s generally OK to beat people you outgear. What are you asking for here exactly?

Like I said earlier - more than 200 alliance players got over 500k honor, 400 alliance players over 400k last week and that’s just using honor spy. That’s a lot of people! It doesn’t need to be nerfed or adjusted. Maybe that was the intent to have the same cap on both factions in order to motivate faction balance.

“players”… 25% of them are bots, unless proven otherwise

probably more than that LOL
or act like it…

you were really wrong when you wrote this like so far off who could have even guessed how the system was actually going to work. every thing you wrote was wrong every single thing

Where’s your post analyzing what would happen in the very early days before that Discord or any real data?

Right. There isn’t one.

Why reply to that post from a month and a half ago? Are you always rude for no reason?

I appreciate the work that went into the new PvP Honor system for WoW Classic Era. It was a bit of work.
I like things about these changes, namely how rank is permanent. That is marvelous.
Glad to see some love given this version of the game and this was love.

Unfortunately, I do not like the new system’s decay both before and after my recent experience with it bugging out and applying to me twice after one reset. I feel it is pointless and an unnecessary holdover.

The honor grind thresholds already serve the purpose for requiring a suitable amount of time and adding in decay is unnecessary. I say this because:

I have two HWL’s that acquired their rank while Era was ‘dead’ before the 2023 population explosion. It was easier then than now and that was on the old system. It cost me 60k (honor) to go from R13 to R14 back then.

So yes, the honor caps are fine and replicate the old grind suitably. The decay simply isn’t needed in my honest opinion. I’m sure some people here will disagree with me here, just as there are people in game that do agree with me and that’s fine.

This is how I feel about it.

This update absolutely ruined the need for premades and the fun of team vs team battlegrounds. For the people who actually hit rank 13-14 on the old honor system this is a damn shame. The whole point of classic was to NOT make changes to vital aspects. Participation trophies for everyone! Lets just call it “Participation Trophy Era” instead of Classic Vanilla…
