So it kinda proves a point I like to say : if you say not to bother with that then korthia should be removed from the game since the best way to enjoy it is by not playing there.

Pretty much, Shadowlands paragon boxes rewards only gold and, according to some rumors which i am not sure of, sometimes mounts.
They could at least give us anima, the 9.0 factions could give grateful offerings, stygia and soul ash from Deaths Advance and Ven’ari, but no, just gold, have fun.
How did you get it with only logging in so little ?

Incorrect, Getting to tier 6 and grinding Relics is a reliable way to upgrade your conduits to 252, especially the ones from Dungeons, which cannot be gotten to 252 in any other way.
Further, thorgast’s way of getting it is gated to 1 per week as far as i can gather.
While it can be argued that it’s not that big a deal to have conduits not fully upgraded, i would argue, it’s actually kinda nice to have them on high level.
it makes a very tiny difference overall, unless you are pushing mythic tier the day it comes out, really don’t bother
This is how to kill the fun of playing WOW.
If this game needs to survive they have to change the Team that runs it.
yesterday whil i was tryin to ride thru a pack of useless mog in korthia tryin to reach a “rare” who was, in fact, already killed by a mob of ppl i was thinkin… “why im doin this? just for this useless rep?”.
I agree with the guy say MP rep were more fun. Korthia is…unfun.
Ill continue to play cause im the typical hamster in the wheel but sincerely… im feeling dumb lately.
I work 50 hour weeks, have a family and do other things. I was managing to get 25 ish epic rep things in the possible two days if the quest rewarded epic items… I just don’t think it’s as bad as people make out. It’s gated, yeah… but why do you have to rush it?
Typically I will exalt every rep that is tied to some content, even ve’nari (as she at least had guaranteed rep every day with her dailies).
But Korthia is a big nope. I’ve had days back to back with no research on the dailies and the weekly and assaults alone awards what? A guaranteed 1000ish rep?
I’m not going to spend hours in a zone for a chance of rep when I could be doing actual content.
Please blizzard, always make reps have a somewhat reliable gain over time. The weekly is not enough to count because it would take over a year of just the weeklies alone to net max rep. I mean come on. Every other rep even if you did only the “big weekly” or an emissary, you’d still get there in 4-5 months, whereas if you rushed it you’d get it in 2-3 weeks, but still have time for content.
With Korthia “rushing” the rep actively takes time away from doing content due to how it works. It’s abysmal design. I should be excited my rogue only has 11k to go, but Christ that is still ages away unless I literally sit him in Korthia and do laps for days on end.
It’s not an exciting way to gain rep. It’d be salvageable if the rares gave guaranteed amounts for example but you can have one day where killing all gives you barely 300 rep and another where you get 2000, it’s stupid.

You must’ve gotten really lucky with the drops then. I’m playing daily and still not there yet.

not due to rng only to do dminishing returns on drops.
its done on purpose so people dont farm everyday only max 2-3 days a week.
you should see it by now - if you do stuff casualy like 2 times a week you should be done with it by the time 9.1.5 lands - aka week after we hit 80 renown .

Thats BS.
Many people have only just hit rank 5. It’s not hard to spend 40 min there and come out with less than 500 rep. Do that 2x per week and its 1k rep or 16 weeks.
Also, I’m not talking about diminishing returns. I’m talking about the things not dropping or just not getting rep quests. Theres no diminishing returns on something that doesn’t drop.

Gotta agree on this, no way it’s going to be grinded on alts, my main is stuck on tier 5 for what feels like a lifetime.
Perks from such a HUGE grind should be account wide just as they did for Ven’ari and the Torghast bonuses.

That was ‘corruption’.
That was Argus (Antoran Wastes and Krokuun).
Anyway… It’s a GRIND, for sure. More of a grind than most other reps in WoW. The one most recent that was also a GRIND was the bee one.
I don’t mind grinds. But I agree that the zone where I’m now spending most of my WoW time, isn’t really a place where I WANT to spend of my WoW time. It’d dreary and depressing like most of Shadowlands.
At least BfA had wonderful launch zones.
Feels like it was clearly designed with the intention in mind to force player to spend as much time online as possible.
The entire shadowlands way of thinking is “The players will play the game no matter what so we must design it in such a way to force them to spend as much time as possible for metrics/wow token sales” without factoring “fun”-

Broken shore was worse by far imho
The thing is : why could not we get something from Tier1 to 5 ? I mean, those reputation ranks are kinda useless.
Yeah, that is right : who ever allowed such a thing to happen should also be fired.
DO IT !
Each to their own.
I had ‘keyboard breaking’ tendencies in Argus.
Never had that in the Broken Shore.
