WSG is kind of a waste of time

It’s possible to spend like an hour in WSG for what amounts to 33 rep and a little bit of honor. Premades has been discussed to death, but would it be so awful if the rep reward was increased across the board? SOD isn’t going to last forever and we’re not getting any younger. lol

No, suffer through unkillable priests with the rest of us.

WSG forever.

Priest meta woo.

The actual point of bgs is to pvp and do the objectives. It’s not to grind rep and honor.

They need to put a timer of 30 minutes back in and separate premades.

Err, you are missing my point. If you lose WSG you get 1 mark of honor, and you need 3 to turn in. When you turn it in, you get 100 reputation. Meanwhile all you have to do is tag a boss in Ashenvale for 200 each, and if you win you get a lot more than that.

It seems kind of uneven, no? I just had a WSG game that lasted a very long time and was a reasonably fun match, we lost in a 3-2 comeback and the Horde played the game very well. I had a good time. But it kind of sucks to lose after a match like that and get 1 mark of honor and a pat on the back. I don’t even think the Horde felt like their time was well-spent.

Up until Revered. Guess how you get to Exalted. WSG isn’t going to be a waste of time lol

Yeah but you don’t need anything past Revered right now, so this is sort of a moot point. It seems logical that events in future phases will reward more than 100 reputation per WSG win.

Also SOD won’t last forever. Those rewards are balanced around a game cycle that is potentially forever, not a year or whatever.

I don’t think future events are going to be WSG rep though. I would assume them to be AB (for our next), and other reps in the future.

Idk, guess we will have to see.

What is your goal when you queue up for WSG? If your goal is to max out reputation as fast as possible, then yeah you are wasting your time. Go do the new content and hit your reputation rewards 10 times faster.

If your goal is to PvP and play capture the flag, then WSG is a good time. It’s like playing an unranked game in a MOBA or FPS. Do it because you enjoy it, not because you’re trying to unlock some reward.
